You wanted to sell it because the seetpost was too long? cut it down with a hacksaw. Fast and easy.

No Sparky. It's because he has to use a seatpost thahts really long so the bike will fit him.

Holy Hannah,

I'm sitting flipping through the Nicolai website. These are beautiful bikes...I wish I wasn't a bloody student and could grab one of these. The time will come...the time will come.

Konarider: Your list did not include Santa Cruz...any reason?

Jekyllrider: What Prophet is that? I was out riding a Prophet 600 back when there was still snow on the ground, and I was quite impressed with the ride (despite it's shortness). The Lefty still blows my mind at times.

I built it from a frame. I am pretty sure the frames are all the same with the Prophet, although the color is only available as the 2000 or 4000 model. The rear shock is a Manitou Swinger 3 Way air which is offered on the 1000 model and up and so far I am quite impressed. Even though it has only 1 inch more travel than my Jekyll had, it feels like twice as much and is much more plush.

Since I have started doing some group rides I decided I needed a better MTB. Hence I bought a better frame from the LBS and a Rock Shox Pilot fork and transferred the components from my old MTB today. This is the result:

The chain is too short and I need to get a longer one but the results are looking quite good.

That BMW is sweet! Never seen a chain setup like that before.
Is it supposed to keep the chain at the same length as the suspension is compressing?
Very cool.
