This is the current state of affairs.

Used regularly for car replacement duties, commuting and small shop runs.

It has parts from the 80's right up to the present day.

It's a comfy ride and way more fun than sitting in traffic in the car, as long as the weather holds.

Always liked the Bootzipper, there aren't many modern MTB frames without suspension corrected geometry.

Hello, I'm interested in installing a BBSHD on my Bootzipper 29er. I'm curious about the chainring you've chosen, whether you needed spacers to ensure clearance with the chainstay, and what your chainline looks like. Thank you in advance for your help!
