Awwww Damn Jim she sure is purdy.... how ya gonna build her up? I am going to be ordering my new wheelset shortly so I can bolt up the super.

I won't tell the mrs about the wine if you don't ;)

Worth the wait and then some I'm sure.

That is one beautiful frame. Make sure you post some shots of you in action on that beaut.

you and I can finally ride together, build yer bike up eh?

I only sub'd the fork, got a 7" Slider+ as it was some 6-8 hundred $ less than the 888.

FSA Headset 1.5 reduced to 1.25

SRAM Drive except for Shimano front d鲡illeur
SRAM triggers (new fangled ones)
DT Swiss Hugi DH hubs
Mavic 729 wheels and shiny spokes I forget what kind.

Fortunately as I told my wife, it's the last bike I'll ever need.

NSMB posted the whole Norshore is closed, even the pedestrian seawall walk. Mudslides all over. Me 'n K'Endo are gonna drink and assemble all afternoon today I think.

Maybe next week I'll find work to pay for this.

Great looking machine Jim!

Let me know when you get it built up so we can hook up for a ride.

Are you having a building up party?

Oooh red! Just like my Sheila(Loco) and Dorothy(mini). Nice Jim!

Hey Knolly riders, the Cdn bikes board needs a Knolly thread. No one has started one over there yet.

See how these people on mtbr are. Nobody probaby even noticed the wine!;)

The spilled wine matches the paint on Jim's new bike nicely!

It is a fake wine spill. I hope the headset set has a 1.5" to 1.125" reducer or you are going to have a sloppy steerer tube.


EK

fake wine as my plastic puke and dog poop wore out.

Yes there's a reducer for the headset (http://www.go-ride.com/headsets/fsa_orbit1five.jpg). 3' of duct tape tightly wound.
FSA Orbit Xtreme Pro 1.5 & 1.5 Reducer
Cutting edge design. Forged and CNC machined 7075/T6 aluminum cups, patented alignment tip for increased durability and performance, and new stainless steel Angular Contact Bearings. Stainless steel crown race, laser etched aluminum top cap.

Black only, choose 1.5 or 1.5 Reducer

Just gorgeous. So jealous. Wish I had an extra 3 grand.

Very nice Jim. Have fun with the build and just take your time with it. Mine went together super smooth and was a most enjoyable experience. Lemme know when you are ready to ride and we will get some more of the Knolly gang out to do a tour on your maiden run.

Methinks EK was making reference to the fact that you said you have a 1.5 to 1.25 reducer, which would be very weird, since the steer tube standard is 1.125. That kinda slop might even ovalize that burly head tube!

My fridge won't get fixed until Tuesday!! Can you believe every frickin appliance repair joint in the area is booked solid? It's dead fridge week in Vancouver! I'm gunna try to hop on the 3:30 fairy.

Yea I have had it built for awhile, then I fawked up both legs on 7th, last ride was out at the shed with Tim, Ken, and Kelsea. We were going to ride last weekend, but it was snow/rain and we were hung over....so we went parts shopping instead. Bought me a Gazzi 2.6..... found a bunch of stuff I "need"....hehe Maybe we'll have to do Galbraith, there are some brand new trails up there I hear....maybe get Hammer out of the closet LOL

Oh, and that bike is sweet too!

sure, it's gonna be well over 40lb. Fortunately, it's much lighter in metric, only about 22Kilos.

Now I gotta find work to pay for it :rolleyes:

Done. However it is completely hidden behind the zillion stickies that are at the top of that forum. Now I know why I never go over there!

You might be surprised at the weight Jim. I figure mine is mid 40s and you have a lighter fork then mine, a lighter wheelset then mine. My rear D is lighter (by 20g) so I expect to see you absolutely FLYING up the hills as well as down.....

TJ

Looks flexy.

























;)
let's see some build-in-progress pictures ... and get it against the sofa where it belongs.

Have fun building it up. I had a feeling that the ride Andy, TJ, and I did on Seymour was going to be the last one on the Shore for a while. :mad:

I rode the Knolly at Galbraith so Pat T. has a good idea there.

I'll make it a sticky too!

That's colour is "beauty"! (insert DonCherry voice)

These are good bike buildin' days Jim. Take your time, fart around getting er right cause you ain't missin no riding. Oh, and take some pics while yer at it. I've been twidlin with my bike for past week just gettin er dialed (had 'er Push'd) and watchin vid's just to get through this rain without a nervous breakdown. FAQ, can't even ski! I even had to drink some Fat Tire Ale I smuggled back from Baker to help remind me of Fruita days.

Enjoy the ride,
Mike

Bwwwwhahahaha .... rode into work to day on the X-canada trail along the N Bunraby shore. Some trails are an eroded, fissured mess, others are no different than they are on a dry summer day. Just goes to show you what small steps/design features can do for trail preservation. Anybody need a thesis topic? Nice bike, BTW, Jim. D. <-Didn't get swallowed up by a mudslide this morning.

sangre de cristo!

bootyful, Jim. I'm salivating now until mine arrives. hopefully your rains will let up and you can get 'er out on the trails soon.

It's a jelly!

Congratulations, Mr. C. I took pictures of Knolly's bike in the Progressive booth at Interbike and I was impressed. He'd told me about it last year but I didn't get to see it. When I finally did see it in person, I wanted to rub up against it, it was soooo purty. I don't think it would be practical for the riding I do here, though. I think it looks like a kick ass Shore shuttler, though.

Is that replacing your Bullet? Or am I hopelessly behind in Passion current events?

You are so like, last spring. Like that is like when a bunch of us like sold our bikes to invest in the Knolly's.

:D

I never thought I'ld see Ken hop a ferry to Bowen just for some cold beer, but I guess some people get desperate when their fridge keels over.

Does this mean we'll finally have a Sunday ride? I think a Knolly owner should pick the trail. I wouldn't count on anything on Seymour though.

Good looking steed, Jim. Looking forward to seeing you and It on the shore this season.

C'mon Jim!! Lessee some photos!

Kn.

WOW :D that's a totally sweet looking RIG Jim - I'm jealous of you guys who own those. Any pics of it built up yet? Guess next time I'm in the C'dian Rockies I'l have to pop over and try to hook up with you guys.

Damn man just have to say again "SUWEeeeeeeeeeeeeet" Bike, most beautiful frame I've ever seen. Colour's just the right colour.
