This bike is from one of the return customer below. Dan had upgraded his old Ventana Marble Peak FS as much as possible. Then realized he wanted more...He wanted a new rear shock, and to be able to run disc brakes. Basically move to the more modern bike. He had actually called Ventana directly a few times and talked to Sherwood (the owner Ventana Bikes USA) and found out that Ventana offers a no questions upgrade/crash replacement program of 30% off any new frame. Realizing that his old frame would require him to drop some more $$ and that the angles and design of the older frame (1997 frame) was very different and would never handle the way a newer frame designed around 100mm forks would. He made the call to get a new frame. Even though the old fame was in great shape.

We worked on the bike swapping old parts like the cranks, seat post and saddle over to the new frame, as well as installing the new Reba Fork, Avid Juicy 7 Disc brakes and DT Swiss 240 Wheel set. He also upgrades his drive train to the newer SRAM X.0 stuff. This bike came with the stock powder coating color of Electric Super Dust, which is a nice deep charcoal gray with colored metal flakes in the paint. Very hard to get a good photo of that...sorry.
