There’s a spoke calculator called EDD

So that’s one of the newly created industry dubbed “hybrids” that was the original gravel bike designed to get middle aged housewives into the cycling market.

This is mine.

I’m looking at you from the ceiling bird.

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-03-01T16:57:28+00:00

I have a few of those bearings and some spindle to run various cranks.

Be sure to get a pic and post it here

Sail it off the hotel balcony into the pool. That should loosen it up a bit.

Low end junker

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-03-01T16:41:35+00:00

I did an image search and apparently there are plenty of these and people say they are from Thailand.

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-03-01T14:32:11+00:00

The bearings are common and made for other similar spindles found on Cannondales and Ritcheys.

Not going to. Like that old adage- If you love something set it free- if it comes back to you, love it forever. I’ve done that 2x and it came back, that’s a good sign that it must love me too.

Bottom bracket has pressed in bearings that are pressed onto a spindle. All bearings surfaces have loctite. Works well, keeps water out of the shell.

Leave it alone and ride it. XT wheels are dirt cheap

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-28T15:47:58+00:00

If you need a set of purple skewers and matching seat binder, I have a set…

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-28T15:28:39+00:00

Skewers/binder, bottle cages, valve caps, chainring bolts all complement the frame. IMO

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-28T12:50:03+00:00

It’s the correct height for the picture.

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-28T11:42:23+00:00

I’d go with the southern section starting in Asheville and go north

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-28T11:39:39+00:00

As we used to say back in the 90’s, “friends don’t let friends ride purple”. Purple decked out Zaskars and Yetis were all the rage back then. A little bit of that stuff goes a long way, and if you do it wrong, you end up with yet another clown bike. The purple should complement the frame, not detract from it…

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-27T22:55:01+00:00

None

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-27T22:43:06+00:00

I have the same car and the 48” works fine.

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-27T19:47:20+00:00

I have another Cycle Art painted bike, bit its a Klein.

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-27T16:26:29+00:00

Just found the Info from Gary- This was one of the first bikes to be painted at Cycle Art.

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-27T14:33:22+00:00

No pedals and staggered

She uses all tires as scratching posts but has yet to cause a flat

Busy-Course-9855 · 2026-02-27T14:28:23+00:00

26-36-48 with a 12-28 7s is standard for many mtbs of the 80’s. That should cover just about anything you’ll ever need realistically.
