The last ride of my green machine that didn't work out...
That's a '98 trek 930 made outta OX comp steel I stripped and powdercoated and I didn't realize it was originally spec'd with something like a 50mm fork till after I built it up, so I just couldn't get the geometry to work with my fork (had it set to about 65mm on the above ride). Too bad cuz it turned out nice and I built it up cheap.
New frame is here, waiting for a couple more things and I'll take the failed one apart.

Thanks 
I'm pretty stoked about it. This is my first build, first time I got to choose all the parts. I went with XT hubs and stans rims, king headset, juicy 5s, truvativ gxp 1.1 cranks, surly 19t cog, raceface seat post and an azonic stem. It came in at 24.04 lbs.
I've ridden it once so far (Tuesday). My legs haven't been this sore since my first ride in 2006

I'd love to own one,or at least later replace my RL frame w/ a Bander (I've a friend who is a Vassago dealer,and rolls a sweet 2x9 Bandersnatch
)

The old bike -- quite an improvement over the 1980-ish Huffy "ATB" that got stolen in college: 
The new bike, loaded up for a picnic ride. No way I was going to deal with being jostled on my CAAD8 along the gravel C&O towpath:

Now I just need to figure out what to do with that bike. I love the bike but I feel like it holds me back a bit and I might need something a little more slack. Maybe I can pick up a stumpjumper frame and swap all my parts

I love that trail, sadly I've only hiked parts of it (Part of the section just out side of Cumberland), but I want to ride the whole thing.

I just rode from Shepherdstown to a little south of Cumberland on my fixed gear roadie with cross tires last weekend. Was a nice ride. That area is beautiful this time of year. Was also my girls first ride on the yo betty I bought for her, and set up SS. Its a nice SS ride, and the roadie did great on it. We are planning a trip this fall to ride the whole thing, and stay at some B&Bs on the way.

^ Nice SS... did you take of the frame logos or did it come like that? Is that a Saint crank... did you take of the logos as well? Pedals?
Is the white garage wall really mandatory?
So many questions...

1: The logos have been off.
2: It's not the 2009 saint line up.
3: I didn't really feel like going any further.

It really looks nice with DJ. That being said, it looked nice with just about all the forks I've seen on it .
