New Bike Day!

stevers said:
New-ish frankenbike day! Sold the Yeti SB5+ and built this hardtail lunch ride/baby trailer hauler.

New nukeproof scout 275 frame from CRC (2 week lead time)
New SRAM GX carbon cranks (in stock)
NOS Trust Message fork
Used GX drivetrain
New/old shimano XT 8000/8100 brakes
Leftover wheels/controls

Not sure if I have the fork dialed in but it feels almost rigid climbing and jumping (harsh landings) but the chundery stuff feels real good. We’ll see if the fork lasts a year on the bike :)

Looks pretty shreddy for its intended purpose. :sneaky::thumbsup:
 
Got this for my niece’s first b-day! I’ll probably build it later today. Can’t wait to give it to her, I’m just waiting for the rocker base so she can “ride,” it along side mom and dad while they’re on their peloton.

That sounds like quite a project!

I just heard from Worldwide. I'll be picking up my bike first thing Tuesday morning!

I had a dream that you came to my house and bequeathed me a Minion DHR II. We were just starting to discuss the tailgate pad, and I woke up. The entire process seemed to last 30 seconds, but it probably took 4 hours in my sleep...or is it the other way around? Anyway, I dreamed about you Ed! :sleep:

Are you sure that wasn't a premonition? I went through my tire bin last weekend and it looks like my 2.5WT Aggressor and DHF are a little more worn than I thought. If you're interested, if and when you come out to pick up the tailgate pad, I'll throw those in for a decent spec 12er.

We’ll figure it out. If you need the space and can sell it before I make it out that way, all good homie. Otherwise, I still want it. Cant you sneak a label and a box at work? :devilish::devilish:

I'm so conflicted about who to root for, though there is some divine inspiration at play as well. Nimble 9 frames just became available for pre-order again. All the goodies from the Smash, down to the 30.9 seatpost, could easily be swapped over. Probably with a cassette/derailleur delete. Would just need a new airshaft for the fork, and the SS fixins. The spirit of the Smash could ride on, and satisfy this lingering curiosity I've had. I barely use my Townie any more, and a single speed mtb could easily cover those duties if I freed up its hanging spot in the garage. Thoughts are being thunk.
