Just got a text message from Karen @ Bikes Plus- my Jet9 frame is set to ship from Niner on Monday next week! Woohoo!

I am wrapping up the decisions on the build up. It’s prettymuch gonna be SRAM-ed out:

Rock Shox Reba Fork
SRAM X0/x9 DRs & shifters (jury is still out on whether I want grip shift or trigger)
Truvativ Noir Crank (2 chainrings/bash guard)
Avid hydraulic brakes
Tires? Not sure yet. They’ll be set up tubeless, though.
Wheels- probably some hand-builts from lacemine29.com

Talk about your champagne taste on a beer budget! It’s gonna be a work in progress as I gather the necessary funds, but it will be absolutely perfect when I’m finished!
