if your going for weight weenie there might be some weight to be saved witht hat 203mm rotor? i dont know much about bike weights and such but it is rotational weight and i know that is th emost noticeable

but either way i love your build and wanna see some pics

i am doing the coil because i have heard that the air bottoms too much and too easy....and the green bolts match the peadals and nipples on my wheel set.

Oh, and to save weight, don't get a Bottlerocket.

Yes, but it's hardly tough enough for the rigors of freeriding.

By your logic he should get XTR drivetrain-hey! it's super light!
