    Where did he go? At least twice the camera caught people looking over the edge for a crumpled heap of bike and rider.

    Call me crazy, but..... 1. The two parties in question are really the same person. And this is all a stunt to garner a much higher price on the auction. or, if different parties and more likely... 2. After reading some posts over on mtbr, this bike wasn't really 'stolen', but rather...

    When to Replace a Worn BB?

    Maybe it is better replaced. It's not grinding or anything, but movement other than intended can't be good for it. I can't help but wonder if the plastic retaining cup hasn't hollowed out or something. Doesn't sound or feel like metal to metal, but more like metal to hard plastic. Anyways...

    When to Replace a Worn BB?

    1996 Specialized Stumpjumper A1 FS

    Still working on it, but it's ridable. The original intent was to use this as a winter bike (which it probably still will be), but it's just so much fun to ride, it's become my main ride. Don't tell my Rockhopper that! :lol: The stem needs work. Just can't find a good spot for it with it's...
