Re: You're the Man, 'Jim. Thanks.

But seriously, long time no see...been out of the scene for a bit bit just picked up a 199x Rockhopper. Dark burgundy/violet/black cherry, Biopace, m400 mostly w/STX rear mech. What year is this thing? Thought it was black/red decals in the advert, but pleasantly surprised by it's color and...

Re: Thanks....THINK I narrowed it to a 95 Cronus, though not very original anymore. You can barely make out the 'Cronus' decal by the rear cable stay on the top tube.....

Like it says, want to check this thing out today as i'll be in the neighborhood...whaz yr/trim is it? He says 1994, DX Group, Marzocchi fork but not much else...

Re: PS....Want it gone... :mrgreen:

Decided to unload some of my old stuff that's taking up too much room... And $OLD Among other tidbits are: (3) sets Dia-Compe brake levers(2 sets aren't shown but are in WAY better chape than those) Control Tech stem- threads are way ugly, started sading it for paint. Couple Shimano BB's...

Bought a set of CT Skewers. Easy transaction, quick shipping and safe packaging. Would deal with again.

^Yeah, after X-mas i'll order a 42t. BTW the brakes came yesterday. Now I can actually ride it. I'll have another update soon....

pm on xtr/517

Aye Aye aye...I will be running 3 rings as soon as I find a compact 42t cheaper than the GNP of Bolivia. What I ask is if the chain should 'ride' lower in the cage when it's sitting on the granny ring. Because when it's on the Middle ring, it looks like the chain will have no more room once...

That's the one...not to mention mine looked way better, and has been FS for weeks for 75% of that asking price. But it just sold like 2minutes ago anyway...GLWS OP.

I'm always on the lookout...... BTW i'm not done yet so don't mind the scraggly cable ends, no brakes, old-a$$ Ghost-edition Smart Sam's, etc..

Johannes helped me to close a deal on a Controltech seatpost with a German member on another forum. Very smooth transaction, and excellent communication between myself and the seller from the other forum. I have dealt with him before and I will deal with him again. :xmas-big-grin:
