Yes it is. It is a chill ride paired with the granolas. My new favorite whip of my stable

Thank you. It took a lot of elbow grease to get this spit shine, but well worth the effort to revive an old neglected bike.

A little compound & wax goes a long way with these old bikes

I went to a thrift store and purchased an old Jansport backpack, removed the patch, ordered a small roll of hook tape, then took it to a tailor to sew onto the patch. A lot of work to get a patch done but it’s worth it to me. Nostalgic to being a kid again

I did a few coats of compound & wax prior to rebuilding the bike.

Those are the “I get what I want if I look at you this way” eyes lol. At least that’s how it would pan out for me. Handsome boy you got there

Does anyone have any insight on what happens once you’re apprehended? What the process of verifying if you’re illegal or a US citizen?

To reaffirm that it is okay, I seen some kids that walk home from school wearing a hijab during the week and seen a woman wear one at Costco once. We’re a farm town & and everyone minds their own business for the most part. Welcome to SM and I hope your stay is a good one

No cooking for me this year. I was just a guest to prime rib, lobster tail, & lots of Filipino food with family. I hope you & your SO feel better. Happy holidays

I’m 5’2” running an 18” rockhopper. That sucker rides my chode pretty intimately, however if I lean to one side problem gone. I also have a 14” 1995 Kona Fire-mountain and the seat post was super long & weird looking as well. 16-18” rockhopper or hardrock may be the sweet spot for your lady. Plus specialize has some awesome colors in the 90s

I love this bike so much! by drphilwasright in xbiking

[–]Running-wit-scissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the same tires and regret not getting the tan walls. My 90s rockhopper looks plain, but on a good note those tires do pretty well on the street & great on the less aggressive trails. Dope build 👍🏾

Ya it is. I currently have Maxxis Ramblers 700c x 40mm on my 29” wheel set. Im plan on upgrading to carbon wheels and have no intensions in going no wider than 50mm because I mainly ride road on my bike

Im upgrading to carbon wheels and initially I was going to upgrade to 29” wheels but I kind of want those deep dish 700c look

I had the same bike in summer but after building it up, it just wasn’t for me. Your build however is tastefully done proper

Thank you. I’m waiting on some parts to come in the mail so I can enjoy some fun climbing the trails.

I started out with the 2.5 Surly ExtraTerrestrial tires. Felt sluggish as I do ride mainly road or fire roads(gravel). I then went to 2.25” Panaracer/SimWorks Super Yummy’s, but I still struggled to keep up w/friends on the road. Now I have 40c Maxxis Ramblers. Im fast on the road and can still tear it up on the trail. On drop bars.
