pretty stoked to have bought my first dh bike. ive ridden a couple times at killington on rental bikes and finally decided to get my own. the frame is a never ridden 2015 Turner DHR and the build is as follows;

2015 Fox dc4 kashima
2014- Boxxer world cup
Saint Cranks
Zee derailer
Avid Codes
HT titanium spindle pedals
Ethirteen guide
Thompson bars
Thompson post
DT swiss wheel set
SDG saddle
Minions

ive looked at and researched 100's of bikes in the last two weeks and out of everything in my price range i liked what i found about the turner dhr the best, it was that or a Glory 0. not sure how to post pics on here yet

Congrats! It'd be worth your time (and safety) to go over (or have the bike gone over) to make sure everything is tight and good to go before you bombshard down the mountain. Good piece of mind too! Well wear and get some pics up!

I will definitely do that as soon as it gets here. I want to upgrade the brakes, don't like what I've read about codes. What are the best brakes out there? Hope V4?

Hope's are nice. The latest generation of Saint's are nice too. I like the Formula offerings. There's a ton of feedback on everything on here an elsewhere...once you find something you like, read up on the real world reviews and see if it fits what you're looking for in terms of modulation and performance.

I've had my saints bled 20 times since the 820/ came out and sent like 3 sets back for warranty.
When they work they work AWESOME but they are high high maintaince. I hate avids lever feel so my next brakes will be hopes
