Hi all and thanks for welcoming me to the site.
I am new to Mountain biking as my hobby has always been the VW MK1 Golf scene, well that was untill the missus said i need a cheaper hobby. I sold the cars and started what she thought would be a cheap replacement.
I am away with work at the moment (Army) so cant get to build the bike as quick as I would like but will be home soon.
As i said i am new to this so a little advice would be greatfull. Here is were I am, I have an ON-One Inbred Frame with Race face Atlas Bottom Bracket and Crank, but I have no idea what forks will work best with the type of rides you guys do. Also brakes. I was also thinking of using a 1x9 set up but will I be putting to much work on my legs, then there what size cog to use and rear mech/derailer.
Building 30 year old Golfs seem a whole lot easyer.
ounce its on the road i will be joining you guys for the "Newbie" ride.
