Scrublover, that bike looks ridiculous. Like a ridiculous amount of fun that is. Of all of the bikes that I've seen posted on these threads, that's one of my favorites.
I am not sure of the numbers, but I have Kenda Nevegals on there, and there is tons of space. I am certain that just about anything would fit. :thumbsup:
Here's my '06 Jamis Exile. I bought this last year from Jenson for $625. Swapped out some parts, resold the OEM stuff I removed, and bought some replacement parts. Upgrades from stock:
Fox F80 RL replaced the crappy Manitou Axle Platinum shock.
On One Mary Bar and Stem
Kenda Nevegal Tires and stock rims converted to Tubeless using Stans Rimstrips and Sealent.
White Industrys ENO 18T freewheel
Classic Selle Italia Flite Saddle
Time ATAC pedals
Oury Grips
The new weight stands at just over 24 lbs (down from 26.5 lbs stock).
The Hayes Sole brakes are the next to go. Steel is real...this bike rides like a dream!
That looks a LOT like my bike. Same frame, handlebar, freewheel, seat. I have changed to Elixir CR since this pic was taken. You are right, it is a really nice riding frame.
I remember seeing pictures of this bike floating around several years ago. I always wondered what happened to it. It used to have a surly flask cage on it though.
didn't pick that up from an absurdly nice guy at a great price at pape subway station did ya?
:thumbsup:
looks great in it's new incarnation!
oddly enough I've been looking at monstercrossing something and my old hoolie popped into my head!
if you ever feel like it, I fit 29x2" tires in that thing, only about 4 mm of mud clearance IIRC, but 29x42's or something will fit great i figure!
enjoy the old big red dog.
