Fuji DSR 2.0 Build Complete

The build of my Fuji DSR 2.0 C7 Carbon Fiber Full Suspension MTB has been completed.  The Maxxis Aspen 2.1 tires and Formula R1 hydraulic brakes were installed yesterday evening and a maiden voyage completed this morning.  And while the ride this AM (started @05:45) was mostly greenway (asphalt) I did get to do a short section of singletrack.  

The bike performed amazingly from my perspective and the reduced weight and superior drive train allowed me to handle climbs like I had never done before.  Also I greatly underestimated the power of hydraulic brakes and will never go back to mech brakes again.  I did use the poploc for the front fork on the green way and am please to never deal with a front derailleur again!

At this point I see no additional upgrades in the immediate future.  But I am considering a 700mm riser handle bar instead of the 620mm flat I currently have and further down the line a rear shock with lockout abilities.

I hope to get on some more real singletrack this week and will provides updates as well.
