I have that exact stem, yes skateboard truck parts work perfect

Sam pilgrim started riding for canyon. They customized his rear shifter with a road bike thumbie on a 3d printed stand. You can see it on his 2nd newest video from a few days ago. It’s a weird setup for a full suspension bike to to bar spins

So my grandfather passed years ago… but anyway, he told me a story that’s been driving me crazy. Years ago he had an old tow truck that sat at the bottom of a hill. His shop was there also. He always had these scratches on the front hood (boot?) that drove him crazy. One day a kid showed up and...

After Lots of digging on the internet, I found a one or two page catalog that had three offroad bikes. If memory serves me right one was white with blue letters. One like my master and the third was top line version. It might be on this website somewhere in an old post

Good eye. The stem is awful, made the bike front twitchy. We’re changing to a BMX top clamp with riser bars. He’s taller than I am now. we started this back before covid. The original paint job was going to be completely different. Original school project was a ww2 tribute… but school was...

I have an offroad, more rare than “proflex”.. proflex was their gimmick then became the second name of company. Other words, your bike is cooler because it’s an offroad

I gave up on my proflex, use the rear swing arm as a truing stand now.

Through the magic of the internet, the old listing thumbnail was saved here. Link is long gone

Other side of hub

Rear hub. There was an old listing here that said the original cassette was a shimano 8 speed. Anyone notice any problems if that cassette is used?

The only mention of piranha hubs were on this site. Couldn’t find any other references But the bike frame is similar to a large Bmx (sort of like a prehistoric dirt jumper)

Left out that a set of sealed bearings hubs were $14 Insane

Tiny update Took a chance and ordered a set of green “piranha” hubs from eBay. Front and rear (rear missing the cassette) Silky smooth and look suspiciously similar to ringle. I have no idea what the history of piranha hubs are. It’s a retro mystery. I put them on some ritchey vantage sport...
