Redline Doo-Doo Brown Revival Part 2

Upgrade Rear Wheel
 Doo-Doo scrapped the old joytech, 360 degrees between engagement, bearing binding, hub laced to a cardboard WTB Speed Disc hoop from circa 1999, and called this old Bontrager Scandium wheel back up to the Big League.  Its tubeless, has decent engagement, and, aside from the gargantuan rear tire, its pretty light.
Rejuvenated
So far Doo-Doo has received the following treatments:
1) Suspension fork w/ lockout
2) Matching headset
3) Isis equipped crankset (its a step up from square taper?)
4) Upgraded rear wheel w/ quick release

Up next for Doo-Doo is a front wheel conversion to a tubeless system and new brakes (the Hayes HFX 9's were obsolete about a year before they came out, although mine work well, minus the sticky rear piston).

Stay tuned.
