Here's one from when I was a kid, I remember it rode like the frame was about to snap at any bump but it never did.
My welding skills haven't gotten much better either. I knew suspension bikes would take off eventually....Ha Ha.
Sorry I don't have any other pics of it, got stolen from the school.......some people.
I rode 1000miles in 7 days on it, self contained along the Continental Divide in the dirt, from Banff to Butte, MT
I rode it Portland to Ventura, last year
Last year I did the Eastern Sierra Double on it, under 15hrs, about 12,000 ft of climbing
while en route from Portland to Ventura, when I got to Arcata, Ca, I did the 12hrs of Humboldt, placing 3rd...
ya... it gets a lot of miles.
44x11t with a 2.1" 29er tyre gives it about 127 gear inches, which is good to about 50mph before my spin goes all wonky...
Dang! There are alot of nice bikes on here. Heres a pic of a bike I just finished today. Bought a frame with wheels for 20 bucks. From there I got some random electra fenders and painted everything. Also added a new fork. Hope you guys like it.
