Hey all, long time rider, ex bike shop manager and master mechanic here. I got a few bikes left, sold most of my "collection" and got some more to sell.
Just put this one up in the trade exchange forum, Orbea Box1 DH. There are less than 10 of these in the US.
This is my SS race bike (on the right) and my wifes bike. I built both from the frame up on free frames. These two have sure proven themselves for being spare parts bikes.
Blue bike:
'89 Schwinn Moab frame 21"
Marzocchi air fork, don't remember which one, no stickers either.
Custom XTR to ritchie rim front wheel
Shimano factory LX 8/9 sp rear with spacers (soon to be a surly SS hub to Ritchie rim)
Truvativ stylo SS cranks and BB. 32/15 gear ratio
Custom 7/8" Ti flat bar
Old Avid Ti hardware V-brake levers
Old Avid Ti hardware rear V-Brake with custom Ti brake bridge
Avid BB7 front disc brake with 160 rotor
Lock on grips
Crank Brothers egg beater pedals
WTB velociraptor 2.4" tires with ultra light tubes and stans sealant
WTB Chome saddle
24.5 lbs
Black/yellow Bike:
'05 Specialized Hardrock sport frame 15" (my wife isn't even 5' tall)
Old Rock Shox Judy SL fork (when they were good forks)
Custom XTR front hub to Ritchie rim (M970 hub) 28h radial
Old Cane Creek WAM rear wheel
XTR 8sp cassette
XTR R. Derailleur (M950)
XT F. Derailleur
Old Sugino triple cranks with Shimano square taper BB
Aluminum 30mm rise bars
XTR brake/shifter combo levers (M950)
XTR V-Brakes (M970)
Snafu grips customized
WTB Rocket V saddle
Panaracer Smoke/Dart tires Ultralight tubes with Stans
Cheap platforms
23lbs
I have had several bikes I raced but this one seems to just stick around.

never noticed this thread before......
My old Bullit that was built into my DH race bike over time.....its pretty much just been siting for years now.
I recently picked up a Specialized Enduro SL as more of an all mountain/trail bike. Just starting to get back into the swing of things. I haven't ridden consistently in many years so its nice to get back out there. Still not sure what I'm going to do with the Bullit.

I had built a Sette hard tail that I miss so bad. I'm going to ride again once I finish school, and I have researched this hobby to no end.

Wow, most of the trails I saw on this page were green all over. It's seriously dry here
