Wow, it's been awhile since my last update! Good news is that I am almost done with the bike!

I recently purchased from Pricepoint an X9 trigger shifter and rear derailleur combo. A great deal, and the parts look great!

I've got an XT front derailleur coming in the mail as I write this. It was supposed to be here two days ago, but I fear FEDEX lost the package. My phone number has been passed along to their "Trace Department", which sounds bad. I bought the front derailleur from Jenson USA.
Edit: FEDEX finally found my package, so now I have a front derailleur!

The only parts left to order:
*SRAM 990 cassette
*stem
*saddle
*grips
*rim tape
*chain

That should be it. I intend to have the Blur built up by June 10. Look for more pictures soon!
