think that covers it. i had a bunch of the parts around as "extras" from past experiments. got the frame and cranks at cambriabike.com for a great price.
rode it sunday for the first time. got a few 3-4 foot drops to flat w/o any problems. pedals well. at 6'1" i get full leg extension. not too fond of the pedals (too small and the bearings are shot). think a shorter stem might be in order too.

i won the stem in a giveaway. i hate the feel of long stems, the seem so twitchy. i am accustomed to riding on bikes w/ short stems and wide bars. it felt weird when the trail got steep or rocky.
