Personally I like the wheels. I'd rather Spins but those are good (to me anyway).
Be prepared for the 'triple triangle haters' to start, oh, it already has
If it was a kona you'd have the kona haters out too.
It's all meant in a nice way though so don't take it to heart.
Nice. The lightening and the Xizang are the only GT's I want to own. Always had a nagging in my head to build a Xizang.
I could take or leave the wheels, but the forks are not right. A GT should not have Specialized forks. A Xizang should always have Judy SLs, not sure about a Lightening, but would probably also say Judy SLs.
So now you realise you don't need those forks how about selling them to me? (Are they one of the 2 sets of 'NOS FSX legs' that sold on ebay recently?).
