Now, need to decide how to build.
M900 or M950?
Rigid or Rock Shox?

I have full M900 so it´s easiest way... :)

Really nice one this is. Been looking for the same (size) quite a while, but think it's in good hands in your stable.

Looking forward to see it's finished. Think the 900-910 group fits the best, and with rigids off course.

Cheers,
Martin

those are already the later and imho less nice decals. the original ones which were used until 2001 i think are (even) more minimalistic and sleek looking. the current ones are horrible though, i agree...
