    Uh…. one of the few cats in this world that I would think twice about taking on. He was a state champion wrestler 2 years in a row (in the 80’s), has a ponytail and a fleet of Harleys… and I tend to respect my elders.

    Yes very cool. Thinking I may go custom on my old A2R, and very slowly. :D My bro in law is an accomplished hand-pin-striper, runs a body shop.

    Booo….. Brother you got a tough few years ahead. Not sure which carrot to dangle for that deal. Maybe plan a special trip or something, tell him to challenge his buddies to something other than tearing up the parking blocks.

    You know what causes that right (teenagers)? teehee….

    Streets and sidewalks have thawed a bit. Those Kendas are smooth as silk. I still have knobbies on the Avanti for when it snows again….

    I am guessing it will work for the rear elastomers too.

    I am. It’s some cool stuff…. The elastomers are hard as hell to find, and a little spendy. Options are innertubes wrapped tight with zipties, not sure about that one. But one cat used some 1.5 ” rubber test plugs, the type that plumbers use to seal off the end of a pipe, you know the kind with a wingnut.

    Damn my ole’ lady is a little pissed. :)

    I got froggy and jumped. $50 bucks. It’s a 3×7, all aluminum, canti’s, all shimano (rapidfire, not grip), mavic rims, tight as my ex-wife’s ankles clinched together, the elastomers are shot, but I have researched some fixes. It has two scratches total and some weird snake charmer thingy’s in the tires? Kind of a snakebite fix or runflat wannabe? No wear, and only an inch shorter than my A2MS. Ritchey tires with 90% tread. The fork is COOL, it’s a Girvin/Vector and looks like a reverse springer you’d find on a Harley. Post pics soon.

    Boooo though….. 1″ steertube…. though I think I’d screw up the geometry if I put a regular Manitou or Judy on it. I was gonna rape it for the grouppo and start back in on the A2R but I think this thing belongs in the Smithsonian.
