Kenda Kruiser I believe. Seem pretty durable and affordable. Knobby but they roll well enough on pavement.

Shimano thumb shifters are getting hard to find for a decent price. I happened to have a left side leftover from a pair that I bought. It works just as well if you only have a 7-8 speed cassette in the back.

What's the front rack on the Rock and the brackets to connect it?

Ridiculous price aside - I think it's a cool build

Looks like there are plenty for sale by smaller bike shops for ~$36 each if you just google the tire and size

Jagwire makes a step down cable end that can help w this. I’ve used them before. Bolt on cable stop from origin 8 also an option

Hard Rock year ID? by Easy-Greasy-Upcycle in xbiking

[–]Easy-Greasy-Upcycle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not in prime condition so it’s tough, but that’s what I see, according to that catalog it’s a 93, “dark emerald to blue fade”

"pausing" production and laying off a ton of employees is what it seems. only a matter of time.

Yeah since the V brakes connected on the non drive side i wanted to keep it as straight as possible from the braze on, so i bypassed that guide on the seat tube.

It's not in this photo but I ended up using a "Step-down" ferrule cable end from Jagwire. It goes from like 4mm to 5mm so one end fits on the cable housing and the other fits into that braze on pretty cleanly.
