I've built my first bicycle...

azoomm · 09-14-2011, 12:59 AM

With the help of Lennard Zinn and my husband. He's been into this long before we ever met. We've just been distracted with motors, and he thought he would get me into mountain bikes. So, with his tools - I built my first bicycle.

2011 Voodoo Zobop full-suspension frame

Fox 32series fork

Truvativ bottom bracket, bars and stem.

Cane Creek headset

Raceface crank set and seatpost

Selle Diva seat

Crank Brothers Cobalt xc race twinspoke wheels

SRAM X9 rear derailer and shifter

Hayes Stroker master cylinders and disk brakes

And, for the fun of it - what other rotor do you put on a voodoo but these??

Complete bike:

I'm just waiting on a bracket for the rear brake then it's riding time...

I was just about to ask you if you were done with it yet.
That's one great looking machine... almost too pretty to toss down a rocky, dusty trail

Looks nice.

I don't knowing shit about mountain bikes, so....

Are we talking 900SS money or are we talking 848 money?

900SS. If you're gonna build a bike, that's how to do it.

Shit, I couldn't afford the pedals, much less the frame.

What's the final weigh-in?

Nice bike. However, I hate your fucking valves.

I'm in love. My husband stole my original fork, he put it on his bike

so he made up for it.

Weight? 36lbs

Since I've been out of bikes a while and I'm looking w/ my phone,

Is that a single ft sprocket? If so then it's a downhill orientated bike? But them you have xc wheels???

While very cool looking I wouldn't think they would hold up. Last set of wheels I bought we're mavic crossmax's

I ran raceface cranks too, I was more into syncros and chris king

I was at the bike store this weekend buying charlie a balance bike and it's amazing the bike you can but for $1000 nowadays

36 lbs - schweet.

Are those Atac clipless you have (I am looking at tiny pics too)?

That is one of the most beautiful two wheeled contraptions I've ever laid eyes on. Absolutely gorgeous.
