So I've decided to switch my beater rig over to disc brakes.... 99% just for sh*ts and giggles as the spare caliper I have is a pretty mediocre Tektro Iox that was pretty mistreated. But it'll look more bad*ss, and at the end of the day that's more important than stopping.... right guysss??

Remember the S-Works frame I posted? Well it's built up and ready to roll for next summer's race season! My dad surprised me when I was at school by getting the missing parts so I could build her up. The acceleration and responsiveness compared to my 30+ pound Trance is unreal.

Off-road I'm too focused on not crashing to realize I'm doing physical activity :D

I never knew the older scalpels had the suspension set up like that. That's a nice looking ride

Riding on the road is fun but I dig getting on gravel roads or exploring a trail in the woods.  :drool:

Thanks! I do not have it anymore  >:(  But I do get to admire it from time to time because I sold it to a riding buddy. It was a nice bike but I get the new bike itch every 3-4 years and had to sell it to fund the next.

I know what you mean,i regret selling some of my old bikes though as some ive had sincecthe early 90's, they become like a trusty companion over time,getting a new bike for me takes me back to Christmas mornings as a young boy,a great feeling  :tu:

And did it add up? It shouldn't, it should weight less or else only entropy holds the thing together :ahhh

It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

You will have to decode that to me. I am guessing it has something to do with Pizza or Beer or both  :D

I dig the color and the 1x setup! I may go that way for a future bike.

It's a SS.

It was a classic style 3x8 when I bought it (used) and the chain was stretched and the cogs were worn. Since I had to replace a lot of parts I had it set up as SS until I got all the replacement parts. It's a more modern 2x10 now. Wished I kept it the way it was when I got it. One of those things I regret.
