New Wheels (The Pedaling Kind)

[jtemple]

I'm replacing my 12-13 year old Rocky Mountain:

It shipped yesterday!

When the dust settles, I'll part out the old bike.

I may be interested in the cranks, forks, brakes, and derailers... specs? forum member discount? ;)

I may be interested in the cranks, forks, brakes, and derailers... specs? forum member discount? ;)First, I have to tear it apart and clean up the parts. I'm going to give my sister first dibs on a few things, and a friend of mine might want some stuff.

After that, I'm not looking to make a bunch of money on it. We'll talk!

Cranks are 175mm Race Face

Bottom Bracket is Race Face

Forks are Marzocchi Bomber Z-1, 100mm travel, 1 1/8" steer tube, I left extra tube on there to give you some slack fitting other bikes

Brakes are XTR

Derailleurs are XT, 3x8 speed

Of all of that stuff, there's a pretty good chance my sister will want the forks. Hers are cheap and leaking.

I'm interested in all of it, though I don't need the cranks... they'd just look cool on my bike. And if it's for me, you don't have to clean up shit... If you do, it'll be the last time it gets cleaned... well, other than the spinny bits.

[OneSickPsycho]

Dang... the forks are what I need most... though I'd actually prefer rigid.

[jtemple]

Well, if you want some of it, I can skip the cleaning to get them to you faster. I have no problem with that. I'll send you some closeup pics first so you don't get something you don't expect.

I'm not tearing it apart until the new bike arrives, it'll probably be a week, minimum.

Damn, I haven't seen Spin rims since my BMX days well I guess about 12-15 years ago.

Love the Fox Shocks

[jtemple]

The Spin wheels are still going strong! I have put them through hell and back; they're TOUGH. The only thing I've ever had to do with them is replace the rear bearings once.

[Amber Lamps]

Gosh, I wish I wasn't so lazy...still hanging, over 4 years now.

Awesome, man! I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep my full suspension BMC or, part it out/sell it.

[jtemple]

I don't know if I can bring myself to sell the old bike. It's still perfectly ridable. For now, my wife is going to use it. After that, I might just keep it around for a loaner bike.

Here's the other ride, Bianchi D.I.S.S., single speed. Everything is matte black, disc brakes, fully rigid. This bike is very light and a ton of fun on the trails.

It's a sick addiction. My husband's favorite in our collection is his airborne, ridged, single speed, titanium... I can relate.

[jtemple]

I'm planning on getting back into racing. Nothing hardcore, just the occasional race here & there for fun.

[wildchild]

nice ride, mine is a roadie, nothing fancy it's a trek 1.2 yeah they pull you off the couch LOL

[racedoll]

Very nice. I took over my hubby's Specialized Allez since he picked up a new Cannondale hybrid.
