bling! bling!

I've been amassing bling for awhile now....as I'm waiting my hardtail frame to be built.

blingage

Most recently scored a set of red magura marta sls off of www.steepandcheap.com.

Now I know the red doesn't really go with my 'orange and white' color scheme but it will have to do. ;)

I hoping with all the light weight parts the bike will weigh in ~21lbs or less. (a girl can dream!) Plus - I'm hoping to drop 3lbs on me to get back to my 'fighting weight' of 105...yeah...yeah - too many treats this off season and too much standing around playing pool. :(

blingage list:

• sweet lightweight Specialized Roval Controle E5 wheelset
• sram x.o grip shifters
• magura marta sls (red)
• crank bros 2 ti pedals (orange and white)
• crank bros direct headset (orange)
• crank bros split quick release skewers (orange)
• ergon carbon grips/bar ends
• xtr crankset (to be snagged off current hardtail as it gets converted over to a fixie)
• sram x.o front and rear derailluers(to be snagged off current hardtail as it gets converted over to a fixie)
• black sheep ti seat post and handlebar
• black sheep ti hardtail frame :D
• fizik seat (orange and white - on order from fizik)
• thompson stem
• oh and a Fox RLC 100mm fork (buying from a friend that is switching over to a 29er )
  
• and finally - orange end caps and value stem covers (on order)

I'm happy to say that I've gotten pretty much all the parts for half-off the msrp in most cases - sometimes more than that. mucho thanks to Team Evergreen's pro-deals and such. And also every year my Mom gives me an Excel Sports gift certificate so that bought the x.o shifters. So amazingly this bike is costing me WAY less than my Blacksheep SS I built up 2 years ago.
