Re:
I bought a JW2 frame a while back purely on the engineering attraction, built up with what I had laying around it proved to be a great cross country bike.
When an illness made riding difficult I took it upon myself to do a full rebuild.
A bare metal repay in satin black, the forks were anodized black with the lower parts carbon wrapped.
The hard x-fusion shocks swapped out for a rock shox Sid dual air up front and a rock shox MC 3R with remote lock out on the rear. Race face carbon bars,seatpost and cranks, avid elixir cr brakes, floating discs, Sram XO shifters and mechs.
It's a good deal lighter than stock and the larger bodied air shocks give a much better ride.
It certainly draws attention,
