i'm into MTB, i have 2 totally custom bikes built from Wavecrest Electric Bike Frames. i'll get pics tomorrow, but the #1 most important thing i think is to get a stout frame that's extremely light. #2 would be good front/rear derailleurs and shifters (i use Shimano LX) #3 ...some really nice rims/hubs...i use Doublewalled Syncros hoops with Shimana Acera-X hubs. #4 Brakes! i don't like disc brakes much, one of my bikes has tektro linear pull w/ coolstop pads (the best ever), my other bike has shimano LX linear pulls w/ coolstops also #5 Fork. I have a chubby LT fork on my sexy bike and a Suntour SR Duro fork on my basher bike...without awesome forks, i'd be in bad shape.
