I did consider that first but ....... Fine threaded dies in that size are not a common and never included in a standard kit. I'd have to go to a specialty shop to find it. Also, the skewers are necked down slightly before the threads start. Lastly, I'm not sure how you'd be able to clamp...

I figure a lot of you already know this, but I thought I'd post it here just in case it comes in handy for a few ..... Somehow ended up with 3 rear m900 skewers and one front for my two wheelsets. Decided to cheat a little and make a front from the rear. A lot of shimano skewers are basically...

Started to hang some components on ....... Decided to go with the XT/LX mixed kit and so far I do like the way it's going together. Need a few little bits ....... grips, link wires and the prepped saddle, and I should be able to finish up shortly. Wish I had a better camera or better...

Nothing happens fast around here ........... Was sorting through the cabinets, thinning the inventory on ebay, and pulled together what I think will be the build for the Pecos. Being a new frame, I'm trying to keep with new/like new components. Started out in concept as a LX build with some...

Stronglight on ebay right now .......... Can't really recommend ... just happened into it and thought it looked interesting. http://www.ebay.com/itm/STRONGLIGHT-HEA ... 4d0a700584

Over the years I've piled up several sets of high quality build kits 4 XTR's (2 900's/2 950's) 4 XT's ( 2 pre-737/ 2 post) Problem is none of the bikes I've stashed was ever spec'd with an XTR. Many wouldn't have even been XT. I got away with building a mid-range GT in 952...

Beautiful, interesting bike !!! You really went through a lot of options to get to the final build. All of them looked nice ...... Curious though..... how could you possibly not use the tri-color flite? It fit so perfectly with the frame. Did you find another need for it, or perhaps, find...

Re: 1990 Haro Extreme: FINISHED! Pics on page 7 Excellent!! Super clean and simple. Really shows off the frame design in that color.......

Picked up this nos frame from a guy who bought 3 of them years ago and never built this one. Have the original fork also, though not pictured. Nothing exotic, but nice steel at a good price .... also I have a thing for interesting cable routes and this frame has some nice details. After...

Nice save ......Tequesta's get grief for being heavy - cuz they are. Still, my first "real" off road ride was a Tequesta that weighed in about 32 lb built. Can't help but have a soft spot for these. Cool that GT put such nice paint on even entry level bikes back then .... She looks to be...

Tioga post happened to show up on ebay just a couple days after I brought the bike home. If it's not the original style post, it is, at least, very similar. Interesting to me is that it appears to be anodized? I don't know that I've really seen steel with an anodized finish before. Or, at...

I appreciate the concern, but as it turns out, I am a bit over 6'1" and think the frame size will work out fine :) Poked a post and saddle on and put some air in the tires. Front shifter feels like it has dried up, so it'll need a tear down. Otherwise, quiet, smooth and quite fantastic to...

Duh ... :shock: ..... Somehow never noticed that before. I think the Richter was sold exclusively with suspension forks, but otherwise appears to be same bike with quieter paint. Nice bike. Always been on my short list, as is the Kara.

Re: . Yes... I think. But, unfortunately cut. :cry: Pretty sure on the tires too. Still have nubs on the outsides .....

Finally found something worthwhile in the adds. This bike was 15 mins away on craigslist. Guy said he bought a restaurant on an island and was selling all his stuff before he left. Team Avi, needs saddle and post, $50. A little dusty, but it doesn't look to have gotten much use. Not...

Sorry to say, but the stickers had to go. Haven't decided how to finish yet. I may just do a quick and dirty respray, but found a coworker who does powdercoat also. I've got the kit pretty much sorted, save for the saddle and grips. Want some opinions on the fork. Found a guy who had an...

Went out for a bit of light trail, just getting a feel for the set up today and learned a few things. First, I'm getting old, fat and sweat a lot more that I used to ..... Second, the Zokes are a little soft, so I need to revisit the set up ..... Third ..... something that seems so...

Pretty much done, for now anyway. Need to get some grips and finish the cables, but together and tuned. Took it out for a bit tonight .... rather shocking to be honest. In my younger years, when I rode everywhere, I was on old, heavy GT steel. For the last 10 yrs or so, I've mostly been on...

The frames has got some dents and dings, but a good polish goes a long way. As for the mess in the background ...... got way too many projects. Most should show up on here eventually. In this pic is a Proflex and a Scott Super Evolution.

More modern Kore bits ..... The stem may work for me, but I'm not sure about the beam post and saddle.
