New DJ/DH rig build
I posted a while ago about getting a cheap Fuji Panic Pro frame. Build is now done
Specs:
'06 Fuji Panic Pro frame 16"
Kenda K-Rad 2.3 tires
IRD dual banger front mech disk brake
Tektro something or other rear brake
Hussefelt crankset, 38 T, Tru vativ gigapipe BB
Holzfeller DH stem and bars
Animal BMX pedals
KMS 1/8" single-speed chain
Getto rigged SS rear 18T
'08 Manitou Minute Comp fork 140mm, set to 120mm
action bikes infinte adjust seat post
Specialized indie BG 143 saddle
Iguana (?) wheelset. Shop had em laying around, cost me a case of beer. Will do for now, as I wanted disk and machined for rim brake.
Here are some pics
And my 'lil helper, runnign off with tools and whatnot every ten seconds
Tell me what you think. I know the minute is a AM fork, but its what i had from my other build. Think I may get a DJ 1, or something the like. I have the Stance that came with the frame, but it won't hold air, and bottoms out on the smallest hit. So far it has ridden well, and taken a beating with no issues.
Total price has been around $300. Frame and stance technically cost me $80, but it was really a trade of some road and fixed parts I had, and priced them at 80. $50 for the stem and bars from friend, 20 for pedals, 70 for front brake. 60 for crankset, 20 for chain, and a few more for new tools to replace the worn out BB and others. Also new TH industries headset. 40 for the tires and new tubes.
Now for the shamless plug.... Whites Bikes in westminster MD and the employees there are where this was purchased. Brad (owner) traded me the frame and one of the wrenches sold me the stem and bars. All things bought or ordered through shop. I don't work there, but might as well should. great place. Lets you use there tools and will help for the small cost of a six pack, or a pack of smokes. BB was given to me for helping replace a broken window. Great people, great place. Take care of them and they'll take care of you.

Still kicking.
Very nice, advice though...
When DJ'ing it, lower the fork to 100mm, it will make things easier.
