    Bought this POS Dawes single speed from bikes direct. For the money I guess I'm happy with it. It will service its purpose to get around the city for a year. Tested it out today on the local river trail.

      Just finished a frame up on this guy. She's feelin' mighty fine. Weighed in at 22.7lbs without a seatpost or pedals.

        Just started ordering parts to build my first mountain bike. I picked up the frame set months ago, a 2000 Cannondale F700. I will be fitting it with a lot of Shimano XT parts and Race Face Turbine Parts as well. I decided to go with a 2x10 setup with 26T/38T on the crank. Hopefully I'll get to post some pictures of the build as it comes together.

                Time for a build update, just waiting on the wheel set and brake set to show up in the mail.

                Here's what I'm working with so far:
                Race Face Turbine products.







                Shimano Deore XT drivetrain.

                    Holy Race-Face Ronnie.

                    Definitely missing my bike right now. Rode it for maybe three days before I went to work in Alaska? Back home now but it's still in California. I've been Jonesin' for a ride really bad recently. How many miles have all you guys logged this summer? Unfortunately for me, Only like 25.

                        How do those forks feel? I've never ridden one. Always been interest on if it feels much different than a conventional fork.

                            To be honest I really haven't ridden a whole lot to tell you the difference. This is the only suspension fork I have ridden. I do like the feel of it over the older Cannondale Pepperoni and P-Bone forks, that's abput all I can compare them too.
