May try Sunbelt Supply in Round Rock.  3301 Sunrise Rd, Round Rock, Texas 78665, United States.

Also, may get lucky and find what you need at an Ace Hardware.

Good Luck

Frame, Fork, and Headset.

XS frame (size was comparable to a small Specialized Rock Hopper)

$400.00

JB, it can handle racks.  Kind of a one bike to rule them all.

2/22/22. Shorts and sleeveless jersey.

2/23/22 - Snow suit.

Think it's moving that direction.

Initially, just wanted geometry close to my SE Stout that could fit wider tires. Old school mtb flavor.

Never bought into the new bike and bad weather thing, but Damn.  Sorry y'all.

Christmas Brisket

Rural ride in Hinton, OK.

The wind does sweep across the plain.

I had Cycle Progression add a kickstand to my commuter bike to end the "Dammit, my bike just fell over AGAIN" urban commuting saga. 

I ride my bike to Hyde Park Gym on a regular basis.  I lock it to a square metal sign post where it's in direct view of the front counter through a big picture window. 

Awhile back as I was doing lock up, the front wheel rotated around and the bike fell over, damaging the rear derailleur, leading to the installation of Box 1 drive train that had been sitting in a box for over 6 months.  So, from a triple chain ring set up to single chain ring in front, win win maybe. 

Last month, the EXACT same thing happened, bike fell over, but this time it resulted in  non obvious damage to the front brake, which then failed abruptly on the ride home, leaking fluid all over my hand in the process.  The rear derailleur wasn't broken but needed major readjustment. 

Cycle Progression repaired the cabling , replaced the broken brake lever, adjusted the derailleur and while in the shop, I told them to root around and find a kick stand and install it. Handiest thing ever and bike will not fall over again.  

Cost of parts and labor for bike falling over twice:  around $100  (not counting new drive train). 

Cost of kickstand: < $12. 

Cycle Progession is a block south of Hyde Park Gym on Guadalupe.  Note that the shop cat is on extended leave until remodeling is completed. 

 

JB, how do you like the 1x set up on your urban bike?  

Thanks for posting this.  Will try and make it.

Long live Pinthouse!

or The Flats in RR.

I'm all flats, all the time.  I find myself a little more daring with tech features on flat pedals.

Invest on knee/elbow pads if you're riding clips on techy stuff.

Saw one on Peddlers pass this afternoon. 

AB, where did you see yours?

Is there a particular reason for a custom frame? Could one of their stock frames work?

Just modernizing a frame geo that I love.

Have been riding a SE Stout 29'er.  Added a gear conversion for horizontal drop outs.  Welded a cable stop for a front D.  

Love the geometry, but tire size is limited to 2.1s, but can squeeze 2.2s in but it's tight. Axel spacing is 100/135.

Looking to get same geo with 110/148 axel spacing and no horizontal drop out.

Consider Chumba. Really good bikes, made right here in Austin.

First place I checked.  Weren't doing custom frames now.

Bummed me out.

Thanks.  Keeping an eye on this.  Considering having a custom frame made.

Any updates on this?

AB, next time ride down to the Tesuque Village Market.  Have the Wife meet you there. Good beer selection and food.

When is this going to happen?

Who knows?  It's on the agenda, but keeps getting bump down the list.

~4.5-miles loop out there now.

@rugger.  Doing good.  Still above ground.

There have been a couple times that RR had funds in hand for Behrens, but it keeps getting bumped for other projects.

The future park (Mayfield Ranch) at Sam Bass/1431, that even lower on the list.  No trail through there, just some overgrown double track.  When everthing's been dry for a while, I'll ride the DT and end up at the Sam Bass intersection.  From there ride the southside easement of 1431 over to Red Horn. Stop for a beer and drop into Suburban Ninja.

I know RR uses it every once in a while for kid's educational thing, but that's it.  

More elevation there than Behrens, would be nice to have a flow type trail through there before connecting to Sam Bass.

Behrens in good for a quick dirt lap or two after work or as a pass through trail to connect other trails.

In the future, RR is gonna do something with it, until then we just work with what's there without putting a lot of work in the RR may alter or delete.

Maybe lower your tire pressure?  I find a big difference on my rigid, by lowering pressure by 2-5 psi.

Dang Dude.  At least Chicks dig scars/bruising.

When cleared for riding, I'll take you on a slow old guy ride.
