Rob, believe it or not, this had to be a truly budget build (relatively speaking). I cant repeat the price but let me just say that it was a MAJOR, MAJOR bro-deal from my man Chad at Redbarnbicycles.
The part spec that will be coming, while not bling, is solid and will be perfect for STR shuttle days
Please note that I am still a girly man but at least now i will have something to handicap my riding so i wont embarass myself too much on the downs.frame - RFX anodized black, large, w/ DHX 5.0 Coil
fork - 2006 Marzocchi Z1 Light
headset - King black
stem - Deity (may be too short...but its white and will match the fork so i am gonna try it initially)
handlebar - Deity
shifters - Sram X7 twisters
Brakes - 2007 Magura Louise 210/190 rotors
seatpost - Thomson
saddle - WTB Pure V SLT
crankset - Shimano Hone 2-ring with bash
Pedals - Shimano 646
Chain - Sram PC951
Cassette - Sram PG950 11-34
f.derailleur - Shimano Deore
r.derailleur - Sram X7
wheelset - Hope Bulb rear, Hope Pro 2 front / DT 5.1 rims
tires - Panaracer Fire FR 2.4's
thanks man.....i really, really miss my X5. My first choice for this build was to use a used La Bruja frame, but could not track one down and boy did i try. The new Brujas are just gonna be too much. Plus, I really dig ano frames so that is cool too.

Stuck up, half witted...
Is that the last of the Turner haters? I mean, who's left?
Oh yeah, nice frame, Fo. Your build, while reasonably budget, looks sensible. I like that your putting decent money into the fork and wheels and everything else is mid end stuff. Good luck with the wife.
