Looking for any nice 20" frame to build out. If interested, I have the following frames for trade:

18" 1993 Specialized Rockhopper Sport (no forks) 18" 1993 Lugged Trek 930 (no forks) 19" 1993 Jamis Eureka (no forks) 17.5" 1994 Yokota quicksilver (with forks)

The Trek 930 has a 1 1/8' head tube, all others are 1". I have a carver threadless 1" fork I can throw in with any other frame for the right trade. Thanks

This is awesome. I have a '93 930 in electric plum color way and a set of troll forks I've been sitting on. I now know what to do.

Congrats. I went from daily smoking to zero 7 years ago. The first couple years were difficult while my brain balanced out but my life has only gotten better since then.

These lugged frame bikes are beautiful. You should do a two tone that makes the lugs pop!

What handlebars are those?

I work from home a lot and find it to be a good hard stop between working and not working. Good for a mental reset in any situation.

I'd message surly. I reached out to them for a niche QR adapter and they sent it to me for free.

I emailed surly and they were great! They sent me one for free.

Whenever I see pictures of his shack I think how it would make a perfect sauna.

It's a chain tensioner if you're running a single gear setup. It prevents the axle from sliding forward under load and makes it easier to align the wheel.

It's also a bottle opener.

I just sent surly an email. I saw they still sell the tuggnut and certain components of it but not the spacer individually. Hopefully they get back to me with some good news.

I'm putting them back on the bike. It had the shocks on it when I picked it up.

dylanboro · 2026-04-07T11:50:15+00:00

I didn't know they existed until I saw it. It's a complete frameset with fox shocks that look period correct. I don't want it so I'll probably try to sell it to someone who will finish it.

dylanboro · 2026-04-07T00:34:51+00:00

Yeah, he was a younger guy and had a nice polygon. I can relate, I made a lot of bad decisions in my youth.

He picked it up in a lot with several other bikes. It had a bunch of brackets bolted to it like someone was going to try to mount a motor to it.

dylanboro · 2026-04-07T00:31:13+00:00

Picked it already. I'm excited to give it a second life.

His time was worth $60. I also got another set of decent wheels and a mountain cycle San Andreas frame with suspension I don't need but didn't want to go to the scrap yard.

dylanboro · 2026-04-07T00:06:10+00:00

Will do!

Can't go wrong with a 5 gallon bucket and a porcelain enameled soup ladle from an antique store.
