I tried to build it up with parts from the same time period, most of the stuff I had laying around. I always thought the Profile mountain bike frames were cool.

•Marzocchi 2002 Bomber DJ fork
•FSA Pig headset
•Answer Alumilite bars
•NYC Freeride Blox stem
•Race Face lock-on grips with ODI End caps
•Avid BB7 brakes,165mm rotors, Avid SD 7 levers & KoolStop pads
•Profile cranks 175mm & 6" steel spindle, classic spider
•Blackspire 38t DH chainring
•E13 SRS chainguide
•Shimano LX cassette 11-32
•Shimano XT rear derailleur
•Sram PC59 chain
•Shimano XT shifter, no indicator
•Profile saddle
•Thomson seatpost w/ Atomlab clamp

I like the retroish, although it really isn't that retro, well cool "not new", "not old" bike, anyway

need to swap out the BLOX stem with an old school Azonic unit, then it'd be complete.

Man.........I mean..........it's just that..........and.........like.....WTF? 
Are you planning on opening a MTB museum? You and D-$ might be able to set something up between the two of ya's. You could call it the Super-Badass Bike Gallery.
Seriously, I die a little inside every time you guys post a bike.

were the BB7's around back in 2002?

I do have an old azonic stem, but the NYC just looked nicer.
I almost did go with a set of early Hayes purples, but the Avids were just easier to put on. To be really retro I could have put on the cable actuated Hayes hydrolics I have. They are the old style BB7s, I think they were around then.

you should make a single post of all of your bikes...that would be a really cool thing to see.
