Jabberwocky
Soooo, I am possibly going to purchase a Vassago Jabberwocky frame, two forks (rigid and suspension), and wheels from a friend for a reasonable price. However I need help as I am not sure what to run on it. I am most likely going to stick with single speed because I want to keep the cost under about $300. Anyone got some suggestions of parts? Bars, pedals, seatpost and non drive train components I can probably figure out just fine.
I am also considering Avid BB7 mountain disc brakes as I have BB7s on my touring bike and they work quite well and I really don't want to put a ton of money into this thing with hydraulics. If someone has suggestions to the contrary I am all ears.
For those unaware:
vassagocycles - JabberWocky
Thanks in advance!

Nice bike!! I am with you on the BB7 I have had years of hassle free braking on my mtb - easy to adjust and change pads etc. I use the Avid Speed Dial 7 levers and can fine tune the modulation and reach with them. I like the Race Face Single chain rings as they last a long time and I have had no issues with dropping chains with them. They are also reversible so you can extend the life a little more. Surly cogs are tough to beat and have a the wide base. Ashima AiRotor's and some semi metallic pads have been working well and help keep the rotating weight down and work great with the BB7's
