My Rumble: Finally!!

eureka · 01-22-2005, 10:26 PM

Ever since my bike got stolen last summer I've been puttin spare parts together building a cheap hardtail. I've finally come up with a decent running bike. My rumble has been brought back to life:

ya its a new stance static. It's brand new so im still breaking it in. So far its workin well, its low travel but it feels like a lot more. The chromoly stanchions also feel alot better than i expected they would.

Nice, dude. I actually saw you riding today crossing sandhill to go to Stanford it looked like. Good to see you on some wheels again.

That bike looks like the new cheap gary fisher hardtails.

chris: i did buy new cranks for it. I went through two square tapers in under a week so i decided i needed an upgrade.

As to the gary fisher hardtails thing. I think the rumble is an awesome hardtail and not cheap at all. Its aluminum but the gussets make it a burly enough frame.

I rode carlmont today and it was workin fine. It was a bit ghetto w/ the one rear v-brake, but it jumped the new six pack like a dream.

How did you like the stance? And if you want a rear cheap hayes mech disc brake with lever, and cables, let me know Ill let it go for $10, the only thing is it has one missing pad. Its got some scratches, but it works FINE :15:

The stance worked great its a little heavy but nothing i cant get used to. The only problem is that the preload is set really slow but i'm going to adjust it.
I'm actually interested in the brake but i need to work on getting a disc compatable wheel first. I have extra pads so no worries.
