Ton's o' bike porn here:eekster:...haven't played in this thread in forever. My bike porn folder just grew by leaps and bounds! Tough acts to follow but here's my ghetto chid'rens anyway...
Wow! Your bikes are totally from different class, but..
..here's mine.
It's a dingle-speed Kona Splice with Salsa CroMoto -fork. I think it's better than just go and buy a unit from LBS. Learnt a valuable lesson building this. I thought that going from ground up would have been bit too big piece for a novice like me.
Hoses are little long. Haven't had an inspiration to shorten them yet.
I believe with the money spent for extras for your hopper, you could be piloting a Carve Pro. The geo is very close. The biggest bang for the buck after market fix should have been the wheels. The only thing on my 13 Carve Pro I would upgrade would be the wheels as well. Anyhoot, ya gotta a nice rig, and looks like ya gotta nice place to
ride it.
Thank you, but I didn't spend nearly new prices on those parts. All used in great condition for much much much less than msrp. A new wheelset would be many times more than what I spent and the bike came with a trash fork and subpar shifting setup and pedals. So those were an immediate must. I won't be upgrading this bike anymore since its not worth it. I'm just going to ride the heck out of it and then build a full suspension bike when I finish grad school and get a job that actually pays money.
Here is my new bike I am building. The Niner Air9 RDO. It is a 1x10 with X9 cranks with a spiderless chainring, XTR RD, and XT cassette. It is using a few parts from another bike until my new ones come so it is not as light as it will be when complete but it weighs 20.5 lbs.
