Hey people!
I've been collecting all the necessary parts for this build but in the end I'm not sure I'm going to finish it... I've found another bike that I find a bit more interesting for now. I'm not convinced yet and because I have neither space nor unlimited funds, I would like to know what my bike is worth first.
It's a 1996 Voodoo Bizango, built in Tange Prestige Ultimate Superlight steel. As far as I have been able to research and mentioning our friend @konaman1:
“I'd wanted one ever since finding out about the original VooDoo's excellent pedigree mostly from Anthony's posts. These were made in Chico, California in the Mountain Goat factory by Jeff Lindsay at the same time he was welding up the Hots and Ku's for Kona. VooDoo was Joe Murrays brainchild and his next move after leaving Kona. So essentially this was Joes design progression whereas Kona stuck with the '94 design for years after Joe left. Built from Tange Ultimate Superlight tubing and having really neat details like the snake stays, recessed head tube and super cool Ritchey hooded drop outs the Bizango was the top steel frame in the range.”
Fork: Kona P2 850ish grams (mid90s)
Headset: Hope threadless 1 1/8 silver (mid-late90s)
Seatclamp: Hope silver (modern)
