Congrats! Must have run out of money before you got to the derailleur and cassette.

Your assimilation is nearly complete.

He’s returning to his roots! The first time I ran into him in O’Neill it was on a bike with a proper drive train.

Some of you might have seen the for sale listing for my DV9 frame. Well, it’s on its way to @Mikie in Canada. Below is what replaced it. I found a great deal on a titanium Timberjack frame on EBay. Never owned titanium and always wanted one so it was to be. Got it mostly built up this afternoon, but I didn’t have a rear 160mm SIS adapter. That shows up tomorrow so I should be able to get it rolling then.

[herzalot]

Just got word from the shop today that my frame will be shipped on January 28. I hope they don't go out of business before then!

A couple of minutes with a Dremel and you can remove the hanger and make it proper.

Well, not going to take a Dremel to it, but it is starting it’s life out sans derailleur.

the tires are mounted all wrong, oh the shame!!!

But @mtnbikej is giddy as a school girl, so maybe you get a pass.
(Nice ride BTW).

Oh my!

OK - here we go. Hightowers are out. Hardtails (and singlespeeds) have returned as the must-have for IMTBers. We are getting old, aren't we?

Pretty bikes. Enjoy them.

Is that not what I have been trying to tell you?

Still not interested. If I were relegated to a hardtail, I would quit riding. Perhaps that's why you are so insistent!

My first real ever mountain bike ever. Salsa Timberjack 29er. Not sure if the Huffy I had in 1998 counts haha. Promise it won't be hanging around like this in my parking lot. Waiting on my gear so I could hit up this nice beginner trail near my house (Cherry Canyon in Glendale). Beyond excited - thanks to all you who helped me during this beginner phase. Let's go!
