XC Dream Build on a Budget, For Myself

Watch the technical follow up, ride video where I talk about this restoration / build here: https://youtu.be/zxPdZ9JFwfg

In today's #dreambuild I have a cracked Turner Czar #mtb and we’re going to make it better. This time, the bike I’m building will be for myself. Due to some financial hardships, I’ve recently had to sell off my dream bike, so today’s build is my effort to build a budget replacement with which I can be happy, which is light enough to race, but which I will have spent as little possible money to build.

The other thing different on this build is that I will be attempting to use #cerakote to paint it. This was my first try with Cerakote and far from perfect. But I learned a lot and hope to improve next time.
