I have decided to re-build my SS using a different frame. I got a Zion 853 from MMcG with a Ringle headset, so I'm building it around that frame.
I'm putting disc brakes on this one, using Magura Louise brakes I had lying around.
A Manitou Black Elite that came from my Cake is going on the front. 120mm of travel.
Nashbar SS Disc hub for the rear, and a Formula disc hub for the front.
The stem pictured is only to hold the fork on, the stem I'm going to use is coming from my old SS. I haven't decided if I'm going to buy new cranks, or use the old ones.
I've ordered black Alex D-17 rims to lace to the hubs. I wanted red pimpin' rims to go with the red pimpin' headset, but I couldn't find a matching set. The front hub is 32 hole, and the rear is 36 hole.
I'll keep posting as I build.
