new monkey commuter

Got some conti 47mm commuter tyres and some fleegle bars coming. It's a bit of a tank but a bit of fun.

Really like the black niner and crosscheck previous posts. I always wondered what a black niner would look like. And now I know. And know I want one.

Cabin Fever Project 2011!

My first mtb single-speed. I've noodled around on a s/s 'cross bike a fair amount but this thing really reminds me of my first bikes, wind in my face, huge grin on my face, zipping around the neighborhood without a care in the world!

Now the snow needs to go and I'll put my wrenching skills to the test!

Have you had much time on that Misfit fork?

I like the geometry, it's great for aggresive riding.
Currently 32x18 which is too heavy for me but I will change to 32x20 as soon as I get the cog.

I am gonna change to wider bar soon and the tires 2.40 front 2.25 rear.
How do you like those CST Cambers? I have entertained the thought of getting them but there arent many reviews of them out there.

Actually I use camber just for on-road and a little bit off-road since it's only 2.10 and doesn't have good grip for mud/wet terrain.

I am not gonna recommend you this tire, the thread wear off fast.

As soon I have bigger inner tube I'll change to cheyene 2.40 front and caballero 2.25 rear, my terrain is mostly dry sharp rocks. This two combo is nice since it's also light on asphalt road.

I bought this cheaply from CL as a first SS and fell in love with the bike and SS in general.

As i can't afford to build a 29er all in one go I plan to start from the front and work back:

1. Carbon 9er fork on order through LBS
2. looking for 29er front wheel on ebay/CL

I'll ride it 69 for a bit while I:

3. do a bit of gradual "carbonsing" all over, punctuated with some Ti nuts and bolts

unfortunately:

4. buying a frame is a long way off. perhaps 2nd hand moots might be affordable by then!
5. 29er back wheel to sign and seal it.


then I can take all of my current parts and put them back together again to use as a back up.

It'll take me a few yearsmind you...
