Earlier today I purchased the parts pictured above to build up into my next bike. They are used, but this seems like a decent deal on what should become my next bike building project. I rather like my VooDoo Dambala<\/a>, but I’ve had my eye on the Salsa El Mariachi<\/a> frame for a while now, particularly because of the swinging dropouts. When a deal offering a slightly used frame, matching rigid fork, Rock Shox Reba suspension fork, and headset appeared on the MMBA forum in my size I jumped on them, and soon I hope to rebuild the VooDoo’s parts (including the new wheels that I built<\/a>) on to this frame.<\/p>\n

For a total of $730 I ended up getting the following parts:<\/p>\n

· Salsa El Mariachi Frame<\/a>, 18″ \/ medium; very well cared for (only one small scratch in the top tube).
\n· Salsa CroMoto Grande 29’er Fork<\/a>, a rigid fork designed to be used with the El Mariachi.
\n· Cane Creek 100 Headset<\/a>, a standard, high-quality cartridge bearing headset.
\n· Rock Shox Reba<\/a> Team 100mm travel fork, a perfect squishy fork for this frame.
\n· Bontrager Duster Wheelset
\n· 2009 SRAM X-9 Derailleur<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The price for the frame+forks+headset was $650, but I also ended up with the derailleur and a used wheel set (another $80) that I’ll put on the VooDoo before selling it. I’ve also got a set of Race Face<\/a> Deus cranks and bottom bracket en route via a super deal at Wickwerks<\/a>. I’ll be setting the rings aside for later use on the Titus<\/a> and using the cranks+bb along with parts from the VooDoo to build up the frame. I’ll then find parts for the VooDoo and build it into a bike to sell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
