My new hardtail. It is sweet. I built it up today. I just finsihed test riding it during a thunderstorm. I had fun. Instigator gave me his old frame. I felt I had to represent and build up something good. I am pleased. I hope he will too. Thanks brother.....jdcamb

Nice car.. er, bike! I like building up bikes, they just keep on looking better and better as you build until they are done. My hardtail though is a different story. Its a complete bike right now, just I'm swapping parts out for better stuff, new brakes this weekend (upgrade from Hayes mech. to Magura hydro).

Looks like a bike ready for the trails. :monkey:

Deore disc hubs to Wheelsmith straight gauge 14 spokes to brass nips to Sun Rhino light rims. Nothiing special. They are machine built but I backed off the tension, lubed them up, and retensioned them. Good to go....jdcamb

Nice Nice Nice Jim!

Those Eureka frames are sweet!

I almost bought a Eureka back when I bought my Marin - probably should have, but the LBS sales guy I dealt with was a major jerk so I walked away.

I'd like a fork like that to put back on my Marin - I rode it rigid last night road riding and off curbs and some easy urban stuff and my wrists and back are sore this a.m.:(

Maybe Instigator has an old fork he's not using. ;) :D :devil:
