Here's Mike's Aizan getting a little TLC from the handy wrenches at Gran Trail Makati. Mike is suffering from the early symptoms of upgraditis, but we expect it to become a full-blown case soon enough. No doubt the Aizan and Rock Shox Reba are a solid pairing to build on. Mike runs a Kenda SB8 on the rear to provide drive traction, while the always-dependable Nevegal takes care of directional duties up front. Other build details include:

Truvativ Stylo crank
SRAM x9 fd/rd/shifters
SRAM x0 cassette
Avid juicy 7 brakes with alligator rotors
easton monkeylite xc handle bar
easton ea70 seatpost
mortop headset

- still waiting for the ea70 stem to arrive
- wheelset will be upgraded soon!


Ride on!
