The New Build Is Complete

I finished the build of my new Voodoo Aizan 29er today. Everything is cleaned, tightened, greased, and aired up. The bike is light! I took a ride around the block and the first thing I noticed is that the top tube is pretty short for the large version of the bike. I can see how others complained about toe overlap on the smaller models. I got the 19" large when I typically ride about a 17". It makes a difference. I have a lot white on this bike including the white-spoked wheels, the new white fizik/gold saddle, and the white fox fork. I may live to regret that decision, but it looks really sharp. You'll also notice that I added a ti seatpost to go with the ti handlebar to reduce some weight. I'm anxious to see how the minimal seatpost performs. The bike seems ready to go on the trails. Now I just have to wait for the snow to disappear. Temps in the 60's this week should help with that. Enjoy the pics!

Can We Build It? Yes, We Can!

Since my last post, I've found just enough spare time to break down my Moto, clean up the Aizan frame, and begin putting some parts on the frame. I've installed the rear der, rear disc brake mount, seatpost, saddle, handlebars, levers, and fork. I'm waiting on a new bottom bracket to arrive, as my Moto bb was seized. When I get the new bb, I can install the crank and pedals. I'm also waiting for the new cables and white housing that I ordered to arrive. I can finish off the bike after I get that in.

Stay tuned!
