this is interesting- I guess just mask off the decals, add splatter, then re-clear?

There's been a few updates to the Hot, not that I have pictures of. That's not the purpose of this post. I've had this nagging urge to re-paint this Hot, but I'm on the fence of whether I should or not, so I need some help. My 94 Hot was ordered the same colour as the 94 Hahanna. I love the...

Did the green one come from Montreal? it looks familiar.

I believe either the BSA or Euro BB would work- I'd contact Profile Racing and ask them what you'd need. They're helpful, I've contacted them before. Those look the same crank as a BMX with a double/triple spider on it. Reach out to them, I'm sure they'll get you set.

I find it helpful to set your limit screws before cables and chain as close as you can get. Then run your cables and get the slack out. Chain on last and just dial it in.

What I mean by rich, is someone young enough to want to work at it, but wouldn’t draw a wage.

Most bike Coops or charities either run as (or should be running as) a not for profit organization, where auctioning off/ selling anything with decent value to keep the lights on, and paying non volunteer staff. There are a few chrities around here too that also collect and ship bikes to...

My eventual goal is to open a bike Coop here, so everyone that wants a free bike can have one that's safe. I think that would solve a lot of the problems everyone has around here, including the problem of me finding these amazing bikes and ethically getting them into the hands of those who'd...

I honestly thought about that too, but didn't feel right holding the bike for ransom. We have a massive homeless population that rely on bikes for transportation, and most don't have cell phones to contact anyway. It's amazing seeing some of the bikes they're rolling around on. I saw one dude...

I was thinking Duke as well, but I don't see one with that top tube.

This was sitting outside on a -25 degree day, unlocked just hanging out. I left a note to contact me (I don't think I'll get a call), but now I'm curious because I don't see any others, google image doesn't seem to be helping. Mish-Mash of M900, M950 XTR, M737 XT make me think it's a 95-96...

I think it’s also a matter of him working on what excites him. I know a few guys that have approached him for some pretty neat custom stuff, he seems to get to that stuff pretty quickly.

I believe the Expert was a 91 non catalogued model, but I not super confident on that.

Regarding the Glacier. Based on my research and a few posts from former employees on FB They’re all 91 built Blizzards that came to the factory without the chain stay divots specifically drive side (my Glacier has a Jan 91 build date) and this is why they’re all spec’d with the same parts as a...

I believe they did for the most part, I think the jury is still out whether all his builds are sequential, meaning he stamped as he made them regardless of the brand they were being delivered to.. ie a Brave Warrior might be TeT 609, a Yakota TeT 610, and a Kona TeT 611 as an example. I’m not...
