The parts start to come together... (pics)

Just wheels for now. Assuming I can get that front disc brake to work, I
should have a completed bike shot up sometime tomorrow! Probably at night
after it gets too dark to ride without lights ;)

Wheels:

Closeup of rim (check out the funky finish... I ordered the all black ones,
but we had these in stock, and they're definitely unique)

Hub/Cassette/Disc, a bit blurry (no pun intended) though.

Wheels are VXC, DT 14/15/14, WTB Laser Disc Lite. They're pretty freakin'
light, hopefully the hubs will hold up. I probably sacrificed 30 grams or
so for the cool finish on the rims, but who cares?

Not bad. Now, get a Stan's rimstrip and some sealant and run whatever tires
(IRC Seracs) you were going to in tubeless fashion. Your not a dedicated XC
racer unless you go that route (apparently).
