Fair enough - you got 3 months to think about it
(e.g. before the next batch)Recommend me a steel HT
- Thread starter Bicyclist
- Start date
(e.g. before the next batch)
I know on my BREW that the hanger is brazed on so if it breaks all you need to do is heat it up and take it off and then braze a new one on. Much less invasive than cutting and welding.
btw -- bent the crap out of it. Bent it back using a big cresent and still working fine.
Do they still make those breakable derailer bolts?
Where can you get those cromags?Do you buy them straight from chromag or from a dealer?If a dealer then who?I would love to get one.
Are you in Canada or US? their site says Atlantic Bicycles (www.atlanticbicycle.com) in Florida is a distrubutor. but they might sell direct?
get in touch with them and/or check their web site for more info http://www.chromagbikes.com/dealers_links.html
I'll do that.Thanks bro.
Exactly, not much to worry about, no need for the extra bits, and less hanger flex. Plus everyone knows a steel frame will self destruct if any part of it is aluminum.
Wow! Sharp bike!
Cool dropouts too!
Cool dropouts too!
yup...it's definitely a beauty! I never though I would get another HT, but this one sold me!
Be sure to share plenty of photos Mr. Born Again Newbie.
Nice guys, and they build nice motorcycles too.
Wow, that Cro-Mag is Really nice!
I'm glad you guys like the Mustang. The first production run wil be ready around Christmas. Singlespeed completes will be available at around $1500 and an X7 complete should be around $1700. Frames will retail for $800 with one set of dropouts (fixed or SS). Additional drops will be about $75 or so. After swapping from the 63mm Sid to a 100mm Reba I am really enjoying pushing the bike to the absolute limits on the descents. We designed the bike around a 4" travel fork, but I am oldschool enough that I wanted to try it out first at my old 71.5degree favorite.

I'm liking both the Chromag and the Sinister a lot. Problem is that I want to try 29. The enticing thing about the Fisher is I work at a Fisher shop so I could get it kinda cheap. I can also get a Monocog dirt cheap. I've got some choices but it looks like 29 is where I'm going.
Thanks for the help, everyone!

Wow that Gary Fisher looks familiar......oh wait, just like the $200 Nashbar 853 frame!

Yep, both are orange and made of steel tubes! Totally the same!
(not sure if you were insinuating that they came out of the same factory or something...check the tube intersections and cable routing...)
Orange P7 complete or frame only;

No I was attempting to be funny, sorry didn't come across right.
The Fisher is sweet. I just don't see Orange, steel frames very often.
But then again, I don't look hard for them.

Bump since (much) later I'm going through this topic again.
Acadian, did you end up with your Chromag? If so, how do you like it for its intended use?
I'm sort of debating a steel bike (like the Chromag) for substantially more money, or a Stumpjumper Comp HT through my EP. I need to start training, and who knows, I may end up doing some racing.
