Awesome. Thanks C Law. So far it seems like a pretty solid bike. We shall see with a bit of riding. I will probably change out the stem, seat post, and handlebar, though. Never heard of Skye and I can't seem to find any reviews.

Okay...I have pictures now.

'02 Cannondale Bad Boy, rebuilt with custom wheels, Avid BB7 brakes, and On One dirt drops. 25.5 pounds of hot, nasty speed.

Hot nasty speed**********?? Are you pro?

A legend in my own mind.

Sweet!

This has been sitting up for years and I couldnt part w/it so decided to revive.Just got it back from being powder coated...Now I want new cables and fork..(Just to let it sit up somemore

Thweet asth thugar.

Here's my Interloc Tempest. 853 Reynolds frame, 2x9 rigid. PB lights on only when riding around town at nite.

Interloc as in IRD?! Fascinating! Only knew them for their compnents. BTW, are those BB7s I see? Now, why didn't you go with the Dual-Bangers?

^ probably because of that carbon fork on there. Looks like he is a bit of a weight weenie and didn't want the dual bangers. One banger is ok but 2? well, thats one too many bangers, isn't it now.

Yup, the same IRD. Sorta obscure frame, ya don't see many around town. At least I haven't. And yeah, BB7s. They're simple, cheap and effective. You've got a keen eye, my friend.

s'cuse my ignorance... "dual-bangers"? as in bangers and mash? Sorry, mashed potatoes and sausages are too heavy for cycling food. I'd rather go with a couple packets of Gu and a bottle of Accelerade

I'm not a true weight weenie but I certainly don't want excessive weight if I could help it. This one's my "simple" bike without going SS. I still have my hardtail w/ sus fork and my full suspension bike for those other days I don't wanna go "simple".

Paint job done.
We re getting somewhere now

After:



New pedals next week!

IRD Dual-Bangers mechanical discs. They're set up to squeeze inner and outer pucks into the rotor ('dual action' rather than one fixed and one moveable like the Avids). I was really just kidding though, based on them being from the same 'family.' From everything I've read, BB7s work better than the IRDs regardless.

Ahhh... I never knew the IRD discs were dual action, thought they were Avid clones.

Took alot of elbow grease and 4 pieces of steel wool.

Thought you crashed that.

I found a frame to replace it and used parts that I had set aside for my Raleigh conversion.

That thing's kinda weird...what sort of trail do you ride it on?

Road/Track.

Trails here are going to be impassible for awhile.

You got the gears on backward dood...the big one goes in back so you can get it up a hill.

How many inches are you pushing there? is that a 53/16?

you ride that on the street? Bless your young knees!

It's about time someone put up a garage door picture.

Funny you mention that...ever since I went 1x9...I've been feelin that.
