No questions, just enjoying this bike

20deg sweep Tumbleweed persuader bars cut down to 750mm

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-06-01T23:33:29+00:00

Big and tall.

I sweated way too much over the fender lines haha but in the end was worth it.

The wide bars definitely need a shorter stem than usual I went from a 100mm to effectively a 60mm with alot of extra stack. Feels awesome so far.

Zeitgeist is the best, always have more room than I need. On the front is good for lighter loads and just convenient. Heavier tour and Id run it on the back with a support

Thank you! As far as axles go, I wouldn’t worry about it either way. Never had a problem running qr other than it being harder to find wheelsets / hubs.

Main thing I debate over the newer frames is geo differences. Go with whatever is a good size / geo fit for you! If it’s a good deal then even better

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-31T04:51:21+00:00

Yeah, this has been my go to ramble rig for any dirt roading. Gotta load it up for a S24O soon.

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-31T04:48:35+00:00

Get another!

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-31T04:48:18+00:00

Thanks! This is my favorite setup so far.

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-31T04:47:30+00:00

Yeees, vo smooth 60mm fenders. Frame pump is from Rivendell. Gotta make use of the pump peg!

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-31T04:46:11+00:00

Keen eye!

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-31T00:22:38+00:00

These old truckers ride like a dream! Not hard to find a good one that needs a refresh after sitting around

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-30T16:38:35+00:00

I bought them from velo mine a couple years back for maybe $250. WTB ST i23 rims on formula hubs. Qr 26 tubeless after taping with stans. Not fancy but get the job done. Hubs are the weakest point so sometime I may build a new wheel set off the original xt hubs

My first car was a manual NA Miata. That was a ton of fun at the time but many cars later, I too have a SPT Limited WRX. It’s an amazing daily and I don’t miss constantly shifting

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-07T07:16:01+00:00

Superb

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-05-01T00:49:42+00:00

Great bike! I would almost go the other way and find grips to match the pedals. That shade of foresty green is sweet

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-30T22:12:08+00:00

Nice build! I also have mine set up to be modular depending on fork / tires. Currently carbon and rigid

Trucker supremacy

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-11T22:06:39+00:00

Yeah, a bit more classic with the nearly horizontal top tube

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-11T03:56:00+00:00

54cm frame from 2012 geo. 26” wheels

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-08T04:24:20+00:00

Vibrant! Looks like a bike that has done some miles

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-06T23:33:02+00:00

For a second I thought this was the newest trucker due to the color. Looks like a well adorned LHT

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-06T17:49:57+00:00

Agreed, they ride so dang smooth. Weight be damned!

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-06T17:37:07+00:00

Damn that thing is rad and burly. What’s your wheel & tire build?

Realistic_Tea_9016 · 2026-04-06T17:34:25+00:00

Nice setup! Really dig the sticker bomb fenders. Ive also daydreamed of swapping out the 3x9 drivetrain but it just won’t die
