I was so pleased with the feel of the steel frame on my Kona Firemountain, after years of riding aluminium hardtails that I decided to go for a new fangled steel hardtail. The Voodoo frame came up cheapish and the original plan was to use the parts off my Orange EVO 2 on the build. Plans went awry, the credit card appeared and eventually the only things used off the Orange in the end were the front and rear derailleur and stem cap. The Rebas came off my Commencal Supernormal (now sold) I already had a spare XT cassette and white magnesium pedals and carbon bars. It's not 100% finished as I'm awaiting some white bar end caps.
I'm particular pleased with the wheels - Bontrager X lite I picked up of ebay for a third of new list price. A NOS stock pair of Z-Max WCS are currently on there. I've also got a NOS set of Cream wildgrippers thanks to the folks on here- unfortunately they seem to weigh a ton compared to the Z-Max's
It's pretty light 25 1/2 pounds - same as my Cannondale scalpel.
Just need to lose some weight myself!
