Thinkiong of building it a la Madcow kev style , drop bars and ergopowers , with campa mechs and chainset .
Forks could be Fimocco .

Make sure you use dirt drops though and not standard road bars (my mistake at first). Dirt drops give you a better position for offroad use and make the handling much better. Salsa Bell Laps are great!
