Building up bikes

Seeing as Jared is building up a bike from the frame up and I will be making some minor upgrades to my main racer in the spring.

So here is my list that I am posting for others to make suggestions:

Saddle: World Trail Bikes Shadow V
Seat Post: Thomson Elite
Pedals: Time Atac XS
Grips: ? preferably pink, but must work with grip shift

Here are my suggestions for Jared's build.

Wheels: Mavis Crossmax SL or custom built DT Swiss
Headset: Kris King Pretty in Pink
Stem: Thomson or Ritchey WCS
Handlebars: Ritchey WCS Alu
Grips: ODI Lock-on pink edition
Breaks: Avid Juicy or Elixer (non-carbon knowing your riding style)
Shifters: X-O pod-shifters, or pick up a set of X-9 twist grip and you can take the unused X-9s from my Scalpel: save a bit of cash)
Rear Derailleur: X-9
Front Derailleur: XTR (why not save some money and go with XT, only a little heavier)
Chain: SRAM PC-990 Nickle Plaited
Cassette: Deore XT
Tires: Maxxis Ignitors or Continental Speed King (this should be your last choice so we can all test them)
Cranks: Shimano XT Hollowgram w/external BB or FSA Afterburnner w/external BB
Saddle: Shadow V
Bottom Bracket: Shimano or FSA External BB


Hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.
