I searched and couldn't find anything on the specific topic of SS MTB. Can we start up a photo/general discussion thread?

I know this topic may span 2 different sections of BF, but I figured this was the most appropriate section due to the SS/FG nature.

This is my commuter bike. $100 de-logoed Crappy Tire (google it) Super Cycle SC1800 18 sp MTB. I removed the drivetrain and shifters, put on an SRAM S100 48T crankset and a Shimano 18T freewheel. It no longer has that lighting/generator system, but it does have cheap black plastic fenders. This pic shows the bike as of last year. This summer I installed Specialized Fat Boy 26 x 1.25 slicks but winter is coming so the Kenda knobbies will have to be re-installed.

I've got some Fat Boys too, right now the bike's in road form until my knee heals up, then it's back to knobbies. It's a Fetish cycles frame, with some crappy components I had lying around. I'm running 32/13 gearing, but I'm going to change it up soon.

There was a post-apocalypse bike thread some months back. For some reason that GT seems to me to belong there. What are the wheels?

With the studded tires, it handled the winter well:

120 rear, 110 front. I have some spacers on either side of the hub to make it work with the GT.

So the snow doesn't build up in the cogs and the derailleur and frack things up.

Since this photo was taken the bouncy front is AL stiff now, and the front is eeeever so slightly lower.
Monster cross conversion hopefully by the time the snow flies this winter, but I think i need new wheel first, I've gone and worn these ones out.

Yep. 2010 Dawes Deadeye in 17 inch.

I really like how it rides... It is 30 pounds though. I refused to spend any more than this on a 29er mountain bike since I'm not an avid off roader.
