I need to get this bike built!

THE KULA DELUX 2-9

I Need to get this bike built up and I need some help. I pretty much know what I want to put on it in terms of parts but he fork is a tough one.
There is alot more to consider with the 29er geometry, we know that a standard offset fork will not be good...so what do I do. who out there has a 29er and what are you running?

AINT SHE PURRRRDY

So the build:
SRAM X0 all the way around with grip shift
King headset
WTB Laser disk 29er wheel set, w/ nano raptor tires
Formula Oro disk brakes
FSA 2x9 crank, 44x29
Jagwire der housing, ORANGE
Fizik poggio saddle, orange, in top pic
FSA Flat carbon bars
FSA 99 stem
Thompson elite w/ setback seat post.

I would like to run a Rock Shock fork, cuz i like the folks at SRAM, and all the mechanics at the shop I work at hate the rock shock(dont ask me why, all we ever repair are FOX)

But I am open to your advice. So hit me!

crushing downieville

I dont know what happened, but these photos are all out of order. So story first:
Hollie and I headed up to Downieville this morning. There is all this hype about D-ville, I have never got it, but I am slow, so we went to check it out. Oh, we were the only people who DID NOT SHUTTLE. We rode to Sierra City to get on the trail, that adds 12 miles, and we actually rode up the trail all the way to packers saddle. Everyone else gets in a van and drives to packer. What is up with that? Oh right, its all down hill from packers. From Downieville to packers you gain 5000 ft elevation. Its awesome, its hard, its beautiful...its worth the ride. The other d-ville rule we broke, we rode hard tails. We were the only ones on hard tails, but we were blowing by these guys with 8" travel bikes with sooo much armor on they could have been at the nights of the round table.
What ever! It was still a ton of fun, here are some pics

Hard Tail Hollie, V-brakes too

And She Navigates!

Good Times!

And there they rest, all cleaned up, our KONA Kula Supremes. Sweet rigs! D-ville worthy.
