Thanks, never seen C456 break...... yet.

456c is noice!! I'm still kicking around the idea of that replacing my Komodo. I've never been man enough to buy carbon yet, but I think that's the one for me. Still burly, slack, and almost 2pounds lighter than what I've got. Heck man...that thing with an Argyle RCT would bring my hardtail down to the 26lbs range and still be a good HT gnar-shredder.

That frame from TiTi is only $399!!

Christmas is coming.


(edit: you should ditch the logo's, gold bar, and go proper "murdered out":lol:)

I thought of going for a total stealth black look, but in the end bought some gold hope pro II evo hubs, so added gold superstar nano's, gold hope seat clamp, gold superstar lock ons, and the gold race face dues bars, I am looking to replace the bars for some haven carbons soon and may use the hubs on my next build

I was just kidding...all black would be cool, but it's tastefully done. I went with red Hope Pro 2's on my build (black XLT / black vanilla). It's hard to resist colored ano.:lol:

Here is my Simplon Stomp Carbon Race-Fully.

badass mate

It's was on outcast 29er. I painted it, obviously. I switched the stems from my moto fantom comp so now the outcast has a ritchey comp, the grips are ergon, bars are forte ctr, chain is kmc bmx, front tire is a Nevegal, rear is a slant 6, pedals are eggbeaters. 33x20 gearing. Full rigid ss because I'm a beast :P

That's a nice lush green lawn. Bike is OK too.

New drive bits. MRP ring, Micro G2 guide, SRAM X.7 crank, X.9 clutch rear mech. Very, very quiet, smooth, and secure. 28t ring here, have a 30t if it proves too low. I'm a big time spinner though, so I don't foresee any issues. Have tghe same new rear mech on the back of my Trance, and it's awesome. If you need a new rear mech, stop, do not pass go, and get a clutch type. Whether you run Shimano or SRAM, they both have them, and they are that good at silencing chain slap/noise and helping with any chain derailment.

I find myself riding this bike more than I'd anticipated. It's heavier, way slacker than the other bikes, but pedals really freakin' well. Got a Moab trip coming up in the fall, this is the bike that'll be going.
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1...y/IMG_0038.jpg

Under 32#, 65* HTA, 6.7" in back, 7" up front. UST rear with an EXO casing up front, both tubeless on Flow rims. Got a second cheapy wheelset with full DH tires/tubes and a straight seatpost/seat combo for heading to the lifts. Stupid fun bike.

(something appears to be funky with photobucket right now...images are not working...)

Haha that was during the spring when we got tons of rain. It's mostly burnt up not. Stupid Kentucky weather.

Nice ride scrublover! I bet that thing can handle some serious abuse.

not entirely sure what all of the parts are if anyone could help me identify them. i found what companies they are made by but i could not find the exact model/what they are worth.

don't worry if some of the parts are not high end, i paid 5$ for it lol, all help is greatly appreciated!

Looks like an early '90s Cannondale with Rock Shox Indy elastomer fork, Grip Shift, and Sun AT18 rims. For $5 that was a score!

thanks for letting me know!

Rest of the year setup.

Here is my 2001 Schwinn Moab 3. I bought it new and road it as my primary bike up until this past spring when I bought a Giant Rapid because it was better suited to my regular rides. A few summers ago, I set this bike up for on-road use with Michelin City tires. Last summer, I re-geared it (larger chain rings 26/38/48, a cassette with a tighter ratio, & new chain). By last summer, the chain was stretched well beyond what it should have been because, before that time, I didn't really do much in the way of bike maintenance. Thankfully, that has changed as of last year.

Other than the gearing, I haven't really done much to it. The seat post is a 425mm made by IRD. Yes, I realize that there is a lot of seat tube showing, but I'm too attached to this bike to get rid of it. At any rate, the top tube on this bike is almost the same as the top tube on my properly fitting Rapid. I also have it set up so that I am comfortable on the bike. I would imagine that it wouldn't be as comfortable as my Rapid on a 60+ mile ride, but I don't foresee myself riding my MTB on a ride that long; after all, that's why I bought the Rapid.

On that note, I desperately need to change is the tires. Those are the original Michelin tires that came on the bike. They aren't in the greatest shape (sidewalls starting to crack). They survived my ride tonight, but I will have to stop by the LBS and get some new tires soon. It could also use some new grips, as the stockers are getting rather worn.

This picture was taken earlier this evening. I needed to do something different than my normal road/trail ride, so I took the MTB out on some MTB trails.
