mack_turtle Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I have an itch to scratch: convert an old hybrid or mtb to a monstercross bike. easier said than done. my CX bike won't fit a tire bigger than 35mm and I like tinkering. got anything old that deserves a second chance? Steel, and rigid preferred. let me know. I probably need a medium size frame. Edited September 4, 2020 by mack_turtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Meltdown Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 This one is a large, but see if it's what you're looking for: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/313155353122166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a compact bike that will fit well with a drop bar. I scan Craigslist and Facebook marketplace several times a day for stuff like this, so I'm looking to see if someone on here has something that has not been listed yet.

RidingAgain Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 What size are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Medium. 16-18" or 52-54cm. Something with a taller headtube would work best. I've scoured FB marketplace and Craigslist and keep coming up with overpriced junk. When it's possible and safe again, I might just start spending time volunteering at YBP and earn a bike out of their selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
