Hi everybody,
I'm currently on the very verge of buying a 5-Spot myself (most probably next week) and I thought it would be nice to have this "data base" of all the Spots people in the forum had, so we could enjoy ourselves at the many personalities this wonderful frame could have.
It could also help people wondering how to setup their Spot frames (I pondered the "right" setup for me for about 4 weeks!) based on trued and tested setups for specific purposes.
I think we could start by briefly describing the main purpose which we give to our enjoyment of the bike, along with a brief description of the terrain we usually ride.
* Main purpose: agressive XC, extreme trail riding, epic rides, etc...
* Trail terrain: baby head rocky trail, smooth singletrack, paved+gravel, ...
Then we could list the bike setup:
* Frame Size & Color:
* Fork:
* Brakes:
* Cranks:
* Front Derailleur:
* Rear Derailleur:
* Pedals:
* Stem:
* Handlebar:
* Seatpost:
* Saddle:
* Bottom Bracket:
* Cassette:
* Headset:
* Grips:
* Front Tire:
* Front Rim:
* Front Hub/Skewer:
* Rear Tire:
* Rear Rim:
* Rear Hub/Skewer:
Please also add future changes you would do to this setup and the reasoning behind it.
Please post your setups. Pictures would be nice!
Enjoy the trail!!!
