Bikes: 1994 Giant Yukon (first mountain bike), 2003 Trek Fuel, Custom Full Carbon hardtail MB (in progress), Scattante with Dura Ace (custom build up)

Current Single Speed configuration. The winter/commuter beater. The frame is a little small for me, but it works. As soon as I get a new set of disc hubs, the components will be swapped over to a carbon frame for a much nicer single speed!!

commo_soulja...that was just the initial setup. The chain is now shorter and the tensioner is in a better position...thanks.

Just picked it up yesterday. This is the first mountain bike I have owned since I was about 12. Excited to get it out on some dirt...

My first higher quality mountain bike. I've been riding a 20 year old steel Raleigh hybrid for years so this is one heck of an upgrade.

Oh they are long gone. Took this picture right after I got it home so I was to excited to even think of removing them at that time.

I am tired of having so many different bikes for different uses. So this is going to be my do everything monster! It will be built up with SLX/XT components, a 150mm Rock Shox Sektor, and a couple different wheelsets (one for freeride/AM/thrashing, and one for regular/commuting/winter). What's left of the other 3 bikes will be combined into a backup/loaner...just have to decide which frame. After that I will have some spare parts, and 2 frames to sell (either 2 FS frames, or 1 FS and one hardtail)

I will post pics of the buildup soon!!

I just ordered a bunch of lightweight rubber myself (IRC Mythos in 1.95 and 2.1), some will go on this bike, I think. Picked her up for $5 the other day. She's practically rideable. Just needs new grips and possibly new rear brake, one arm has a broken plastic bit - it brakes, but not quite properly. Maiden voyage this evening makes me think I might like her more than the Trek 4000 so I might sell off the Trek.

New boots as in tires? Those look like older Specialized tires. Control/Master tires?

I thought the Team tires had the red stripe along the sidewalls. Yellow were Comp tires?
