Stock Steamroller. Boring, but I like it. I figured I'd get a pre-built one then replace what I didn't like, and so far, there's not really anything I don't like. Except I think the frame's too small for me. It's a 53cm and I'm 5'10. I had never had a bike with anything even close to road geometry so it was totally new. (The seat in the pic is too low for me. Adjusted it for a friend.. and wow, it's really pointing up) Oh well!

Just finished a ss conversion of a bike given to me (Faggin, Italian). Yesterday I re-taped the bars (that Easton cork tape plus Fizik gel pads turned out a bit too thick for my tastes), and replaced the brake cable housing and hoods. Previously, I stripped the derailleurs, freewheel and chain, and installed a BMX freewheel, put on some French pedals, new chain, saddle and seatpost. That's about it. It's a total kick to ride. Right now, it's my favorite bike.

Yeah man!! But don't get one of those Motobecane 29ers. If you want something in that price range, get a Redline Monocog or a KHS Solo One. Both are good bikes for under $500.

Here's my brand new Monocog 29er. Built with surly disc hubs, salsa delgado cross rims, truvativ cranks, tomicog bolt-on cog and various other parts. This thing is like a tank compared to my road bikes.

Can we get some full shots of that thing? It sounds wicked and the sneak-peak-esque photos leave me wanting more.

Suggan - great bike! What are those classic handlebars? What's the frame and what model/brand hub did you use?
