I might try to go out even earlier. 5:30a or 6a...

That's the nicest looking Mantra i've seen in a LONG time!

I'd like to ride saturday... can you go at like 7am? SoPo/Cape?

Yee gadz! Out of my league...

anyone have a hand operated rivet gun? I need to pop a few rivets into a frame to hold on the cable stops.

I had one of those too... but mine was a Mongoose. Picked up the Merckx frame at Freeman's today. Josh was able to sort out the headset & bottom bracket issues. She's all ready now. Just have to find the time to get the steerer tube cut to length then cable the brakes. She'll be a...

You probably want more than I have... but how much?

You talking Carver bikes? If so, nope. I have a Singular.

I'm probably out for this week. I rode yesterday and doubt i'll get a hallpass for tomorrow. Have an outing on Thursday for work. I'ze just wants ta ride.

For 5 bills i'd pick that bike up if I didn't already have a 29er. A used Fox fork goes for a couple hundie alone. It would definitely be a good starting point and then you could put money into better wheels, etc. It is a single speed though...

So I was able to salvage my rear derailleur and stay 1x9. Phew. Went for a spin around Sopo/Cape yesterday and everything was hummin' along until I slipped off the skinny bridge on the water in Robinson Woods. Chain came off the front and got jammed between the inner crank arm & the chain...

You can choose what you want. For mountain, 32t or 34t is pretty common to run up front. I'm already running a 32t ring in the front so i'm either going to put a 16t or 18t ring on the back. Typical starting point for singlespeeding is 2:1 ratio. If you have lots of uphills, the bigger ring...

I've officially joined the single speed crowd... damn near tore my rear derailleur off yesterday at Bradbury. Will be making the conversion this weekend.

It should fit a 2003-2008 Forester. Highly doubt it would fit on a new Foz. I have an 05 STi bar & mounts on my 03 Foz.

Yup... a soup to nuts build. Have a rim, have a hub, have a pile of spokes. Now build. It's something i've always wanted to do. I can't true a wheel for crap but I can build & tune the rest of the bike. I'd be interested in what tools are necessary (obviously a truing stand and a spoke...

I see they fixed their pricing mistake. It's listed for $24k now. Last week it was a screaming deal... this week... not so much.

So my crazy carbon single speed road bike is coming together thanks to Josh at Freeman's Cycle Shop. Carbon fork is on the FedEx truck today, crankset is ready to go, carbon bars & stem are waiting... this thing should be crazy light. Merckx CXM Frame FSA K-Force carbon stem &amp...

How about a little learning session on how to build wheels? I'll bring beer.

I disagree... Steel isn't old school. I think Aluminum is one of the harshest rides you can get. Steel has some flex to soak up bumps but at a weight penalty. The main benefits to aluminum are weight & cost. You can get an Al frame that weighs in less than carbon for cheap... thing is...

If the pedals turn and it fits... it's a good rig. Whether it's worth putting more money into... that's your call. What are you looking to do to it? The Tangent is a steel frame w/ steel fork if i'm not mistaken. If you want to upgrade stuff... you're looking at some coin. used carbon fork...
