OK, this is a cross-post from another site, but I'm just too excited to contain myself.
Man, I can't concentrate on work today. Maybe it's that I didn't take my Ritalin and I'm having an ADHD moment, maybe it's that the sun is shining with blue skies and a nice breeze. Maybe it's that white Santa Cruz Blur strapped and locked in the bed of my truck.
Since I sold my gold V10 and I'm waiting for my new white monocoque V10 to be delivered, I've been missing out on my VPP fix lately. Yesterday at about 5pm I could wait no longer. I had to have a white Santa Cruz VPP bike. Hanging right in front of me was a white Blur frame. It was used, but in pimp condition. I had to have it. I bought it. I built it. I am riding it this afternoon. Build as follows:
White Santa Cruz Blur
Fox AVA (soon to be PUSH'ed) shock
Chris King headset
Marzocchi Marathon S 100mm fork
Hope Mini hydro disc brakes
WTB Laser Disc Lite hubs laced with DT Revo 15/17/15 spokes to 317 rims
Thomson Seatpost
Thomson stem
XTR rear der (soon to be SRAM X.0?)
XT front der and shifters (soon to be SRAM X.9 triggers?)
XTR cassette
WTB Rocket V Stealth Ti saddle
Yeti Hardcore grips
Salsa seat collar and skewers
Maxxis Larsen TT eXCeption 2.0 tires (changing out soon for 2.35 for more meat)
Jefe's Pimp Juice (better than Stan's)
Azonic CF-1 carbon fiber riser bar
Truvativ Gigapipe Team SL BB
Truvativ Stylo Team cranks
CrankBrothers Candy SL pedals
I blew off my date last night to build this bike. Big thanks to Sgt Brown for spending the time last night to build it with me.
:love:
