dam rights, man. one of the best xc bikes ever! I was even thinking about putting the original wheels back on. the rear hub is a new dt swiss 240s with stainless bearings. the best money can buy. rear hub alone is worth over $500. the total cost, adding it up would be over $8000 with the dt swiss 240s wheelset. hell with it, one more day and if nobody replies, I'm removing the ad and keeping the bike. Cheers!
