looking to do another summer epic ride, was thinking Waldo lake, Oakridge (Alpine Trail), and maybe Blackrock. Logistics are a little harder but not bad. Late August - Anyone interested shoot me a line.

Hello shop4, this has got to be last year, right? What do you think about this crazy little site? Pretty cool eh! Love the fully rigid sled. Anything that works against the current grain is just fine by me.

Sweet out of the saddle effort Hudson!

No worries mate, don't post if you can't take the roast, right? I am happy with the bike, not to bling, just works. They were pretty cool for their time. Will ride it conservitively this summer and hang it in the shop as a reminder of days gone by, Cheers!

The bottom bracket sitting with no rider on board is 16.5 inches, 420mm. With me aboard it squats to about 13.75inches, 350mm. That is a little high because I have the new spring cranked down to compensate for the rather large spare I have picked up from to much beer this past winter. Center of crank arm to top of seat is at 26.5 inches, 675mm. Thank you for chek'in it out.

Will do!

I hope so. The rear shock has been pushed and is so plush it is sick. 170mm front and rear and the best part - 26" wheels, hehehe.

Was jumped for my bike @ Crescent Lake Or. This was after my truck was broken into the same day. Put two of four in hospital and I am the one in trouble with the law! Will have concealed weapons permit renewed by end of July. Bring it you bitches!
