I'm going to pick this up tomorrow A.M., I'll fix her up a bit and it'll be my "new" old bike. =0) ;0)

Bought some second-hand SLX Hollowtech II cranks and external bearing BB from a mate. Also bought some new grips.
Only problem was that the old pedals were stuck in the old cranks pretty damn good. The previous owner mustn't have greased the pedal threads in a LONG time.
Pulled everything apart, and fitted the new stuff. I was still left with the problem of old pedals stuck in old cranks. I managed to get the NDS off with a bit of persuasion, but the drive-side is not budging at all. I've tried all the tricks, and nothing.
Got it sorted in the end. Couldn't get the old pedal out of the old crank, so I've had to borrow the pedals from the HT for the time being. Oh well, new set of M520 SPDs are on ze way. Obligatory "pics or it didn't happen."
New stuff.
Before.
During...
After!
Hai there!
They look pretty.

GOT THE BASTARD!
Disassembled the pedal while still on the crank, then just kept going at the spindle. Eventually got it loose using the BIG adjustable wrench.
I'm glad I got it out and saved the cranks, I really like them. Old-school RaceFace Evolve XC.

2000 Gary Fisher Wahoo. Bought it barely used two days ago for $100...couldn't really turn down the price. Put some beefy Specialized Purgatory tires on it to replace the hybrids it came with, as well as some of those Specialized Contour ergonomic grips. I might put a suspension fork on it one day, but for now I like the precise control I get from a rigid fork. Plus I don't feel like dishing out $200 for a fancy suspension for I'll just lock up most of the time anyway.
Not sure why my bottle cage isn't on it in that pic...and my grips are different now.

Bikes: A fat tire & a skinny tire & two others I loaned out
I'm a pretty rough rider so I've been looking into upgrading it with an 80mm suspension fork & disc brake on the front, but I like it so much as it is..just not as my primary trail bike. It's great for light trail rides & on the road though. I'm leaning more towards saving up for a new bike & keeping this one the same with the exception of putting some slicks in place of the off-road tires. Turn in into a nice hybrid.
