Who made the Hammerhead bashrings back in the day with the chain link bottle opener?

Russell - and they were called "city park condoms!"

Wait, is this like PC Parts Picker except for bikes?  Very kool.  🙃

Sorry - also - live in 620/183 area of NW austin.

I either do a blow torch, or put into the oven at 400 for an hour to bake shit off. Then sand with 200 grit to "reset" the wear pattern. Works about 75% of the time.

Is the longer black post a 27.2?
Widest set of drop bars in the bunch?
Where are you located?

Unfortunately, all posts are smaller that 27.2. Most bars are 440 to 460. All but one are 31.8 stem clamp. All have varying degrees of sweep, support, etc.

Sure is. Do you want it as-is, or with mods. Your choice

PIF Specialized Epic. (Donated to me by Sugar-n-Spice from Mojo). My kids outgrew it quickly.

Spec: Size Small
Rear suspension has a very slight play (you can feel it when picking the bike up, but cannot feel it when riding)

Fox Float 80RL

Avid Juicy brakes (I think they need the "overheat and dont return piston sanding job. Easy to do, but i wont do it for a PIF unless you are the final owner and dont know how)

X7 3x9 spd

Basic 26er wheels, Nevegals, and schrader valves?? Not sure why, but I also have the adapters to change to Presta.

Brand new saddle, and everything else is no-name. I do have multiple stems/bars to adapt final user.

Perfect for a kid coming up into MTB and parents who dont want to spend a fortune if it doesn't work out.

State of Texas surveyed parents on their intent to send kids back to school. It's currently about 50/50

I certainly am.  I have a HS graduate heading to college (so far, they haven't changed anything, but I expect that to change soon due to recent outbreaks in TX), and one a Junior in HS.  Not sure what we are going to do.  The high schooler actually prefers the online, as he can go at his own pace and doesn't have to sit thru an entire day of courses, when the true teaching is only ~3 hours total for all classes.  Really puts into perspective how much time is wasted with teachers trying to reign in kids, walking between classes, going to recess, going on breaks, eating lunch.

Come and listen to my story about a cat named Seth
A poor mountain biker, almost sold his  bike for meth,
And then one day he was shootin down a trail,
And up through the brush appeared a wooden tail

A whale tail that is, wooden kicker, texas gnar

Well the next thing you know seths the trail steward
The mountain bikers said "Seth build some trail downward"
Said "the fall lines are where the trails ought to be"
So they loaded up the tools and built the pussy

Now here's a little story I've got to tell

About a bad trail you know so well

It started way back in 1990

With rocks, trails, trees and me

I had a little bike named Rockhopper

Just me and my hopper and a bottle of water

Shredding across the land roosting up sand

TMBRA's  posse on my tail 'cause I'm in the lead

One lonely Cat 3 I be

All out front without nobody

The sun is beating down on my Specialized hat

 

The air is gettin' hot the water cans are empty

 

Lookin' for an oasis I ran into a guy

His name is Fat Chuck., I said, "Howdy" he said, "Hi"

It has rocks, bumps, and chasms a-plenty.

It will grate you like cheese,

but when when discussing it, please:

confide location with the cognoscenti.

Looking for a cheap, narrow riser bar. This is going on a road bike flat bar conversion. 31.8mm clamp preferred.

I have a bunch as well.  Can check size when I get home.

You looking for something beat up or something pristine? May have a chewed up 36T with some life in it

It would be for a singlespeed, so pristine is not an issue.  I am currently running a 42, and want to drop down a bit and save my knees on singletrack rides.  Thanks though.  Will keep you in mind, but I think 42 to 36 is too much of a jump.

Anybody have a 38 or 40 tooth 104 BCD front ring?  Willing to trade for it.  Have a ton of stuff.  Roadie/mtb/etc  Tell me what you need.

I really wanted that bike when I was 12! If it was priced $150 I’d snatch it up for something to tinker with

Then do I have a deal for you!

 

Ummmmm

Thanks for reminding me that I am so happy I dont like droppers and swapped back to a normal seat post. I just dont get it. Or need the hassle.

I love it and absolute necessity when out at spider mtn or dropping big things.  The ability to get the seat out of your balls and make sure you are centered over the bike is awesome
