So far, you’ve surely heard a great deal of buzz about Steve Peat and Troy Brosnan’s custom bikes. To mix things up a bit, we stopped by the Syndicate pits for an in depth look at Greg Minnaar’s custom size XXL Santa Cruz V10.

.

Looks like a pretty standard FOX DHX2, but the orange RAD sticker indicates there are likely some custom internals in there.

Full width ENVE DH bar.

Gamut Direct mount stem at the shortest position. 45mm with a 10mm Ti-Springs.com riser plate.

Custom offset Chris King headset to buy a few extra millimeters of top tube length.

Custom 7 speed Shimano Saint block rolling on a Chris King hub.

Crank Brothers Mallet Pedals.

Shimano Saints with 200mm rotors are standard fare. This back one is looking a bit glazed over…Time for a freshie!

Saint Cranks and a Gamut chainguide.

Ergon GA2 grips with Shimano Saint Brake levers.

Even though it’s dusty, Greg is rocking a Marsh Guard on his Fox 40/

ENVE M90 Rims with custom decals

Speaking of custom decals – Minnaar is the Greatest Of All Time with more world cup wins than anyone. Can he win again here and become even more out of touch?
