Looks pretty pimp specs, what travel are the Talas? You might want to get a bit more money together and get a set of 36's or something so it would suit DH/FR a bit better.

Sounds really really nice though.

sounds like a pretty sick specs list
i am also in the process of building up a new bike but mine is all ordered now im and waiting

i wanted profile hhubs but because i was on a budget i couldnt get them
i didnt think they would be as expensive as they were
rear ss hub was 680 RRP
front 20 mil axle with no disc mounts was 390 RRP

i ended up getting NPJ hubs instead

good luck mate

I thought about 36s but i think that they might be a bit big and bulky. and i can get the Talas of a mate real cheap.
keep the replys coming

and i would get protaper bars

Stay 26's. I've seen a guy on farkin have a set of 36's on an STP i think, and he did really really well in a BMX comp. Apparently, they're light as. I can't say as i've never ridden a set.

Not thinking about Argyle 318's? I've heard nothing but praise from people from all ends of the HT disciplines.

it sounds ok but can u pay for it and do you like it your self its good to get advice but your riding the bike no one else is riding it so do what you think is right and stick to it because you have got to ride it.:):):):)
