I was recently asked to convert a Cannondale MTB into a street worthy steed...it wound up looking like my own rides little brother.

Project bike 18" Cannondale (note awesome purple anodized Answer ATAC stem!)

My bike 21" Schwinn Mesa

Both have 7 speed rapid fire, V brakes, XT cranks and deraileurs, IRC Metro tires (1.5 and 2.0)and riser bars. Not the lightest rides around but durable.


Mine also has hand built wheels front and rear. Deore DX 7speed/Sun Rhyno Lite rear and Deore LX/Sun CR-18 front and a Surly ChroMo disc ready fork.

It's fun to rebuild up old MTB's into Urban Stompers. That Surly fork is nice

Chainy,

We have been very busy. We are now 2 days away form our 1 day, 100 mile charity ride, The Greater Captial District (NY) Ride for Missing and Exploited Children. We raise money to produce posters of missing persons. I have been riding in the original version of this event elsewhere in our state for 8 years, but I am on the executive committee of this one.

I have been going to 2 or 3 meetings a week the last 2 months, organizing training rides every weekend...and I am just about burned out. I have ridden about 1500 miles this year so far, more than any other year I am sure.

How are you doing these days?

Looks good 8) Im just about to give my Giant hardtail an urban makeover too, and a single speed conversion down the road :wink:

Nice! I built a similar "urban assault bike" with a '95 Killer V. Slicks were the first thing to be installed, along with V-brakes, On*One Mary handlebars, clipless pedals, and converting the drivetrain to 1x7. (please excuse the crummy picture, its all I've got at the moment)
