Ps: I do have to much stuff, I'm trying to sell some to make more room so I can walk around..

I should have offered you less for your bottom bracket. Thx by the way.

[Gummee!]

I don't feel so bad about my stash of stuff.

Thanks Ricky!

Nope, it was to harsh for my taste so I sold it, now I have a titanium cross bike that is super soft on my butt..

[zouch]

understood. that was a seriously rigid/efficient frame; more suited to competition than anything i do these days.

i'm much happier riding my old Hakkalügi around too.


cheers!

Well my Empella was also very fast but not as rigid, actually a really nice ride..


Ps: say hi to Todd if you see him..

El Guero, did you get a new motor bike? guessin' a honda? Did you get it full of sand yet?!!

Yup, no more dual sports for me now. Just a couple big Honda V4s. I figure if I want to do some off-roading now, I'll get bicycle. I hear it hurts less when they fall over on you in the sand

I found some old pics of my BigHits.

A friend of mine just send me this picture showing the first frame I ever build, so fun..

Laguna de guatavita, about a 100miles from Bogota Colombia, year about 1988

[PaulS]

almost done. Took it for the first time around the block. This bike is so light I'm afraid to ride it...



Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day so I'll take it for a longer ride.

holy torsional frame triangulation, Batman!
how did it ride?


and the paint; so 1988. reminds me of a cross between a Pegoretti and a Land Shark.


cheers!

well 15 1/4" chainstay with tons of clearance for mud, plus she climb like a goat, but going down was a different story

The idea was to have a paint job easy to repair, but also kind of fun, sadly the picture does not show how "neon" it was..

Ps: notice the U-lock as "Aero bar" and the fatboy tires, that day we where doing a "triathlon" and i was the bike man on the road course (around 15miles or so) against a bunch of road bikes..

Cool, that whole e-stay thing didn't last a whole long time but they looked cool.

For sure they have there short comings like added weight, flexyness (mine never drop a chain) and scary downhill (with the super short chainstays) but the climb and shed mud better than anything and does two factors where very important for me at the time I made it..
