Can't get enough of this.
I would so put a rigid front end on that thing.
I had a segmented fork powder coated to match but it didn't look right. It felt good though, so I will be ordering a tapered unicrown soon.Quote:

Now that folks is service. Tip of the hat Mr. Garro.
It's great for both people - I get to measure him in person, and I get to hand it to him in person and eschew shipping costs and risks - man, that's pure gold across the board !!!!Quote:

The Rohloff system is great and keeps on rolling. I changed the oil in it three times so far, about every other year or so. Most recently it had a leak because the seals were not put back correctly, but the hub ran great despite low oil for a while. Now it is back to full lubrication and will go for another two years before next round of oil change.
Happy trails!

Wheel Day
Six start to finish

And this is what I love about the Garro Process. It takes me back to the time I started riding and I'd order a grouppo and frame at the LBS and it would show up with hubs that a guy in a dirty shop apron would lace up to some kind of rim, usually something Wolber or Mavic. The bike that rolled out of the shop was built up completely by people in the shop. When I get my bike from Steve, it'll be just like that.
Only thing not in-house is paint !!!Quote:

This one came out QUITE nice - 29 x 2.5"
- Garro.
You always slay it with the yeller bikes Mr. Garro. That is one schweet ride there. Would say bees knees, but the bees will find that bike on their own.
Yellow & white will keep the fabricator AND the painter honest !!!!Quote:

Congratulations Mr. Garro, your town is now the title holder in snow this year. Way to go AZ. I thought we had crap weather for clearing sidewalks, but you guys are way over the top. Had some bluebird xc ski days here though up in Missoula. Hang in there I see a Mexican fishing trip n your future.

I would usually be in Mexico, but luckily we are not, as we have to keep the roofs clear as the doors were not opening - not as much as 2010, but 36" / one meter in 24 hours plus more on other end !!!!Quote:

Freshie out on the trails in PA.
- Garro.
As the person w/that uber black Coconino, this has to be said:
I don’t know what Garro does w/the geometry, tube selection, alignment, joining, etc., but out of the saddle sprinting BMX-style it takes off and seems to have some kind of assist as you get to 3/4 spun out. It's weirdly alive, and I'm not sure I've ever felt something that noticeable in an MTB. It's not planing, it's not noodle y, it's not crazy torsionally stiff, but something is going on.
And it carves at speed, really carves. Both wheels locked in, and if you get your weight back and lower a hair more, with just a touch of rear brake the back end comes loose just enough to smoothly tighten things up. Again, all of this is happening while really hauling.
Thanks Steve. You and the bike you made are badass.
Thank YOU !!!Quote:

29X2.5 all wrapped up at Dark Matter. It'll get built up in mid May when Garro gets back from fishing. The finish pattern is a tribute to Dario.
