Just finished this build. It is an exact duplicate of my first bike BITD. You will notice some "evolutionary" parts as I acquired the next-years parts, so not everything is authentic to the original year of the frame. But my intent was to put it together as I had it.
ENJOY !!
Grocery List of Parts
[*]Re-powdered frame
NOS Race Inc. forks
NOS Race Inc. bars
NOS Tange MX headset
Used square-corner Tuf-Neck (one of the FEW things that I had left from the original)
NOS Oakley .5's
NOS Cal-Lite stem pad
NOS Dia-Compe MX brake lever
NOS Dia-Compe cable
NOS Dia-Compe MX-1000 rear brake lever
Lightly used Tuff-Pads
NOS Black tie-wraps to hold the cable--
NOS Suntour seat post
NOS generic fluted seatpost
NOS Kashimax Aero
NOS Comp IV front
NOS generic Snakebelly rear
'05 Repro Tuff II's (YES -- the color IS different than the '06s)

[/list]
The only thing that I really strayed from my original was the rear frame savers. I spent a TON of time minting those out, and wanted to keep it that way !
PLEASE excuse my amateur attempt at photograpy and background settings ....
