Hey bikerboywill.
At the time i was running xtr v-brakes because the wheels weren't disc compatible and i like the weight saving side of the v's. However, as the description says it was my donor bike and bits off it were used to build my new Giant Anthem... see bike no.1!... You're right though, as you can see i've got discs now and i'm not looking back!!!..
Thanks for your rating...
Michael
Thanks for your vote. Wheels are a pair of Mavic crossrides!.. They came out of the box as a pair...
I should hope the forks wont snap, they're a £400 pair of carbon Pace xc39's. They've not snapped yet anyway.....
This was my donor bike for my new Giant Anthem build. Only the mechs, forks, stem and bars made it across as the Anthem is disc only while i was running XTR v's on this beauty.

looks rather 'bland'. also mismatched wheels look odd. and the forks look like they'd snap when you climb on the bike.
