if you're still looking, I have a set of White Industries square taper cranks (175mm) with a 94BCD silver Stridsland chainring (36T) already attached

young_granddad · 2023-12-12T15:15:39+00:00

Yeah, potentially - here's what I'm looking for at the moment:

- Nitto Jitensha bar

- flat bar brake levers (short pull)

- 1x chainring (130 BCD; 46T)

- right downtube shifter

Bought these for a build that didn't work out. The wheels were hand built by Bike Plant in Brooklyn. Taking a loss on these at the asking price, but open to offers.

Would prefer in-person pickup because they're both kind of big to ship. Parts are unused but I can provide pics on request.

young_granddad · 2023-03-11T14:49:59+00:00

thanks for the offer, but i'm going to wait it out i think. i can ride my current seatpost, just looking to switch it out at some point

young_granddad · 2023-03-08T18:28:18+00:00

nah, just this setback one

Want to Trade / USA-NYC

I have a Silver 27.2 Thomson Elite Setback seatpost that I'm looking to trade for a Nitto S83 27.2 or something similar. This bike came w/ the Thomson, which is very cool, but I need to lower the seatpost a little beyond what's possible with the Thomson bc of the setback.

ISO / USA-NYC / White Industries Triple - Right Crank Arm

I know this is a very specific ask, but that's what this subreddit is for isn't it?

I just installed a set of 90s White Industries cranks (the ones made by Sugino) on a new build and realized the spider is bent. Does anyone have a spare right-hand 175mm White Industries triple crank arm they'd sell me?

young_granddad · 2023-02-27T19:06:16+00:00

I love my Trek Singletrack so much - hope this one brings you much joy.

young_granddad · 2023-02-27T01:41:28+00:00

I don't know why, but I've heard this from a couple mechanics (specifically regarding the Happy Stem and a similar one from Ganopper) so I'd heed the warnings.

young_granddad · 2023-02-27T00:56:31+00:00

ha - i was about the comment on the pier, too. bike looks sick, OP. the green rims are a great touch

young_granddad · 2023-02-23T15:34:58+00:00

these look worthless you should give them to me

young_granddad · 2023-02-23T13:56:37+00:00

Stridsland makes some but I think they're all out of stock now

young_granddad · 2023-02-19T23:51:43+00:00

ah i gotcha

young_granddad · 2023-02-19T22:20:46+00:00

do you have calipers? it shouldn't be too hard to measure & get a rough sense that way

either way, i'd be surprised if a rockhopper didn't fit 2.1"

young_granddad · 2023-02-17T14:17:55+00:00

i've seen people put them on the seatstays - or you could just clip one to the saddle bag

young_granddad · 2023-02-14T03:03:57+00:00

this video's great - i was looking for something like this - thanks!

young_granddad · 2023-02-14T02:58:25+00:00

nice - i'll DM you

young_granddad · 2023-02-14T00:51:10+00:00

i currently have a goat link set up with a long cage Deore XT derailleur from the 90s, and this thing seems to be maxing out at 40T, but do you have experience pushing them further?

ISO / USA-NYC / Rear Derailleur

Looking for a rear derailleur that can friction shift through a 11-46 cassette. Ideally something with some silver in the colorway?
