Re: Re: Wow, bike is amazing, super nice work!

Re: Nice, those red hubs really tie it all together.

Re: Re: Thanks, it's an 18.5" frame, perfect fit.

Picked up this here mint condition Eldridge Grade last weekend off my local Craigslist for 60 bills. Deore LX everything right down to the hubs, cleaned up like new. I put on new tires, seat, grips, stem, bar ends and pedals. The guy had apparently rode it in some soft sand because it was all...

Awesome stuff man, your a great brother and that is a Rad bike, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful bike man, love me a Trek, I still have a few nice ones. In fact the nicest Mountain bikes I have ever owned have been Treks,... and I've had a bunch of them.

Re: Nice, I just rebuilt mine with the spring kit from Kronos, my elastomers were crap too, I had to dig them out. I also rebuilt my Indy XC long travels and my Q5's, now they all work great and are set up for my weight.

Truth is, an older mountain is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Considering there isn't a real strong market for them, all the younger guys want new stuff because they think its "Better" as where I'll take a quality made older model any day since most of my riding happened back through...

Re: Re: It wasn't the same seller, The first seller put up one dirty pic of the bike sitting next to the garage, the guy who bought it took about 10 different detailed pictures inside his house and even put up his name "Frank" That's quite ok because today I am quite sure I sniped an absolute...

I messaged the current seller and he said that he had the advantage living in the same town, so he was told by the first guy that was selling it about me wanting to come buy it, I live about half an hour away from where it was listed, I did let him know that he would never sell that bike for...

A nice 97 model Specialized Rockhopper popped up on my local CL last month, I messaged the person that listed it within 30 minutes of the post. Told them I would come buy the bike and they said ok, last minute when I was gonna leave to come get it they say someone else is coming to look at it...

Re: Bontrager Titanium A lot of nice parts, going to be a very good build!

Awesome job man, that thing looks Rad!

Picked this 1996 Giant ATX 890 up today for a great price. The elastomers were gone in the Rockshox fork so I rebuilt them, replaced the failed elastomers with heavy coil springs, better then new now and smooth. It has a killer Sakae Japan 135mm stem, very machined looking. The guy I bought it...

Re: Nice, like everything about that bike. Nice score.
