I posted a want add on CL for a rigid to make in to a SS. I got an email about a 94 police edition Trek 930, guy said he used it for patrols while in the Navy.

This is what he said: "Upgraded shift group and titanium seat (...) Mavic 217 rims and I think Shimano LX rear derailler, STX front. Sealed (I believe) hubs"

Worth the time to go check it out, I think so. What is a fair offer for the bike?

PS: does anybody know if the 94 930 had a 1in or 1 1/8 HT.

PSS: Chel and B2B, have you ever had pickles from Porubsky's?

IMO...50 bones...w/o actually seeing it. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but if it will accept a Rockshox Quadra 10...I believe it's 1" HT. Just have the dude measure it for you.

Dude wants 250 for the bike, to rich for my blood, which is fine because its to small anyway.

I wish I was up there for the samples. I don't even know what made me think of that, its been 2 years since I have had one.

No riding today, spent all of 7 hours trying to get a rear wheel built only to find the drive side hub flange had a crack in it.

So basically wasted 7 hours and have nothing to show as a result. Very aggravating.

Well, being my idiot self, I got a new headset because my old one was just about dead. But I forgot about Cannondale's Ghey 1.5 head tube. I ended up just taking apart my old headset and re-assembling it which should work for a bit. If not, I'm screwed as I have a group ride with 12-18 or my friends tomorrow (most of whom have never ridden, could be funny). On the flip side, this may or may not have pushed me over the edge to get another frame. . .

I am really tempted, but I need another bike at my parents house like I need a hole in my head, so I figured I would pass it along.

Hope so...


...I'm freakin' beat down! I've been working on my "SoccerMom" van. CV shaft, tranny seal, front pads and rotors, rear wheel cylinders and shoes...I'm freakin' baked, man.

I don't enjoy wrenching on cars anymore...just bikes.
