It's actually nice. If you could change the fork for something better it would be nicer. If you still don't have the BB5 brakes, consider getting the BB7. The BB5 uses a different pad than the rest of the Avid line, while the BB7 shares pads with the Juicy's, so getting replacement pads later might be simpler.

The XCR fork is not in line with any of the other parts, and the BB5 brakes are somewhat weak. There is no need for an XT Shadow and the crank is mismatched to the remaining components as well. Avid brakes generally include Jagwire cables and housing so I wonder why you would want to change to the less reliable Shimano... you have produced another Frankenbike!

MTB Marin 2010 path motorcycles do no longer come plenty greater valuable than this. helpful you may get greater holiday on paper yet this motorcycle carves up the direction as though it had plenty greater advantageous than the 120mm quoted interior the specification. And just to make your journey much greater valuable the Mount imaginitive and prescient climbs like a demon too! Now at lots value this motorcycle will blow away something which you will hit upon in 2011 interior the overall performance/Specification/value league table.

OK for general purpose. Kinda low-end if you're thinking about racing.
