I got almost as much for the Syncros cranks as I did for the frame.

A guy in Germany bought the frame and a guy from Holland bought the Syncros cranks.

I probably regret selling the cranks the most - they kicked ass.

I guess it is 29er for me from now on. And the Surly Karate Monkey is probably the most common 29er hardtail out there right now - so there goes that argument IAB. ;)

so you are keeping the Monkey for now eh?

I am seriously considering a custom WaltWorks SS for my next bike purchase...

Yep. gotta go with the Monkey as it was affordable and it fits.

If only On-One would have made the Inbred 29er in a 16" frame from the get go. If they had, I would have gone that route for the luxury of having those sliding dropouts and the ability to run the bike as a SS or geared (in horizontal dropout mode).

Why a custom Waltworks vs. the multitude of 29er builders out there right now? I mean Walt makes nice frames, but you'll be waiting for about 5 months to get one, when there is probably someone out there who builds frames of equal or better quality for the same price or less and with less of a wait time.

they were 172.5mm Syncros Revolution cranks with a ti syncros bottom bracket!

the perfect length for me, light, and very stiff for their age. They were just well used and the paint had rubbed off considerably. I thought hard about getting them cleaned up and repainted, but had to pay bills instead. :dead:

I donno... I know a guy here with 2 WW bikes and they are sweet. However, I have been entertaining the thought of something else, perhaps a Willits or even a Ti Spicer...

Do you want a custom because you can't find bike large enough or do you want something special as far as the geometry goes?

More of a geometry issue... something that is specifically built for me would be cool.

I have a 10 year old Litespeed hardtail that kicks ass. I did replace the downtube graphics with a Milwaulkees Best Ice can though.
