Seems the season for deals, so I'm building the wife and I new bikes.
So far this is what we've got (her spec's in parenthesis where different from mine):
We're building them with a single front ring and with 9 speed cassettes. Not a singlespeed, nor a
true geared pig. Hardtails.
Have: Haro steel Singlespeed Werx frame [w/rear der hanger]. Hayes MAG XC hydraulic disk brakes.
XTR rear short cage der. Litespeed ti stem (Easton carbon for her). Marzocchi Bomber Marathon SL
'03 (Rock Shox SID Team '02 for her). WTB Rocket saddle. Titec seat post (Ritchey seat post). XT 9
spd cassette.
Still need: Easton Monkey Lite low-rise carbon bar (flat for her). Chris King headset. Time ATAC
carbon pedals.
In question: Cranks/Ring/BB - I'm thinking Race face Isis w/Isis bb. Probably a 34t singlespeed
ring... not sure which yet. Wheels - I'm thinking Mavic 517's with Chris king hubs or Shimano XTR -
depends on which I can get the better deal on when I'm ready to buy them.
Any opinions or suggestions on the cranks and wheels? Most everything else we either got very nice
deals on, already had the parts on hand or expect to get deals on.
