Serotta T-Max Build

[Sithlord]

Hi guys ,

Head is really messed at the min because I cant decide what to build the new project up with (Serotta T-MAX) :? :roll:

I was initially thinking go full XTR M900, I have the shifters and front mech and cantis, but still looking for a nice minty rear , which I cant seem to find for a sensible price.. then I was thinking do I build it up XC Pro, which I like on the IBIS (apart from the brakes) but then I would have two bikes built with the same running gear, which while it makes sense to have a stockpile of XC Pro Stuff for spares etc, for both bikes I feel the serotta needs something else..

Then the spanner got thrown in the works and I was thinking do I build it up with brand new XTR or X0 , :roll:

It would function better and spares are obtainable by the bucket load, but its not period..

I have ridden all the groups mentioned and they all have good and bad points but cant decided on which way to go...

Your suggestions would be appreciated...

Please return frame to sender :!:



I am sure yo-eddy can provide you a m900 mech for less than a new X0 one

I had thought about Campag.. would look real nice, but my experience with the record OR groupset was not one of great enjoyment, never really got on with it,even though the build quality was excellent, gear changes were poor, Mavic , never really liked that and both of these are quite hard to source now, and really cant be doing with the chew on.. and the serotta is going to be ridden the most I think out of all my bikes.. and have to also think about replacement parts. :roll:

If you are going to sue it , I would go for new XTR . Looks good , must work great .

Yea the M971 works really really well, good weight too, but not sure if it would look right on the frame.. I know its the frame and the wheels that really make the bike, but it has to look right too ..
