Cool - Julie mailed it Wednesday or Thursday. I guess the snow storm between here and Phoenix slowed it down.stinkyboy said:
I just got a call from the LBS. They had trouble getting the right bolt for the built in seatpost clamp, the front derailler needed shimed, and the bash guard is too big. I may have a big ring for it, but it should be finished by this weekend.
Adult helmet anyone?

Well, we finally have a complete bike!
I'm waiting to hear from my contact when I can deliver the bike to the group of mentally handicapped adults who will be sharing the bike and get some photos.
Once again, thanks to everybody who donated parts and postage!

awesome 
Hey that thing looks great!
Hey monkeys, the woman I spoke with regarding the recipients of the new RM bike has been a no show. The last time we spoke, I showed her the bike, and I think she just wanted to take it. I explained that many people have donated to the creation of this bike, and I want to take photos to share. She told me she would talk to her boss to arrange the delivery and let me know. I dunno if it was a hustle, but I am now searching for a new person(s) to happily put this bike to work.
Sorry to take so long on this project.

You don't need to apologize, good on you for doing what you can to make sure it goes to someone who needs it. Seriously, that bike is almost too nice...stinkyboy said:
Hey peeps, I have not forgotten about all of the monkey effort that went into this new RM bike, but I still have not found a suitable candidate. I am now asking for help from Phoenix area monkeys to help with this search. I know several people who want the bike, but no one who can't afford a bike and would be absolutley thrilled to receive it like the kids from Christmas were. A less fortunate adult or high school student would prolly be perfect.
It's an 18" frame, and comes with a Bell XC helmet. I'll pick up a lock for it too.
Lemme know.

I think I may have a spring at home. I'll check, but PM me in case I forget. Pretty sure I do though.Nick said:way cool.
Looks sweet! I have no suggestions as to where to donate it.
But if you do a round 3 RM bike let me know, I have most of a medium Cannondale super-v 400 that has to go.

I'll check around and see if I can find a candidate....
Well the latest RM bike finally has a new home. I again contacted a woman named Joanna who runs a program called Church on the Streets here in Phoenix and asked if she had someone that would love a mountain bike. She knows a couple that live in a shelter who have a son name Steven and said he would be perfect. Say no more. Sunday, after church we surprised him with the bike. He said "Wow! Thanks!" about 30 times, and then asked what kind it was, and I told him it's a custom made Ridemonkey Nashbar.
Steven and Joanna:
A boy and his bike: (I gave him a multitool to make adjustments) He seemed to like the term "dialed in", but who doesn't?
Ready to roll:
Thanks again to everybody who donated parts, built wheels, etc. There's another very happy child out there because of you monkeys!
