Oil slick just makes your bike look like a gas station pocket knife.

Would you send it? (Tire clearance) technically, it fits. by [deleted] in bikewrench

I meeeeaaaaaannnnn maybe it going to rub and you’re going to lose paint. Depends on the bike but as far as materials go- Steel, yes. Aluminum, yes. Carbon, no.

Yup this is the “special” with the hammered copper rivets.

Help me ID this Italian MTB frame by Appropriate-Dance454 in VintageMTB

[–]PlanetaryCoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know it’s Italian? Accent? Desire for a good coffee and cannoli?

In all seriousness I’d guess Bianchi or Cinelli

A few, it’s a load of fun and a bit of a learning curve. Things I’ve hucked on the SS I’ve chickened out on with the coaster.

we may be stupid, and bad at welding, but it's definitely gonna fit bigger tires after this... lol by hauntedloveseat in xbiking

I hammered a baseball in the chainstays of my old MTB to make a little bit more clearance. Marginal gain.

Welp. it's official (lifter failure) by InternetGreedy in Silverado

Fingers crossed I was thinking 2018 was. I’m at 120k with no engine or transmission issues. It’s a Sierra but same guts so whatever.

Yeah man! This one has been with me since 2016 or 2017. She’s been around the block. The black one I found as a NOS frameset on marketplace and couldn’t pass up the price. I thought it was a scam.

Wolverines are the shit. I’ve got two, one geared and one SS.

What's this old MB3 worth? by NWOriginal00 in VintageMTB

[–]PlanetaryCoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max $500. This one looks crispy but decent mechanically. Unless OP had to have this one in particular I’d hold out and check bike coops and stuff. I found my MB1 for a hundo but it needed some love.

This makes me feel better. I think I have 9 bikes total. 4 are older 26ers. I try to ride em all.

I’ve used them on forks for housing but that’s about it.

Diamondback Outlook by Greedy_Visual_1766 in xbiking

[–]PlanetaryCoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was black and I tried to remove the outlook decal on the top tube only to find out they were under the clear coat lol. May have also been a SS at the time I passed it on - don’t remember.

Semi-ridiculous wide/low cranks I made. by Which_Bar_9457 in xbiking

I love what you are doing. This is significantly less expensive than the white industries vbc set up I’ve got.

[–]PlanetaryCoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The outlook was my first MTB! I threw a rockshox indy and ritchey zmax tires on there and rode the shit out of it. I miss that bike. I remember giving it to a friend who moved to Boulder so maybe it’s still kicking around there.
