Nice one indeed, makes me want to get out and ride (just back in from a night ride)

First build I've seen in a long time with negative rise Carnegie's, nice touch. Though arguably you could reach the same fit with flat or riser ones and less spacers.

Which year is the frame please? I have a 2008 in 20" and this downtube looks a good size up in diamter by comparison.

Voodoo riders unite!
 
To be fair I've not dialled the fit in yet, I may still further shorten the steerer and reduce the spacers. I also may or may not flip the carnegies yet, they did not actually have any riser or flats in stock when I bought them. I figured I could always remove the labels and turn them over and noone would be any wiser :D

This is an eighteen (the biggest sunflowers are seven foot +), my assumption is this is a 2011 model but could potentially be a 2010 as I sourced it over the net here.

I do note that chiringuita's voodoo has a brace by the rear disc which I do not have....
 
As a DJab owner I just cannot figure out the geometry.

I originally set mine up with a 440mm Salsa Cromoto fork and that felt too tall.

Currently running a set of 100mm Reba Team forks with a fair bit of sag - feels better.

I have no idea how they would ride with the "full beans" 140mm travel fork :shock:

Nice bike BTW - must get some new pics of mine :oops:
 
Please note that the salsa Cromoto Grande comes with the increased offset for 29ers, it will feel different to running a long 26" fork.

Enjoy!!
 
There are four different models:

From 1995 to 1999, was manufactured in Taiwan by A-PRO Tech.

From 2008 to 2009, was made also by Hang Lu Sports. The sliding dropouts are different and has a brace by the rear disc (this is my frame). :roll:
