Fuck shifting


SO I wanted to build a sick single speed, and I used my Bontrager to do so, this and the previous post have some good pics of it. I got this bike new in 95 or 96, from University Bicycles in Boulder Co where I worked when I was a middle school kid. 
ENO rear hub, want the front to match at some point
17 tooth rear sexness of WI rear freewheel EPP from REI thank you very much (Never pay retail!!)
new ENO Cranks!! Got them blacked out with a 34 tooth chain ring for the flat lands out here.
Finally went tubeless, good shit too, can run much lower pressure on these even as a fat kid 
Here she is so far. the following list is what I want to upgrade..

Bars, have no name BS bars, want something like the Monkey lite bars (with 30.something clasp)
Fork, have Judy SL, looking for 1 inch SID with longer steertube (email me if you have one)
stem want 140 carbon stem with larger clasp for new bars above.
Front Hub, Blacked out WI ENO Disc hub, XTR is hot but WI ENO matching hubs with front disc would be awesome.
Rear Hub, WI ENO Blacked out, non-flip-flop. Having a bike that can be fixed or free is cool, but it's a little weighty, and really I'd just convert my schwinn s-30 full suspension to the chrome one I have now with the XTR hub up front.... why not :)
