That's sweet. I bought a bike and by the time I am done not much will be stock.

I put one together out of spare parts for my Nephew...

and then I test rode the *beep* out of it at Bent Creek..

Hey Jerry, How about a full speed test ride down Green's Lick?

Not with that seriously under spung/under damped Manitou :shock:

It was scary enough coming down Upper Explorer.

Dude, that Ventana is awesome, very nice looking bike build ! Love the VooDoo, too !

I'm in the process of gathering parts for a winter bike build, almost have everything I need. It will be a 1 x 9.
I will post a picture when I'm finished. It's a '95 Nuke Proof Ti race frame (yes, one made in Grand Rapids).

Wheels - Nuke Proof carbon hubs with some Matrix rims
Fork - Origin 8 carbon fork with canti mounts.
Headset, stem, handlebar (Next carbon) grips and single ring crank all RaceFace.
XT shifter, derailleur and V-brakes, Sram PC990 cassette
Control Tech seatpost
Avocet 02 Ti rail saddle

I'm going to be build it up at Sweet Bikes in the near future.

I'm excited to get this bike rolling and on the trails

I did. whole thing under $400. shown without the new avid BB7 disc brakes now on the bike and included in the price. new seat post, bottom bracket,hubs, headset, hand built wheels (by me), and cables and grips. 27lbs size large.

ibisman, what kind of frame is that ? Super cheap build. I'm going to have about $1100 into mine when I'm done.

I did, first one ever...turns out it may be the heaviest XC bike on the planet too @ 30.6#....swapped out the wheels and shed over 2#!

I am liking that theme you have going on. Wheels and seat along with the hubs look good on there.

Since you opted for a 2x you should be good to go for ORAMM this July..

by **SANTA_CRUZ** » February 8th, 2012, 5:36 pm

What's ORAMM ?
Just read the review on this years Santa Cruz Tall Boy aluminum in the new Dirt Rag
and it is a similar shade of blue to the Ventana.
