Mountain Death Project

Tons of searching let me to this badass frame!  Can't wait to get it built!

These were built as my XC wheelset...but when I saw them in person?  HAHA...sorry HUNT, they are just cool as F&$%!!

The finished product.

Going with the "British" theme on this bike...frame is UK, color is British Racing Green!...Fender SHOULD match at least a bit, right?? 

These came with the Stans FLOW Mk3 wheels.  My choice.  And colored!

These things are monstrous!  203mm!  More than enough stopping power 

I've been wanting Chris King 'stuff' for quite sometime now.  Always go with something else for either cost reasons or just not the 'right part'.  This time I trimmed elsewhere to get these!  The Matte Mango goes great with the Orange Highlights on the British Racing Green COTIC Solaris frame!

The DVO fork came about quite by accident.  I mulled over forks for weeks...wanted an MRP unit.  Made here, one of the best!....but...cost was prohibitive.  As I looked around I came across this, on sale and couldn't pass it up.  Great company, highly rated fork and more than I'll need for my trail use.

The other Chris King part.  Can't wait to see them on the bike!

I loved the NextR I put on the EDP so much I got another set for MDP.  Couldn't leave my first Love with second hand stuff you know!

I had considered Renthal for my bar from the get go.  Not sure why?  UK most likely.  So when Ryan at Beat asked if I wanted this one for a bargain?  I jumped on it!  35mm and all!

I went with TRP brakes again because I love them on my GDP!  And the modulation is 'best in class' vs what's out there.  And the HUGE rotors will help with hopefully much needed stopping power!

Needing some better climbing ability, I swapped out the Wolftooth for this 30t elliptical.  I used one before and love it, but thought to try the AB one...the guys who started it all!

This one was a tough decision.  Almost more so than the frame!  LOL.  But after much debate, went with the Baron!  Can't wait to ride them!

I wanted GX from the get go, but then toyed around with the idea of X01 for the derailleur...after a little conversation with a buddy, decided on the GX again.  Love my SRAM!

This one was a no brainer. Love WT stuff and had to have the orange to match the accent on the bike!

I just pulled my FOX dropper for a brand X.  Why?  I needed more travel, 170mm vs 150mm.  And it was SUPER inexpensive on sale and I had one on the EDP project, so....

Hey, if Brendan Fairclough uses them...wait...who?  I just google 'best grips' and these dominated.  For the most part.  We'll see :)

A pedal.  You'd think it would be easy. But I'm picky.  This one came out of nowhere to be the choice.  Why?  Cy at COTIC recommended them, highly. Ride what the bike builder rides!

I haven't even built it and I'm already modding it!  Got to go ceramic!  Why?  Hell, why not!

I found these on the JRC components website. I thought they would be pretty cool to try, anything to protect the frame is always a good thing.  And after installing them?  I LOVE THESE THINGS!

Long story, but wound up adding this to the MDP by accident.  It was supposed to be on the EDP, but didn't fit.  So added it to this one instead!  Better safe than sorry.

I had a Joystick saddle, green, with a skull on this bike and loved it...but...this one is SO much more comfy and soooo cool!  Goes wit the "spitfire" WWII theme quite well and looks amazing!

I swapped out the Whisky stem for a 35mm Joystick variety.  Get my weight more upfront to help with damn hills!  I guess we all can't just go DOWN.

I wanted a bit better 'rolling' tire for around town for MDP.  Found these on sale so got them as an extra set to take wherever I go!

These were my primary set at first, but with the new Stan's FLOW's here...well...you know.

I've been TRYING to use these for 3 builds now...and I WILL this time!  I'll be adding them to the new "full time" wheelset, My Stan's Flow Mk3's.
