I know there are several guys on MTBR that have Sparks, so lets start a little gallery for our new forum. I'll start...

More work planned when time/money is available. on the list are new front and rear derailleurs, 4 ti pedals, maybe a 08 sid if they offer and real advantages over the Reba. Plus I'm dying to try an rp23 on here. Anyone else do the conversion? Don't know what its gonna take to pull it off, probably some custom made spacers. Overall I'm very happy with the bike, it feels really solid.

Thanks for that Wolf_Racer! Agree the Scotts are well priced, and I really like the Sram drivetrain with XTR brakes! Although, I almost bought the premium to try the new XTR 11spd, as I loved the 10spd xtr. Can't wait to race mine!
One thing I didn't like about the brain, was the small bump compliance wasn't great with the brain set up the way I liked it. Also, when I hit any drops, even small ones, it bottomed out. Especially the fork. (SID brain also)

Just thought I dropped by to show ya'll my new ride! Traded up from a 2005 Scale. Isn't she a beaut? :blush:

Pics of my 2014 Scott Spark 930. I've had it for about one month now, but only 4 rides on it so far. It won't stop raining here :madman: I'm thinking about adding some colored accents. What color do you guys think would look better, green or orange?

Feel your pain with the rain. It's been raining here and is now cold again.
Nice looking ride. How do you like the flows on that. Was thinking overkill, but probably lighter than what comes on it, and nice and strong.
I agree with dje31, that another colour might be too much. Depends on what parts you're thinking about. Ano blue would probably look good.

They are most definitely overkill. They were the only wheels I had though, and they are better than the stock wheels. It weighs about 26#s right now. I think I just want some colored grips.

Quick question for my fellow spark owners running a 1x setup...

When you remove the front derailleur do most of you remove the mounts completely, or do you leave the mount sans-derailleur on the frame? I took mine off last weekend but was torn as to whether there was any reason that I should leave it attached?
