i just finished my build and was going to wait and post glamor shots but the weather has been crap and i'm a lil bored so glamor shots come in the spring. the frame is a 2001 Gary Fisher Genesis series frame. i was lucky enough to get the old 22mm brake with the frame and did a Frankin-brake for the rear with a newer hayes hfx-9 lever and the old 22mm hayes brake, i was stoked to have the original brake and didn't have to use a lame adaptor. i had nearly everything laying around for the bike so my total cost has been around $145 for the SS kit, Pro by Shimano Bars, and a couple small parts to get her running. glamor pics to come in the spring. oh and for a budget build it weighs around 26lbs so i'm not complaining. i need to rebuild the fork tho it feels like poo after 5 years of sitting and no maintenance love since 2001.
EDIT: pictures to come as soon as i resize them. but links for them are: http://cid-62a8c1b79d496c12.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/random/P1010813.JPG http://cid-62a8c1b79d496c12.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/random/P1010814.JPG
