I have scince started building it up slowly as the money comes in (apprenticship wages = shit).

Bars:sunline V1 bars
Grips: Sunline
Cranks: Hammerschmidt guide with front x-9 shifter(Best thing ever)
Shock: DHX 5 air
Brakes:Hayes hfx-9's (ordered this arvo Avid Elixir R's)
Derailleur: sram X-9 with X-9 shifter.
Chain:Shimano Durace

$750 for a brand new Demo frame? Thats awesome! How does it ride? I'd love to try out a new Vivid. I've just ordered a new spring from Mortdale too:p.
What sort of Boxxer's are you looking at getting? 2009 or the new 2010 models?
Sweet ride either way.

I havn't ridin it yet see the rear wheel for the picture is held in with a screw driver as i havn't made an axle yet at work. I can't buy anormal axle as i made the mistake of not checking my drop out size on the frame, the drop outs are 15mm and the hub is 12mm so i need to make some fancy axle at work. i was thinking maybe 2010 boxxers but i don't know if i want to spend the two grand on a set of forks.

How much do you need to upgrade on this bike? This may be a bit too far, but...

And as for two grand for the boxxer, thats only the world cup. I think your best option is going for the team. But what I would personally go for, the 2009 and before models. If you dont mind blue, a brand new Boxxer World Cup for $1299 is pretty damn good I think.
