Heres my bike... Many have probably seen it on MTBE but thought i'd put it up here aswell...
Basically, i've spent quite alot of money changing pretty much everything on the bike. The only stock parts are: Frame, Wheelset, Brakes, Seatclamp, Headset Cups, Rear QR!! Everything else has been slowly upgraded. My last big change was converting from the 3x9 set up to 1x10.
I really do love the bike, its a great little ride! Since i've been riding my new fixie, I've started to appreciate this bike abit more now. It is very capable, and i love the way it handles. I feel like im sat in the bike, not on top of it. I've now got it set up pretty much perfectly, and it is real fun to ride. However, i wouldn't mind going to something with abit more travel, because it sometimes lacks ability when the going gets rough... Its served me very well, and now, with the upgrades, i really do enjoy riding it!

what BB it comes with if i may ask?
I've seen some good Hardrock Builds on the interweb, i think its due to the decent frame which is a good base to start with! I didnt really look at many bikes before buying (yes, i was a total noob) but i spotted a 2011 Hardrock in my LBS and the guys gave a good load of detail on it.. Turns out the newer model had just been released so after having a look at it with them online, i decided it was the bike for me!
