My '96 Hoodoo. Most fun bike I've ridden, I love this thing.

Just been out on an urban Autumnal on my Voodoo Bizango
Thought another Voodoo fan out there might like to see it
Any ideas for which year it might be?
It’s metallic aubergine, 853. Usual Ritchey drops outs. I’ve never seen another like it.
I bought it in 2004 from a mechanic who had it built up from the frame.
Early Halfords era perhaps?

Got this as a frame a few months back as trades from a friend. Finally sorting out the parts for it and only part I had to buy was the rear wheel which has the wrong rim so checking with a couple of the guys I trade with to see if they may have it. Full XTR M95X build due to it maybe being a last year model. Saddle, fork and wheelset are placeholders until I find stuff that work with the colors.

I think a 2000 model.

Slowest build ever but nearly there. Put some new tyres on, Hope stem and TB P2's. Going for the 90's lairy look!

Sad to sell it but happy that the frame found a good new owner. Looking forward to see it being build!

I've just noticed that some of the Bizango frames on here have a braze-on on the back of the seat tube for a top pull mech - Robrouleaux's bike on p1 for instance. Others don't. Like mine. Everything else looks the same. Does anyone know more? I read that the frames were originally welded up in Japan then moved.

I worked at VooDoo for a few months in early 1997. The ‘96 Bizango frames were the nice ones produced by Toyo of Japan. A little heavier than claimed, but absolutely straight out of the box with perfectly brazed joints for the cantilever studs, cable stops and stay bridges. The next year, all the hardtails save for the D’jab were made at Altitude Cycles in Chico, California. Quality was…uneven.

Did the braze ons change then? If so which is which? Or did they simply do both as the mood took them? Any Voodoo gurus out there know more about Bizango and Voodoo history?

I just picked up a 1996/7? Bizango. Paint has held up well. Needs better parts

It seems the 1996 Bizango had the down tube stop. In the 1997 catalogue, the stop has moved to the seat tube .. although the frame looks otherwise identical
