[bstrick]

here is my new build, after a long time on the outside looking in.
i promise full specs when build is complete.
thanks for all the input - just focus on the hubs.

mango, mango, mango!

From "lurker" to "looker!"
Great looking machine you've got there. It's got to be fast without any brakes, heheh.
Anticipating a fine final build.

Love it... very nice bike. That mango is great.

I've been lurking too and just got my dambala frame last week.

In process of building it up currently. I think I'm going for a bit less fancy pants build.

Everybody loves Mango! Nice looking ride with the Pace fork. One question though, where did you find those radical transparent aluminum cog spacers?

[Cloxxki]

Aaaah, the bike does seem very MTBR-member specific built! That is a good thing. Great taste!

29"
steel
carbon rigid fork
singlespeed

6x "check! :-)

Tell us about the rims please? Weight and quality impression? tire fit?

You're gonna love that bike!

Beauty!

Is it my monitor, your camera, or has the Dambala changed shades of green just a bit? That looks a little softer than mine.

[bstrick]

enough with ball busting, i said full specs when "finished".

Nice build! The Mango headset destined for my Dos Niner arrived yesterday. It's Purrrrty!

[bstrick]

it's pretty damn funny that when i look @ my new bike that scene with garth brooks in the dressing room comes to mind. thanks for posting chris katan, my wife and i had this discussion when i first got the mangos. good luck finding any matching components, but atleast it looks great against the green.

Yeah, everything else is probably gonna be yer basic black. 'Cause black is the new - hey, wait...

[bstrick]

i did find some nice green salsa skewers, we'll see what else i can find because looking is half the fun!

[goneskiian]

Very nice!

I love the green and mango combo.

Did King just do another run of mango stuff? I've been trying to track some down for a LONG time. Oh well, going a different direction now...

Cheers!

Maybe consider flipping both stem and Bar, for around the same bar height, but better look and feel. That's what I would do anyways.

[bstrick]

do you mean stem right side up and upside down mary?

[edouble]

few bikes cut as mean a profile as a voodoo. they have something special about them, and you've maximized that effect.

[WarPigs]

Hi,
could you take a pic of the tire clearance at the seat and chainstay?

thanks

[bstrick]

yes, i'm runnin' 2.1 moto raptors and it appears to have plenty of room

[bstrick]

wow, i won't know until the maiden voyage but i have high hopes, thanks.

[Cloxxki]

do you mean stem right side up and upside down mary?

Yes. I would GUESS bar height would remain around the same.
Edit : a bit lower probably now that I give it more thought. 1.5" rise in the bar, 3" lower flip it. Stem is worth around half I woukd say. Do you need the bars that high? And the seat tilted that way? Are you mostly DH-oriented?

[bstrick]

not dh at all, just working out the kinks.
i guess the seat thing comes from my bmx days. it will level out more when i find the right bar/seat height.
