Thanks, I think it fits the Sawyer quite well...makes that battleship grey not so blah!

And here's the latest on my 1993 Iguana commuter rig, another challenge for the local bike thieves hence the locks - Note head badge:D

Do you have that for sale right now? Thought I saw it on CL the other day...

Not for sale, kinda hoping to trade for a full suspension. Not sure I want to now, took it out yesterday for the first time and I like it. Very fast bike.

Oh ok...I knew it looked familiar though. There hasn't been much around lately FS wise (at least for a decent deal). Take a look around Cincy, Columbus and Louisville. I picked up my Kona for a deal in Louisville...they seem to have a decent selection.

I agree, Indys Craigslist has been horrible!

From a December ride with the studs on.

what kind of cable casing is that? is it the same casing for brake and derailleur? how is it to cut/adjust? thats really cool stuff there...

Its Jagwire Elite link Mountain Cable. Easiest cable housing I have ever installed. The little alloy links slide over the inner housing. Shifter and brake cables are different...and I don't think they make one for hydraulic brakes. But it is also SUPER light....and a little spendy.

Nice looking bike. My daughter has the same water bottle holder. lol

My wife fell in love with it.

This is the one we put on my youngest sons bike....I thought it looked real unique.

Hey, nice bike! I've got an '04 4500, too but I got it off craigslist and had to give it a little TLC. Looks like you've taken awesome care of it!
Funny that our paint jobs are flip-flopped.

Yeah, that bird cage is really cool. I wouldn't mind a couple for my Cannondale.

Looks good, though I think that paint scheme is from'03. I hope you enjoy it. It's a great bike for light to moderate trail use.

Maybe it was an early paint job or something, because I confirmed it was a 2004 by checking the drivetrain components. From 2003 to 2004 they changed the RD from Alivio to Deore and this bike came with a Deore that looked just like yours. It was toast when I got it though, so I replaced it with an older Deore RD a buddy of mine had laying around.

How's that GC along with shifts thru the whole cassette? I got one I plan on putting on my Fatty in a couple weeks.
