Jack Crank,
I think I wrestled you once?

I have a carbon version of the spec one on my Santa Cruz. My daughter has one on her Specialized. Been pretty happy.

You can kinda see in the last picture where I used the wolf tooth doohickey to double up the cages.

is this frame dead? :(
Bit of wheel rub that seems to have gone slightly into the carbon.

We had this happen on a customers Cervelo,it was sent off to Hot Tubes and they inserted a carbon plug into the frame and it’s been a-ok

Whelp I took the dive and bought the Kapital ring coat. Holy poops is this thing a snuggle-tent.

Cockpit shenanigans.

When did Prolly move out of NYC? I think that was the first toll of the bell...

Yup it’s the VO mount, I think they’re made by someone else in the PNW.

If you’re gonna drill thru a seatpost make sure it’s a forged aluminum one. So Nitto, Kalloy, VO etc. Make sure to countersink the hole and debur it. It might be easier to use a seatpost like the Thomson ones are that are hollow all the way up and just drill out the cradle and rout the cable out the head of the seatpost. Don’t drill thru the side of a Thomson seatpost, I’ve seen a few that cracked from trying to rout canti brake cables thru.

So I need to replace the 150mm stem with something a little more stubby. The Syncros seatpost is a little beat and well the cranks di t match and that bothers me...
I’m gonna start by figuring out if I want to keep the drivetrain “vintage” 8 speed or go 1x11.

Thanks!

How do we edit the title of a post?

Oh I like this one! I’ve never heard of Loose Riders, any idea on the quality?

Weird, I tried them on the fork of my Bob Jackson and I’ve had to replace it 3 times in 3 years. It might be that they’re following a curve? But it always starts peeling at the bottom and works it’s way up.

It doesn’t hold al well as you’d like it to.

It’s my Yo Eddy as of today! Wanna be real jealous? It’s the last Yo Eddy made in Somerville. Apparently the power was turned off before the bike was done and it was finished in the parking lot. The attached is Lloyd from Fat City/Indy Fab/Seven talking about this bike.

Ohhh

Hmmm

Anyone out there own a Kapital ring coat ?

Late 60s early 70s Bob Jackson with 78oo

This is the original set up. It allowed us to mount a saddle bag low enough to have the light visible over it.

Don’t drill thru the side of a Thomson, it’ll crack. I’m not to familiar with the Ritchy posts manufacturing process so I’d prefer not to recommend it.

nterested in trying this too.
Debating best place to drill, i.e. front / side / back and also would doing the same on a carbon post be certain death...

Don’t do carbon! Or cnc’d alloy or titanium. We had Parlee make us a custom seatpost once for rear lights. I think it was a drilled normal Parlee post that they then added some structure to?

The easiest post to do this to is a Thomson. You just have to drill thru the cradle and route it up the hollow seatpost. Make sure that you counter sink the hole thru the cradle and de-burr it.

Maybe the reason why not to is obvious, but wouldn't the hole have made more sense in the back of the post not the front?

The original light on the post was a Supernova mounted on the saddle rails, the cable coming out of the rear would be really kinked, so we ran it out of the front up over the seatpost top. I’ll see if I have a picture somewhere.

I’ve been trying to find a long sleeve mountain bike jersey with a floral pattern. Any leads?

want that bike but who's gonna bring it for me from US of A?

I will...
Gotta wait till April however...

Half internal. Runs along the down tube on the outside, then up thru the bb shell into the seatpost.
