Eventually gonna turn my bike into a 69er. Found a good deal on a nearly new Lefty Ocho. Gonna have to get another $250-500 in shit to make it work, but it's gonna be dope.

Hiked a local MTB trail yesterday with the pup, I can't wait to hit it on 2 wheels.

I'm going to show this thread to my son who works at a bike shop when he stops puking in his bed from having mono...

Just ordered the headset reducer.
Waiting for the fork to get here to order more shit, but I think I can grab a hub spacer, caliper bracket, and caliper adapter and be rideable on the 26" wheel until I find a 29

I keep saying I want to get a good bike. But I’m fat... And I haven’t. I never had a good bike and was always limited to the Walmart specials. I’ve heard the 29” models are much better than the ones I had back in the day. I also have heard one with a rigid frame and only front shocks pedals easier. I am also still fat.

Hardtails will be a bit faster, but any good modern full squish is going to have a pretty firm lockout on both shocks.
Technically, 26" wheels are stronger that 29", but either will be fine unless you're huge.

Decent bikes are a lot like guns. There's always some new, weird gimmick and some way to spend an ungodly amount of money....but it's fun and you can make weird shit.

I got two potential. Dad ended up falling in love with the CJ5 before I could pay him for it so I lost out on that. BUUUUTTTTT..... I really need to start on my W200 anyway. Have a 318 and a 360 I could put in it. But really want to do a Cummins. Gonna drag it in to the shop hopefully in a few weeks.

Fork and headset should be here wednesday

You want new or used?

He can probably sell a used one at a good deal but I'd have to check first to see what frame sizes he has.

He works at Atlanta Cycling in Duluth Fridays after school and all day Saturdays. He's a tech so he's in the back with all the other wrench turners.

Any chance they've got some 27.5 or 29 lefty wheels?

He has a large frame Raleigh fitness hybrid. More of a road bike than mountain bike but with MB bars - no suspension. 27 speed. Strictly street bike. 700C wheels (29").

Any interest? If so, can send pics, etc.

Yeah, I might try my hand at building a wheel....worst that happens is it fails and ia fucking die

@Rwjeter
Slap a set of cyclocross/gravel tires on that and it's be a great place to start.

Meh. I’m willing to risk that. Go for it!
