I have a dream.......

.....not really.

I do have a build idea that I'm thinking about. The girlscout picked up a sweet Voodoo frame a while back and just never really liked it. I built it up and rode it a little and I thought it was great.
Here's my plan,
Fork- Marzzochi All Moutain 1. Gotta have the ETA for the downhill.
Wheelset- Cane Creek Duros SG
Drivetrain- 1x9 Sram x9
Brakes - Avid Elixir5 in Pimp white
Seat Post- Thomson 410 setback
Bar and stem- FSA DH Riser/Truvativ stem.....both in white.
Grips- OURY lock on.

I don't know, I may change my mind in a few days but this seems like a good idea right now.

Hand-me-down frames from sons are cool.

Sounds like a fun bike. I was thinking of building up a hardtail to until I filed my taxes. Usually I get back a little, this year I paid (with earmarked bike funds). Hopefully later in the summer.

Not that they're terribly expensive new, but I have some oury lock ons I don't want anymore since I found grips I like better.

Thanks, but I already have some. Find some kid that's scraping stuff up for a bike and make his day.
