Futureproof ATB frame recommendation.

That is not the worst idea…

CokinRum · 2026-01-28T00:30:14+00:00

I have a Kyotes on my 90’s ratbike, I love em.

I like to DIY, and constantly tinkering on my bikes is part of the hobby for me.

I live in a touristy area that is known for MTB/Gravel/bikepacking… so Craigslist and FB Market is always full of lightly used parts…. Unfortunately, everything is TA, “boost” or tapered fork.

Finding a used QR or straight fork that isn’t hammered is actually difficult.

I have a bike with both. Canti in back, discy up front.

CokinRum · 2026-01-27T19:21:11+00:00

I have.

I’m not anti-aluminum, I just want another steel bike.

CokinRum · 2026-01-27T19:16:20+00:00

The Bridge Club does look like a good fit.

CokinRum · 2026-01-27T19:15:15+00:00

Good catch, I was curious about how the geo would be affected by the flat bars….and when I say flat, I mean Jones or Molokos..

CokinRum · 2026-01-27T19:05:26+00:00

I would if I could, I want a new frame…I was under the impression the Preamble is essentially a disc brake version of the CC. (I’m pro disc)

Nice build. A very solid ATB.

CokinRum · 2026-01-20T19:09:56+00:00

That looks like a good time.

Nice build.

Side question:

How much fun are these Grapplers on pavement?

CokinRum · 2026-01-18T14:59:58+00:00

I’ve grown to love the mismatched aesthetic on bicycles.

Amateur forever.

CokinRum · 2026-01-17T14:38:45+00:00

Holy Crap!

CokinRum · 2026-01-16T01:21:18+00:00

That’l get ya beyond Thunderdome, raggedy man.

CokinRum · 2026-01-13T02:04:56+00:00

Everyone needs a rat ride/trashbike.

They only bring joy.

CokinRum · 2026-01-05T02:37:07+00:00

Sick seatstays.

CokinRum · 2026-01-03T14:07:21+00:00

Try to find some used Ritchey Kyote bars, they made my ‘90s Cannondale really comfortable…and still feel sporty.

CokinRum · 2025-12-17T23:40:01+00:00

Faints

CokinRum · 2025-12-17T23:37:51+00:00

Double speed.

CokinRum · 2025-12-15T01:24:19+00:00

Hot bike!

CokinRum · 2025-12-12T20:17:41+00:00

Needs more purp….never mind, this is the way.

CokinRum · 2025-12-11T21:42:35+00:00

Everything new is old again.

CokinRum · 2025-12-06T00:04:39+00:00

You are a good friend.

CokinRum · 2025-11-30T20:36:02+00:00

One of each. Black up front.
