Did not know you used Nevegals, that is the tires I run on my purple SS and when we have lots of rain I have put them on the Cuda when I need gears for the ride. They grip like crazy but god I think you could roll a cinder bock up a rocky mountain side faster than they roll, great tires other than that !
Wish we were warmer than what we have been, but I know how you enjoy your snow rides and sure it will come soon…maybe you will wake up to a white Christmas !

This weather is killing me, we are running temps way lower than years past and the one nice weekend we had lately my truck was broke down and I had to work on it just so I could get to work with out bumming a ride. I hope to hit the trails in a week or two which puts us about Christmas time and the family might not like that but, I really need to ride. Sure would be nice to hear what is going on with others in the group, maybe some pictures to share, always nice to see what riding is like away from home trails…I know Derek will drop some snow riding pictures as soon as they get deep enough snow for that crazy man to go out in.

If I do not make a post before the end of the month, HAPPY HOLIDAY for what ever one you enjoy and if you do not enjoy any, enjoy the month,bike build or rides…what ever it is, but be safe !

A2B frame only for 40.oo ….but they have it set as a local pickup, would need to work a deal with bike shop or somebody local to get it if you wanted to.

Glad your back and I take doing better! Winter project you say, ” D ” has been working, or rebuilding one of his bikes and I am kicking around the thought of a AM bike. Would be great if a number of us had things going on for a period of time so post were going on. Post some pic’s if you can, I have been having trouble posting pic’s and not sure why because I do it the same way yet some work then they don’t…will still write in every chance I get…

4 or 5 inches is all I need…. 😳 sure you will have fun with that line ! I am in Florida for the love of the bike gods, think about it, a hand full of years back what the freeride and down hill guys were running and I did that ride at Alafia with folks all around me on brand new AM bikes with 6 plus travel . I can see the disc brakes and more up right position on the bike with some fat knobby tires. Would like a 1 X 9/10 gear..run a N/W chain ring with short derail and beefy wheelset. Heck there is a local SWAMP club guy that does youtube videos on these trail with a 26″ full rigid bad ass bike, and rips through the runs. I like the thought of that just not sure my old body could handle it ( SHUT UP DEREK…I know you will say something ) so I figure a little Monkey Motion bike would do the trick !

Funny you post this, I was going to ask you what the travel was on that ride. Figured being where you are this was a long travel bike and you like it that way. What was that frame made to run to begin with? By the way I had a good time while on lunch break checking the Hecklers out,thanks for the link,way better than Flea-bay for amount of bikes. Only problem is most of them are complete bikes…which could be a good thing but I do enjoy a frame up build so it is a product of my taste. And yes I found a few small Hecklers and sure the right one will pop up one of these days

No problem…after the first few days of crying I crawled into my room and did not come out, the whole time in a fetal position sucking my thumb…life was over!
For real, hope your daughter enjoys riding it, better to stay in the family. Still need to post some pictures of it so we can see what it turn out like…then again that might made me cry for real !
