It will be a Foshizzle-esque budget build:

XO/X9 drivetrain
Thomson stem
FSA carbon 31.8 bars
gravity dropper
I9 / stans flow wheels
fox talas 36
ccdb - ti spring
wtb saddle
big betty tires
hope moto brakes

there was a budget - keep it under the cost of a new car. Most parts were acquired at less than retail or reused from the previous build.

I never knew there was a difference. They've always looked so much the same! I guess the only difference between the two brands is that one of them tends to break a lot and customer service is really poor.

Um, I think the only difference is the customer service.

During my ells ownership years I got great service. There are some nightmare tales out there, but how much of it is true is hard to tell.
