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!

Hey man,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that I stumbled across your blog after ordering the Motobecane Pro 29 last night, and I'm loving the site.
I'd love to see more pictures of the new setup, how you're liking the new frame, etc. Been quite a few months since you posted about the bike!
Love the frame and the bike. Rides great! Unfortunately, or fortunately, just as I got everything tuned up I got super busy at work. I haven't ridden in months. I feel badly for the bike..
