Hey Josh...
- Thread starter Prettym1k3
- Start date
pics!
I think it will be here next week (hopefully). Then I need to source down a build kit that I can afford... doh.
Secret for now. =P
Once I have it in my hands I will post some pictures. Does anyone want to donate some parts? =]

Josh... I have a few things you might want for REALLY cheap. I was going to keep them as spare parts as they certainly don't look like they're in great condition, but they are in perfect working order.
Might have an old X-9 Shifter, X-7 derailer, and a somewhat used 980 cassette you might want.
I'll see what else I have laying around also. It's kinda' poopy that I just sold my Hayes brakes. I'd have given you a super-deal on those bad boys.
What's the BB shell size? 73mm? Or 83mm?

Haha you got it. I will be a proud new owner of a Tomac Primer 220 very soon.
Scott - Looks like you might have a lot of things I could use... even the correct seatpost size. How much are you looking for everything? Donations? You can PM me =]
Mike - 83mm bb spacing. Might be into that shifter and cassette =]
I would be so pumped to get this bike together quick!

Ok. Wow. I think the bike might come together MUCH quicker than I thought it would thanks to all of you guys. Seriously thank you.
I think I owe you guys some beers! Mike I will get you a drink or sandwich of your choice =]
But wow. Let me compile a list of things I should have taken care of and things I still need.

Josh... you're in luck. My Holzfellers are 83mm w/ a BB.
I'll give them to you for cheap.
I have exactly 1 ride on them.

Did you find a set of gravity lites? =]
Not yet... but if you want my Holzfellers for whatever I pay for Gravity Lights, I can make that happen.
Ok here is my list:
Need:
-Wheels
-Tires
-Ghetto tubeless set up (I just need bmx tubes now)
-Fork
-Headset
-Bars
-Stem
-Cassette
-Cranks/BB/bash/sprocket
-Pedals
-Seatpost (I believe I have a spare Thompson at my house somewhere)
-Shifter/derailer (Todd might be donating a lx/xt set! Sweet!)
-Seat (Todd might also have me covered there)
-Brakes (I may have a old set of saints laying around)
-Rotors
-Chain (I might have a spare slightly used one somewhere)
Is there anything else I am missing? As of right now my budget is close to $0. Next month might be a little different. Well see. Scott and Mike, I will let you know as soon as I have some cash. I should be able to get some parts off of you guys soon. =] Might resort to more manual labor for my parents and also finally cashing in my change collection from the past few years.

We all know that Josh wouldn't settle for anything less than a 40 with black lowers...
But wait, isn't the new frame going to be white? Hmmm... new Fox 40 with white lowers would look so sexy that I would be cool by association just for knowing you... because you'd be cool my association just for knowing your bike... Which is, hence, cool by association for having a Fox 40 with white lowers.

lol nice Mike. Well if that happened it basically would mean all of you would be cooler by knowing my bike. =]
Brian, thanks for the offer. I might hit you up for it. =]

This is true.
The question is... can I touch the new bike?

I have a 70mm stem and my old boxxers too.
Josh,
If you're gonna' run Shimano I've got a set (front/rear) of 2006 Deore shifters that have never been used.

Might be interested. =]
I just got my shipping confirmation! It has been shipped! Oh man.... Oh man!!!!111oneoneone

Get the problem solvers. They're a tad bit heavier than the E13 cups, but they're way cheaper.
On a side note, that new skate park over at Lake Cunningham in East San Jose is AMAZING. I've been taking my rollerblades (yes, I'm serious) out there about once or twice a week for the past two weeks. It would be fun to bring our light travel bikes out there during BMX hours. I'm gonna' ask about mountain bikes next time I'm out there.

Dang... where did all of my awesome SENATE clothing go?
Oh snap!Mike is multi talented,but i gotta let ya know I still have my Bauer civiltys with 59mm wheels and grindplates!Maybe I can show you my 360 coolguy grab sometime.lol
Haha aggressive roller blades are awesome. I used to play hockey then I got into street stuff. I broke my tail bone a couple times.
I have my pair of solomons in my parents shed.
Maybe someday I will bust them out.
As for parts for the Primer, it is confirmed my budget is at $0. I'm pretty bummed right now.

Oh man oh man oh man! The frame just got here... SO SICK!!!
pics you fool! Pics!
Joshy,
You let me know on a Thursday when you want to build up the bike... I'll make sure my favorite people at the shop are working, and we'll go ahead and you and I can slap her together in about an hour.
If only I could order some Industry Nine wheels, I'd sell you my old but in GREAT condition WTB Dual-Duty rims for dirt cheap.

I just talked to Rich and I might be able to get some help on a set of wheels. Well see. And Mike, YES. It will be built on a Thursday. =] That would be totally awesome.
My camera battery is dead. =[

So I snapped a few with my phone =] Sorry if they aren't that great. This thing is straight up beefy in all the right ways...
WOW man. Frickin' SEXY! Looks SO good!
Thursday it is. Just let me know when you get the parts, and you and I will piece it together.
The Stan's tubeless route is all on you, though. I don't mess with that stuff.
What headset are you going to run?
I assume you'll run a Gamut or something on the bike. Run a standard BB mount, though. The ISCG mounts can break off at times, and get stripped out.

Yeah the ghetto tubeless is pretty basic. I will take care of the wheels before we put it together.
As for the headset, I think for now I will run the 1.5 to 1 1/8 reducer headset. I can get a decent deal on the sunline one.
