Make sure you wear your matching Miles Q36.5 bibs ... You don't want a ticket from the fashion police cause you mixed and matched....

You know I can't miss the World Famous Montrose. Sat, 8:30, Forever.

Wanna sell 'em? PM me.

Found an ugly ducking on CraigsList in Milwaukee--a crashed and neglected 17.5" Gunnar Rockhound left for dead. The owner dumped it really hard doing something stupid about 10 years ago and it sat in a storage closet since. Had a rattlecan paint job and some nice pseudo-vintage parts on it, so I knew it was worth the drive, considering the geometry was just about perfect for me.

Found:


Stripped down to the frame:


Bought it for $175, sold the Topline polished cranks that were on it for $155... still have a set of minty fresh Ringle MTB hubs that were on it and a handful of other parts worth a few duckets, and the whole thing wound up costing me a drive to Milwaukee and a $20 bill in the end. Not a bad deal for what 15 years ago was a $1200 American-made steel ride.

It will be off to a media blast session and then a custom paint job this spring. Should be a fun build and nice to get on a silky smooth hardtail MTB again.

Got some wheels on the bay that had a couple of crappy photos and poor description. I was able to get from the seller that that are 7900 hubs but that was it. They arrived and are 24/28 7900 hubs including DA skewers with unknown rims and came with Conti 4000S 25mm tires including good tubes. I think my $100 purchase was a good one. Crappy ebay photo.
