hey, I'm acquiring my first fr/dh bike from a friend and am needing help on some parts.
I'm wanting this to be budget, yet the parts have to be strong as I'm 190lb with almost no style.

heres what I'm getting from him:
frame: sc bullit
fork: marzocchi 66
stem, seat & seat post: not sure of brand
and bars: dirty 30's

a bike shop here has some mavic en 321 wheels that ill most likely buy and I have some maxxis minon tires.

I'm needing to get
cranks: no idea
drive train: used x9 derailleur and some cheep shifter?
brakes: used jucy7's?
what am I missing?

any advice would be grate...

Headset? Cassette? Cables? Housing? Grips? Rear shock? Pedals? Rimstrips? Tubes? Chain?

For cranks, check out the dual ring Shimano Hones or the SLX cranks with the pedal inserts.
thanks ill look into the hones. The headset, grips, gear shock all come with it and i have the pedals all ready, but what housing?
