I almost finished it (not pictured with brakes) Now I just have to install the rear brake as I need a longer line. Its a 97 SC Heckler w/Z1 Bam, its been all repowder coated with lots of new goodies. I'm hoping she'll ride the bike now Actually she's pretty stoked about it so we'll see

HOLY CRAP, that's really nice, B! Man that thing looks great built up.

 

[MMcG]

Wow - sharp! A beefed up superlight essentially!

But you still shoulda bought my Belair frame earlier this year.

How much did that powdercoat cost? Looks very nice Brian!

 

[JRB]

Good jorb

 

[JRB]

Does she not get a front brake too???

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I forgot you were there when I first got the frame & fork So you saw what originally looked like

Front brake went on last night, line for the rear was too short and didn't have the motovation to get the bleed kit out last night.

Yeah, wasn't it red?

 

[MMcG]

Any before photos Brian? Was it pretty scratched up?

A place down the street did it for me, got the frame, fork lowers, disc brake adaptor (not used cause I went with a different one) for $150, way cheep since its a pearl finish.

Wow - good deal.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

here are a few pics so I'd know where the stickers went, but you'll get the idea.

 

[MMcG]

wow - cool transformation - so in the end did the whole shebang stay within that budget you were trying to stay within?

Of course not :mumble: But still pretty cheap, I traded some old Hope brakes for the frame & fork

 

[blue]

There's a place not too far from here that will powdercoat for 50 bucks...I'm thinking of maybe doing in my Homegrown when I sell her...

 

[JRB]

I painted my Manitou Mars and it looks like ass. I want to pc it. What do you do about the bushings and what not Brian???

 

[stosh]

pics of your wife????





Anyway did you have to have that bomber rebuilt? I have the same one and it needs to be re-built.

I removed the seals and bushings and bought new ones.

I got the seals and bushings and did it myself.

Oh yeah, with or without clothes :heart: I have both:evil:

was it hard?

did you just go right to Marz?
I went thru this a while ago. Doing it myself may be a good winter project.

 

[stosh]

without - stoshu@gmail.com

 

[DLo]

Wow that looks good. You weren't kidding when you said it makes a bike look brand new. Wait till you see my bashed up swingarm though

 

[spookydave]

nice! smart way to go building up a nice used deal.
I work with a guy that spent a GRIP on a NEW superlight for his wife. Full xtr / chris king type of build. Had to have been 3K. She's rode it maybe 5 times in the past 3 years.
I bought my wife a Gary Fisher hard tail at the same time for about 300 bucks. She still likes it!

 

[TreeSaw]

Nice! I hope you and your wife has as much fun riding together and my hubby & I do!

 

[dhtahoe]

Just built my lady an 05 Heckler. So bring your wife with you next year and they can ride together.

Bri...
I jsut finished Denise's bike on Monday.
Intense 5.5 with a Manitou Minute spv air fork.
Maybe like my wife's bike, if Julie doesn't use hers, you can use it for a FS Dirtjumping bike.
Denise's XS (21in tt) fits me very similar to my Planet-X.
Plus, with Air shocks, all I have to do is pump them up a bit instead of having to get new springs like on a coil.

Oh.. pics to come tomorrow. I'm in Pleasanton right now.

 

[dh girlie]

Oh yeah, with or without clothes :heart: I have both:evil:

Right...god I can't wait to see what Julie does to you when I show her all the smack you talk about her online...

 

[JRB]

Right...god I can't wait to see what Julie does to you when I show her all the smack you talk about her online...

That will offend her about half as much as all of his sexual tendancies towards you.

 

[Rip]

Let me guess what the brakes are going to be......


Hopes.

You're so tough, I tell her most of the stuff I say. Julie is my total bud, if you can't be yourself to your spouse then thats not good.

 

[Joe Pozer]

I crumble under Julie's stare. She usually has me cleaning toilets on the weekend while all my friends are out riding.

:devil:
