Dirt Disciple
Honestly have never bothered to search up the date on this bike. Had some rock shox judy forks on it. Got this bike from a buddy quite some time ago. I actually changed it up and made it into a training bike.

Now, the ONE unique thing about this design is it's an adjustable single speed. I use a rear der, just like if I were to be running gears. I took a shifter cable and cut the cable about 3 inches from the ball on the end of the cable, and pushed it through into the der and under the tab to tighten it. From there, I just use pliers and tighten or loosen the cable, and can set it on that cog and have it be fixed there. Works awsome. Got the idea off a forum awhile back. Can't remember. It's awsome for training. because I can "climb" gears. Each day dropping teeth on windsprint sessions and hill climb training.

Anyways, the bike is in pieces since I gave the forks to my buddy. Once I get some new forks I'll get an updated pic, and also get some pics of what I did on the der. (even tho it's pretty self explanatory.
