The front hose is fine. The rear hose is too long actually.
The bike didn't have tie-wraps in the photo...

er, driving....not diving...lol

It's hard to say how much this is really costing me. I didn't pay for the frame (it's a warranty replacement) and the fork, and wheels are off my old '06 Aline. The shock, crank & chain guide were changed mid last season, and if you look at the note on my profile page, all the '08 parts that are being changed right now, are costing me approx $1500.

But I do know that the cheapest way to upgrade a bike is to do it when you buy the bike. Most shops will remove the value of the parts being changed. (ie: if the crank the bike comes with is worth $100, and the crank you want to put on the bike is $200, they will only charge you the difference of $100)

Hope this helps...

Just check out the note on my profile page for complete specs.

Thank you. It's still a work in progress. Just wait until the new parts are installed. Then it'll be a whole lot nicer.

It's getting there. Just new to pick up the new parts and get rid of all this crappy snow !!!!!
