Ay up.
Just got hold of a 2006 Kona stinky primo frame with a Fox DHX 5 rear shock and a Race Face diabolus crankset. I have a 2007 Race Face Diabolus HEadset to fit also. Will also be fitting my Hope M4 disc brake setup, and have built up rims etc from my old bike. Will also be fitting my Boxxer forks, again from my old bike.
Need help in knowing what other parts to get that will be compatable. I will need:
stem
bars
shifters (there are 2 chainrings and I have 8spd cassette at the rear)
seat post
seat
chain
pedals
Need advice as to what to get, e.g. are there specific shifters for 2 chainrings? as much advice as poss please and don't be afraid to offend me by stating the obvious - I wont be offended
Cheers all, ald if anyone has any good quality bits that will do let me know

stem what length/size do you want
bars what rise/length and needs to fit stem
shifters (there are 2 chainrings and I have 8spd cassette at the rear) nope just use a normal one and set the stops for 2 rings
seat post any that fits the frame maybe look at a telescopic one
seat again a nice comfortable one.
chain Sram 8 spd
pedals Flats like slim jims.

Given, as above, you know the size of everything you want, might as well finish off with raceface stuff. Seat is personal preference, chain definitely a SRAM, shifters (if Shimano mech) Alivio.0
