curious- any reason you didn't go with discs...?

Doesn't really rain in the Bay Area so its all dry dusty courses around here, and when it does rain, the mud doesn't really stick so discs aren't really necessary. Aesthetically, I prefer the look of mini v/cantilevers to discs anyways, so thats another plus. I also get to use wheels that I already have around because I don't have to put discs on them.

The only geared bike I own.

Pick is from a 500 mile tour around the North half of Lake Michigan in August. Search it in the touring forum if interested.

That makes my pants tight.

semi-related note: my wolverine frame is for sale!

That Appaloosa is so tuff looking!

I would ride that thing anywhere: commute to work, crawl around on some of our local singletrack trails, haul it to Moab and ride Slickrock, hook up my cargo trailer full of camping gear and pedal to Wyoming... anywhere.

You're making me want to spruce up my old StumpJumper for better comfort and utility. Of course, it will never be nice as that. (If only because it has but one top tube!)

Setback post went on along with a 120mm stem instead of straight post x 130mm stem. I have an enve post on the way

Looks great! I need to find a 120mm enve stem before my Cannondale arrives in November. My 100mm just isn't going to cut it on the smaller frame.

Thanks!

120mm is like the minimum for me on road bikes for it to look good, so I'm psyched to see your Evo

cut a bit of the stem ***** off today, got 7th in my race yesterday because I got outsprinted at the line :(

Well done Muffin Man. I love it.

picked this up today for $250. Full tricolor 600 and the frame is in really good condition.

Holy moly what a deal.

Yeah, that is a great price.

Yeah the downside was that I had to drive through St. Pete and Clearwater at rush hour, which took a couple years off my life I think.

Score! I'd change bars, pedals and seat and ride the crap out of that. My favorite color, too.

Got some better pictures of it today. I think I'll replace the stem first because the reach is a little too far for me. Did a shakedown ride this morning after tuning it up last night and everything seems to be in place - the ride is really nice and it feels more aggressive than my Salsa, but I haven't seen a geometry chart or anything.
