Jamis Dragon '96 [updates 07-02]

Thanks, there are not many people here who get excited about Jamis, but I really like those frames.
Like you said the Dragon has a lot of nice details, and the Diablo is fillet brazed, which you normally only see whith much more expensive frames.

I know it deserves a good fork and the Pace looks good, but I don't want a elastomer fork anymore.
So I'm looking for a good 63mm air fork, in meamtime the rigid will do the trick.

After months of collecting parts, it's finaly finished (except for the front mech, that is on it's way).
As this is going to be my main rider, I got some modern tires and pedals.
It ended up quit light, about 10 kg's, so can't wait to give it a testride.

I bought a Marzochhi XC700 in very good condition, which suits it perfectly imo.

Bought another wheelset, XT 732 with Schwalbe Rangers.

How does that Mz XC700 perform? The rigid forks looked really good too.
