Voodoo

Voodoo was started by Joe Murray. Murray was the first guy to really dominate NORBA racing in the States. He eventually started consulting with Kona, and then started his own company. You can see a lot of similarities between Konas and Voodoos. I think they're out of business now, which is too bad - they were nice bikes. [edit] voodoo lives on, they have a pretty complete line, a couple really cool bikes, and they're pretty cheap. it all sounds good to me.


D - Jab - Titanium is very cool. And titanium with XTR and Arch Supremes is very expensive...


Erzulie - A solid looking steel hardtail here. Good fork, I loved those Answer barends, but a Kore stem? You'll lose points for that...


Canzo - This is a beautifully finished bike. A titanium Canzo with a long-travel SID and those crazy green Micheins. Of course, the Canzo has the stigma of being a URT bike, which because of it's characteristics, somehow makes it less worthy. I'm willing to bet there are thousands of people enjoying bikes like this, and they either have no problems, or they just deal with it's idiosyncrasies.



Bizango - An excellent setup on this steel Voodoo. That, by the way is one of the reasons I liked Voodo - they held onto steel right to the end. Anyway, it looks like a great singletrack bike.


Bokor - Was this a calculated attempt to put together a bike that doesn't attract attention? Or just somebody who doesn't mind a plain looking bike...
