its all good... its great to see someone willing to help out so much...Reactor said:Go ahead and donate the headset.I don't mind at all.
I'm sorry, I get over-enthusiastic, I'm not trying to hog the glory or be obnoxious. I had a lot of parts around the garage I donated to the first bike, and then some upgrades to my bikes over Christmas pushed out a butt-load more. I just wanted to let Stinkyboy know it's available if he needs it. I don't want to stop anyone else from contributing, if anyone has a part I've offered please feel free to contribute it. I'll fill in for as many parts as I can at the end when the building starts.
Ridemonkey Bike #2
- Thread starter stinkyboy
- Start date
I loosely cobbled together what we have so far, and we are sitting with a sweet new ride! There are no graphics on the frame, so I've come up with a little sumpin, sumpin
for the decal shop to make including ridemonkey.com on both sides of the top tube, as long as Adam gives his blessing.
Here's what we still need:
9 speed chain
Bar
Grips (I have some yellow Oury's, but this hot red bike ain't feeling them...)
V Brakes
Shifters
Tires (I have 2 red panaracers that look great, but one has a torn knob, so I may buy a new one, or maybe the Hutch's will be nice too)
Deraillers
Lock
Helmet
I think I have a headset too, so if Reactor wants to put his press to good use, let me know.
Thanks everyone!

There are a couple tires on the way with that fork, a weirwolf and an Intense xc tire, both are in decent shape.

...slightly used 9 speed chain (pc990 or 970 I think)
...two hutchenson pythons(new) or two tioga's(oem take-offs)
...set of LX shifters (working but quite used)
...Cables, plenty of cables.
...the Weyless carbon bar (used but in good condition)
...some lock on grips Black with silber lock rings(used but good) missing the plastic endcaps. I'm going to try to pick some up tonight.
I'll pitch in cash for some of the other stuff, or pick it up at the performance store, maybe mail order it.
I have a headset press and some other tools, I'll gladly donate time to putting the bike together.
This weekend is pretty packed. I have the 24HTOP preride Saturday, and probably family stuff Sunday.stinkyboy said:
Next weekend is wide open as of now. I usually get up pretty early, so just about any time is fine.
stinkyboy said:
O.K. I can build Saturday any time after normal weekend humans are awake, if you want I need to take the dog to the vet early, but be ready after that. If you can drop the parts at the Federal Courthouse (4th ave and Washington), I'll put them in my truck and build the bike up and bring it back next week, let me know and I'll give PM you my work number.
Edit: Not to say I wouldn't enjoy the co-building the bike with you over the weekend, just offering to do it myself if you have better things to do. It's your gig, let me know what you want to do.
Glad to help out a little - props to you and Reactor, this is a good thing.stinkyboy said:

It's Stinky's thing, I'm just pitching in what I can. Props should go to Stinky.
Hey, I'm not taking the blame!Reactor said:
It's a Ridemonkey thing.
Hey kids, we almost have a new bike:
I spoke with a woman last night who found out what we're doing and she has asked for a bike that could be shared between the several adult mentally handicapped people her company employs. Sounds perfect to me. I will find out more and let everyone know.
Brakes have shipped.
again, super sorry for the delay in getting them out
again, super sorry for the delay in getting them out
Bike is looking good and that really does sound perfect! Awesome stuff Stinky, I can't think of a better way to recycle all the bike parts that are sitting in every monkey's stash gathering dust.stinkyboy said:
Where the hell have you been?H8R said:
Got grips or an adult helmet or a lock?
Actually I will take anything as long as it's not damaged.
I think I will throw on a 31.8 bar and stem I have on this, since I know it's going to be ridden by adults too.

Lemme look tonight. I unloaded a bunch of stuff a few months ago at a garage sale, but there's still a bucket of fun in there.
Maybe even some purple ano stuff!

Do you need a bottom bracket? Those cranks look square. If so - I have a UN72 68 x 113, I think is the measurement.

Stinkyboy,
Are you ready to finish building yet?
I've still got the parts I offered earlier, I'll be around part of the weekend, but 24HTOP is coming up the weekend of the 18th and I'll be out of town the whole weekend.
