    Ugh. I haven't ridden in months. Friday I completed a 19 day
    work binge. Uggh! So I spent most of yesterday keeping my
    couch warm. This morning I forced myself to go ride. Okay,
    so it was an easy 14.5 mile road ride, but the mental
    therapy was desperately needed. Oooh, that felt good...

    I sold my K2 trail bike to help fund the new ride. Building
    this myself. I went with a '04 SC Heckler frame with 5th E
    shock (sorry JD). Built the wheels, also. That was a fun
    learning experience. Just had my LBS order the fork, should
    be here about the same time as the frame. Decided to go with
    a Marz Z1 FR ETA QR20. Now I just need brakes, crankset,
    shifters. Thinking of going SRAM.

    Well, I'd keep going but I'm still exhausted from that
    extended work week. Later.

    I just recently got a Heckler with a 5th Element rear shock
    also. I've been having a great time with the bike, you will
    enjoy it once to get back to riding.

    Just wondering. How much will cost you this bike? I don't
    believe building a bike would cost less than buying one, but
    I'm sure that you can have exactly what you want.

    All of the bikes we have built have come in cheaper than
    buying one already built. If you do the research, you can
    find things cheaper in order to build the bike.

    Still have my Kona Stinky for FR/DH (I stink at both), but
    at 38 lbs it's a bit tough for the normal rides here in the
    Pacific North Wet. Everything up then down. Still waiting
    for those Arturo Fuente's and cognac...

    I'm looking forward to playing with the 5th. That will be a
    new experience for
    me. I'm used to riding a basic Noleen or Fox Vanilla shock.

    Still got yer Bullit?

    Do you think that you can come up with a new question to ask
    me? Or is that your default signature?

    Roughly around $3000, including taxes and shipping. About
    the same as what the LBS I'm buying the frame from asks for
    a built bike. I can't afford to go with everything I want,
    so I have to skimp here to fund there... etc. But I get to
    pick the most important (at least to me) stuff. I can always
    upgrade the seatpost later.

    Yes, I still have. It is scheduled for an overhaul on
    components when I get a chance to work on it.

    You referred to me, kid. Or is that your default leg-hump?
