And yes, pretty much any BMC makes my pants go tight and that one rocks

i'll be joining the green snake club; expecting my 07 JTS to come in any day now.

StankApe 10-24-06 08:19 AM

Here's my JTS outside my place of work...the building may look familiar :)

My newest cross bike with a mullet:

Who needs the Bianchi Roger? My main reason for doing this modification was that when I use the bike for my winter ride, I wanted to go fixed but not with the weak front CC canti as my only brake.

your bianchi's chain seems pretty loose.

jeffreyahorn 10-28-06 09:35 AM

Yeah, it is. I was just about to change to my new wheel (flip/flop hub), but I took the picture first. Thanks nonetheless.

Just got my Rocky Mountain Solo CXR today. I don't have a digital camera so I'll just have to post a stock pic.

The only difference between mine and the stock pic is that mine came with an Easton EC90X fork. Apparently the factory accidentally put a bunch of those on instead of the EC70 ones, so I basically got a free fork upgrade. :) Spoon!

Well I'm jealous Stankape. I want to park my JTS outside the Sydney Opera House.

Supposedly Rocky had contracted with Easton for the EC70X, but Easton ran out due to underestimating the demand. Rocky, who has a good relationship with Easton, got the 90X's at the same cost so they could ship the bikes. Definately sweet for the consumer!

Here are some shots of my Rob Roy before the race. It's a bit heavy for a race rig, but it felt nice and solid during the race. :)

^^^The IRO looks so much better sans decals.

Nice. I just built up the same frame as a commuter. How'd you get the decals off?

How does that frame ride [165]? I have been eying the Pompino for a bit but have yet to see one in person or hear a ride report.

auk 11-18-06 09:18 PM

Damn [165], beautiful build. Love it. Looks more than ready to get busy in the dirt. :beer:

What rims did you use?

pitboss 11-18-06 09:29 PM

It reminds me of my SPOT Singlespeed I had 7 years ago (or was it 6?). It is very comfortable for hardpack trails and is a smooth handler. I feel at home in the positioning it provides for stock geometry and it actually fits near perfectly from what I can tell. The frame is well constructed and seems well-suited for its intended purpose. I have only had it out for a total of 9 hours of riding (none of them race hours yet) and have put it through whatever trails I can locate - there are some hidden BMX paths nearby and it performed in nicely there.

The process by which I acquired the frame was more of a trial - yet the On*One/Zedsport folks really helped me out. A few problems, but they always kept in contact. I even scored a free knit beanie from being super patient since the order was mis-routed!
Make sure you go through Zedsport if you order a frame - and call it in!

auk - check the specs in the original post.

Well that's a shot that loves to love - nice bike. Is that the 54 or 55.5 effective top tube frame?

pitboss 11-19-06 12:37 AM

55.5 - I am 5'10" with a 32 inseam. There was a slight misunderstanding on the frame size, (I ordered through On*One at first, but my order was re-routed to Zedsport - the short story is it worked out perfectly, just had to be patient), but a man from the Zedsport facility called to double-check before they shipped - otherwise, I would have ended up with the XL, which is 57.6cm TT.
Like I said - good folks at On*One/Zedsport

Was it the older guy w/ the British accent at Zedport? I swear, he must be the only one in the whole place.

5'10" - 33.5 inseam over here. I should go for a 54ett Pompino based on my freakishly short torso, but then I'd be dealing with a head tube that's way too short and a ridiculous amount of drop from the saddle to the bars. Thanks for the info on everything, this helps me visualize my setup.
