The Santa Cruz that replaced the Yeti is sliding into old age too ---- its wearing relatively current stuff , but only because I bought a Superlight at a blowout price from Co. Cyclist a few years ago for not much more than a bare frame would have cost -- re-did that frame with dream components (for me) - and used the cast-off's to re-do this one for a buddy bike, --- my brother has been using it for 4 or 5 years and it just came back into my shop for a tune up -- still pretty cool, but the bottom of the range Shimano/Rock Shox kit on it means its a bit porky (30 lbs) -- but its wearing Smoke re-issues and thumbies though for a vintage touch





Since you mentioned the attic, and this is a thread about projects, I guess you could say my bike room is an ongoing winter project ---- It will be finished before that Marin Team will be I think -- I just ran out of laminate wood for the floor and need to find more just like it ----
--- when I ran the attic thread, I started feeling a bit guilty about all the bikes gathering dust up there, so I got a Rubbermaid rail system at Home Depot and started re-doing a little exercise room I had built off my garage -- most of us know how well home based exercise rooms work for the populace, so I think a bike room is a better way to use the space ---- keep the lighting soft, and have a comfy chair or 2 to curl up and read a book or watch a bit of tv to boot
