I've put my order in on Cycle to Work Scheme. Sad to have to sell the El Guapo, but that will free up some funds for moving into new home.
Cannot wait. New house, new bike. Had a bit of a test ride and the bike was like nothing I've ever ridden. Unbelievably planted, odd geomertary.
I have some really good quality parts I've been saving, my question is do I put them on the 901?
I've got XTR Cranks, 1x10 set up, XT Mech, Zee Shifter with One Up 42T Chainring. Easton Haven Carbon Bars.
What would you do?

Haven't you just answered your own question?
If you are that pleased with the bike ...give it a treat ..what are you saving them for anyway ?
If I had them it would be all about the right here and now !
So my answer would be yes !
Good luck with the move too!

Does the bike 'need' the upgrading? Or do you just want to tinker for the sake of it?
Because if it's either of these, go for it.

Bit of both, I love a tinker. The reason I've saved the high spec drivechain parts is because the reviews of the 901 say everythings bang on apart from the drivechain.

For the sake of it !!!!!! it's the law you must tinker ffs - you can't ride a bike that's the same as others. You must feed the 'upgrading for no particular reason' industry. |

The 901 frame is well worth it, so I'd say yes for sure. The geometry is absolutely spot on, with just enough compliance from the rear end. I loved my 909. Light enough to fly up the hills but still went downhill like a proper bike should, not at all flighty like an XC race bike.
