id stay away from all the ti bolts, theyre really just a useless waste of money. the second you get any mud on your bike, the 100g you saved will be gone. otherwise looks like a sweet build, especially the frame and colors. perhaps a bit of yellow to make it look more racy?

Unless you've got really long runs where you race there's no point buying vented rotors, just get normal floaters or even normal rotors.

also id say dont get the gray fork, it wont match with anything. something with white and blue, like a white boxxer or "old" 40 in white.
