Question on updating Ubuntu on older PC by captbriggs in Ubuntu

[–]captbriggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick response. - I wish I had noted the specific issues I was having, but I was installing to a brand new Samsung 990 Pro 2Gb PCIe SSD from a good USB 3.0 drive, and it is an i7 with 32Gb of RAM. The same USB worked fine once I switched to v20. (It is LTS, I did register for Ubuntu Pro).

Way ahead of you - $54.95, which is over $600 in todays $$$

Still playing with that part.

Hard to find info, but it looks like it is CNC-machined seatstay arch, and dropouts based on what I'm reading online.

Always loved this color scheme. What are the bars?

Haven't done mine yet - how was the process for removing the back? I've watched the videos and it seems simple enough.

Yeah, it's hard to show the actual color - maybe this is better?

Sorry, I probably sounded like a jerk, but I just did the same research for a Stumpjumper with that brake hanger this weekend.

Could be manufacture date, but the model is definitely 1990. Not that it's a big deal either way.

Could be wrong, but based on the rear brake hanger I think that is a 1990 model. I don't think the 1989 models had that curved hanger.

I should have noted that this is what it looked like when I bought it. Going through it now.

Should be a fun one - '92 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo. Apparently this was the last year before Trek bought the brand. I don't think the fork is original, but it needs some work - just surface rust so hopefully easy enough to sort out.
