well its some sort of combination of dirt bike and trail bike,its quite long and low,and aggressive steering,has 130mm marzocchi z series fully adjustable front fork,26" mavic 321 front wheel with xt hub,rear one is 24" and on magura hub,xt rear sprockets,xtr derailleur and sram´s trigger swithch,and one extra bit on gear cable,to make shifts easier.i sawd off the rm brake studs off the frame and powdercoated it.has 36 teeth blackspire front sprocket,and aircraft aluminium bash ring,truvativ hussefelt chain guide,truvativ cranks and bb,and long spiked flat pedals,oversize bar.its ancent frame...from 1999 or so,planet x brand,i cant recall the model of frame.brake only on rear hub,its some shimano deore mechanical with 180mm disc.not the finest,lightest or most expensive but takes trails easily and doesnt mind any abusive driving in the woods.jumps good too.
im goin to turn it into single speed as soon as i have time to install 17t sprocket and spacers to rear hub,and throw away derailleurs etc.
not fixed,ill just bolt the single speed kit into hub i have now.i have fixed gead campagnolo too,made in cyclo cross style.

Quote from: micky d on June 26, 2008, 09:05:35 AMI love the Cannondales mate Thanks. I really need to get something that is more practical for tooling around town.I'm probably going to be moving out to the countryside soon though, so it may not be worth it.
