Mountain Bikes of Velocipede Salon

[MIN]

I checked the gallery forum but I didn't see a MTB-specific thread. Can we start this thread to showcase members' MTBs, in light of the new sub-forum?

My Kona Hei Hei Supreme. 22". Basically replaced everything stock except for the frame, shock, and fork. Best of all to get rid of was all the SRAM crap it came with. Love this bike.Attachment 63094

Titanium bikes over-representing so far!

Sorry, here's the pic. I went to edit my post because the photo was rotated and a customer came in. By the time I got back to the computer, the 10 minute window to edit was up. One more try.

I'm baffled. How do you stop it without disc brakes?!

A 650 Built for a friend:



And 650 for me!



For a bit of "Keeping up with the Salonistas" content, my 650xc bike used a relatively gucci custom fork. I bought an O'13 26in 120mm travel SID World Cup cheap on the eBay and swapped the 26in lowers for 29in lowers. Creating a ~90mm travel 27.5 Sid WC, something that still doesn't exist. I've the proper 27.5 lowers now and will make a proper frakenfork using the RCT3 damper instead of the remote lockout thingy used in the WC for next season. The RCT3 damper is considered a better pure dampener vs. the whatever it's called hydro remote lockout in the XX and WC if you can do without a remote lockout. The result will be a 27.5 tapered/carbon steerer "short" travel fork with lots of bushing overlap and good dampening. I was able to do this because I fell into a few of these parts cheap, but why the hell isn't this fork available off the shelf? A





P.S. I gave up on accuracy and consistency talking about dampers/dampening/damping and 650b/27.5

Here's my Huckleberry 29r SS. Its a transporter, everything else but the ride disappears with the first pedal stroke and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased....

My Titus RX1…have not ridden it often, and was prepping it for sale. But then got psyched to ride it again!

This is going to be a sticky. Maybe rename it too.

Here's my new Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon. 27.5" and 6" of travel. It's an incredible bike.

This is the perfect thread to pull me out of a funk and get me excited for some riding! Beautiful bikes!
