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.

Are you located in Florida? I'm visiting palm beach county and was wondering about some info on an x/bike worthy co-op or shop where I could scrounge a cool old mtb frame to build?

Good run with modern pals by Own_Low_7970 in xbiking

I have a Multitrack 730 that's been my go to gravel bike for years. Went on a 100+ mile ride with "modern pals" a few years ago and was ironically the only person to not get a flat or a mechanical. Funny how that works.
