^^ .8.5 really dig that !

So finally jumped on a 650b and retired my stumpjumper which my mate promptly took off my hands. Its a work in progress but heres my GT sensor elite 2015 S frame.

Mods so far.

Anodized blue 180mm rotors
Andodized blue seat clamp
Centrelock to 6 bolt adapter
110mm DNM dropper
T.H.E thin line grips.
Crank brothers candy
Jetblack Blue pedals ( spare )
1x10 single front chain ring ( not yet installed )

Mods to Come.
Stem
Tubeless
Front forks possibly a 34 Kashima or a Marzocchi 350

So far the bike has been great and loving the performance, its not as light as my 2014 stumpjumper evo (12,2kgs) but meh its more than what my skills can handle anyway. GT @ 13.4kgs

Nice GT, I rate a 7.5/10. Looks nice and burly. Install the single front ring it'll clean things up a lot in the middle. New fork will definitely be a bump in the right direction.
I humbly re-submit my '14 Trance SX for rating. A few changes since last time.Big Grin Can't ride cuz its winter.Madder

What is the size of that front rotor on the giant?
It looks tiny, especially with saints on it

Whatever that green thing is, I love it. 10/10! Being from the states I don't get to see a lot of these brands. It's cool seeing all these different styles.
Here's mine: 2014 Yeti 575

Built up at Leepoff Cycles in the Adirondacks (right around the corner from Whiteface Mountain).
