1999 VooDoo Bokor
Part Diary, Part Technical Manual, Part Tips & Tricks

This is my wife's bike. Back in 1999, VooDoo was a very hot company in the cycling world. My parents went on a cruise and met a VooDoo employee in their accounting department. To make a long story short, we were able to buy a brand new bike from the factory in Silicon Valley at employee cost. The company had since gone away, but has recently returned. The VooDoo name and logos are the same, but the bikes are now manufactured in Taiwan instead of the US.

2007 - after sitting around for a few years, we decided to make the bike a little more comfortable to ride. I put on an adjustable stem and riser bars, so bring the front end up. I also put on some slick tires to give it a smoother, quieter ride on the pavement.
