I cant stop riding it, its been getting very dirty :thumbsup:cj.29er said:I have a Cliff 29r pro too. It's a sweet frame. Nice looking bike BTW..... I'd be afraid to get that thing dirty.
Thanks, it started as one of the ebay 29ers that I'm sure everyone has seen (there are a few in this thread). I took all the stickers off everything and all the parts of the frame and got clear brown painted over the silver to make a really dark rootbeer (the painter masked the logos on the head and seat tube but we covered over all the text. From there I kept all the components but replaced the tires with Schwalbe Fat Franks and the seat with a Brooks B-17 in honey. I took some cruiser bars and cut them down a bit then installed them upside down. I replaced the grips with some cork ones and also got some goofy anodized blue value stem cover things to match the blue on the tires. I really wanted to built up a 29er cruiser with coaster brake and more traditional styling but where I live there isn't flat ground for 20 miles in any direction. I will be sticking to the roads but I need gears to get around here.wannabeRacer said:wow, a very nice build!
can you give us specs?
Are you braking while taking the pictures? If you don't you need to readjust them. In your photos the torque arm on the caliper is advanced. The torque arm should return completely when the brake lever is released.Polishdog said:Just picked it up -gift from my GF;

Weighing myself on a bathroom scale holding the bike I'm getting 20-20.5 lbs., but I have to get it on a proper hanging scale. Its more fun than a party in tiger's suite After all these years riding with suspension I forgot that you can climb steep stuff standing up. :eekster:

BTW, put the QR lever on the other side otherwise you'll risk burning your hand on the rotors when using it.selin said:Are you braking while taking the pictures?

Here's my new Niner Air 9. It's my first 29'er as well, so far I like it a lot!
Weight is around 21 pounds
More photos in the bucket
Thanks slocaus! Yeah, 2x5 (or DosV) at the moment. I just dropped off two spiders from 11-34T cassettes at laynemachineworks.com to have them machined down on the back side so they'll fit the 240s SS bolt on hubs. So it'll be 2x6 soon (17-34T). I've got two sets of wheels all built with DT 240s hubs. Semi's/Big Apples for road, Gordo's/WWLT for trail. Trying to make it as clyde proof as possible Been enjoying the ride!!!slocaus said:There ya go, it fits here.
Nice setup, so 2x5 is it? Guess that is a VV? (If SRAM 2x10 is XX).
Post it up with the drops too.
