After work today I tore down the VooDoo Dambala<\/a> and cleaning the parts for assembly on the Salsa El Mariachi<\/a> frame. After the parts were disassembled and cleaned, after another five hours passed (including a break for dinner) this pile of parts<\/a> turned into the bike you see above.

I’m still waiting for another Carnegie’s Bar<\/a> to arrive from the UK for this bike, but in the mean time it should do just fine with the FSA CarbonPro that had graced the VooDoo<\/a>. There’s also going to be a bit more fiddling to do to get the saddle position right, but I think everything in a good starting place for now. With any luck I’ll be able to get out to Stony Creek tomorrow and try it out.<\/p>\n

I’m really happy with how the look of the bike came out as well. Without really trying I ended up hitting a blue\/shades-of-grey color scheme.
