    Looking for a fork for a older bike for my son.

    My son recently moved up from a 24" to a 26" bike. We took all the parts off my dad's old bike and restored a old Klein frame for him to use. I'm hoping to keep him on this bike for at least a year (until he grows big enough to fit into a size S bike) then we can start looking at the newer...

    School me on the ~98 Rocky Mountain Element Race

    Saw a Rocky Mountain Element Race pop up for sale cheap. Needs a few bits to get her riding but the frame, wheels, and fork looks to be in good condition and it has some nice aftermarket bits on her.

    A hello, how I found the forums, and some bike porn.

    When I was in college (~94-98) 95% of the time you would find me on my bike. I dabbled in racing, learned how to wrench on a bike, and spend 4-5 days out of the week at the local trails putting some hard miles on a pretty good collection of bikes for a poor college kid. But after graduating I...
