Not sure I completely understand rake/offset. I currently have a pace rc31 fork 42.5cm fork on the bike now and am looking to replace with a 39cm or 40cm fork both with 42mm rake. I don't know what the rake/offset is on the pace. Again this bike is for road so not sure how much twitchiness I...

by stretched I kinda mean "looks" larger than expected. not necessarily too long. sorry for the confusion or the wrong use of terminology. It may also be just an illusion on my part. I have a 100mm stem and thinking about going down to 70mm although when I sat on my bike with pumped tires the...

I have a frame and want to install a shorter A2C rigid fork. I think the "correct" fork length for the frame is about 425mm or 42.5cm. From the manufacturer, the BB should be about 12 inches or 30.5cm. When I installed my 425mm fork, the bike seemed a little "stretched" out. Realistically the...

hey man seen your posts on MTBR I am in the process of building something similar, but different :) I got lucky and bought of CL a spicer Ti cruiser frame who's geometry is proper for mtbing Got some questions for you. 1) what is the length of the fork you have? axel to crown 2) those are 26"...

ok...let's revive this thread

Are the Spins coming from France? :wink: All kidding aside, will u be using this bike for off-road biking with those Spins? I know Spins, although cool, have some definite performance and maintenance issues. The only ones available nowadays are used ones so I hope the ones you get are not...

i say keep the paint. nothing like original paint with a little 90's rustic show. maybe just make sure it is cleaned up. although it would probably look nice with repro decals. i know someones makes these replicas. are you going to use your old spins? hope so

probably cuz that frame is so small that it makes those 26"ers look like 29s! keep it coming!

now this for some reason makes me want to get some spins!

Re: damn that is tiny! 14"? what a great paint job! i say keep it!

is that it?

sorry mine is 16.5 but close enough. '94 Trek 8700. I kinda like the look of smaller bikes rather than stretched out larger sizes. just my preference and the one and only reason being short is good.[/URL]

see no pm

would you sell to USA? if so how much posted. thanks
