Had to do some cleaning out of the part's bins and use up some spares, but here is what came out.

I'm just going to give props to Voodoo for a really nice frame at a super cheap price.....oh and as always The Path for great service.

Something cool about the headset costing half as much as the frame.

that frame will be pretty long for you,
try and test ride a few bikes and take note of the TT lengths of the ones you like

personally i like small TT, i am 5'10" and ride smalls (see sig for bikes) i would guess you want something around a 21-21.5" actuall or 22-22.5" effective TT unless your goin for more of a trail bike. if you look back a page our 2 you'll see my HT it has about a 21.8" actuall tt and is great for jumping, short for trail riding. but like i said i like short bikes.

Hey edge how do you like the shango? How is the dropout system working out, and can you get full seat extension on it? How tall are you?

Thanks

Just update. NEw 26inch wheels,mtx camo rims with hope xc hubs, plus an e-13 guide. Rides nice!
not to diss ya man, but those rims are pretty ugly, and so is that butt-poking seat, but those rims are pretty original though, never seen camo rims...

nice... lose the fork and the cranks and you have a mad cikle..,
I should just get rid of the fork and the cranks? And then do what? Manual it around town, with my feet wrapped around the seat tube? :p

Looks nice, I had a trans-blue supercharger on mine for a little while too
The dark blue or the ice blue? I knew they had some ice blue ones go out, didn't see any eBay auctions for the trans blue ones (it's almost black if you don't have light shining through it).

That looks like a nice urban/DJ machine!

I don't really remember, I think it's the lighter one, it was given to me at Evil when I picked up the sovereign last may.
