It's a long winter

I accumulate stuff during the summer for my winter hibernation.

Pretty excited about this winters bunch

I still gotta get my green expresso on the trail before winter. Been waiting on my forks to be rebuilt. Maybe this weekend

Long winter and probably very cold hey!!! Still plenty to keep you busy in the man cave with the bikes,,,,

There's usually a witching hour around November and December when you can get out and ride frozen trails (no snow ... Just frozen). I actually ride more retro rigids than compared to the rest of the year. Not sure if this will make it out in the frigid cold

Ah yes... winter projects... annoyingly enough I find them more pricey than the summer ones... I blame it on the cold days and warm chair infront of my computer with eBay open... =)

On the plus side it's usually a good time to sell bits to fund projects. All those butts in cpu chairs dreaming of riding like to spend $$$. Great for padding the funny money account.

Took a longer look at the fsr. I think there are some plastic washers that could use replacement ... Hope I can find them. They are probably generic.

I'm going to mock it up for sizing on the weekend before I pull it all apart. I'll have the rear triangle powder coated black and replace the bolts with titanium ones.

Re:

Did a quick mock up for sizing. Odd fit. It has a lot of stand over height with the raised BB. Should work fine for me. Works to about 22" on the tt, which is ok.

Anyone know tub seat post size on these? My post is too pitted to read and my calipers at giving me 28.0 which better be wrong because that's the worst size ever!

Time to pull it apart.
