Hey guys, bought my first 1/2 decent bile today, so thought i'd sign up get some good tips on maintenance and riding.
I bought a 2008 Avanti Atomic, really couldn't go past it, was a one off that had been ordered to a store, but they couldn't sell it as it was a medium frame. Had $740 on the tag, then heavily discounted to $374.50, so i couldn't say no.
Plan on doing light trail work, and generally just getting off my ass and getting out of the house.
heres a pic :
specs off the Avanti site.
* Frame: ADT 6061 Series FT Alloy
* Fork: RST CAPA ML 90mm Travel w/ Mechanical Lockout
* Front Derailleur: Shimano Acera
* Rear Derailleur: Shimano Alivio
* Brake Levers: Shimano EF50
* Shifters: Shimano EF50 24-Speed
* Crankset: Shimano FC-MC09 42/32/22
* Brakes: Shimano M415 Mechanical Disc
* Hubs: Shimano RM-65 Alloy Disc Front and Rear
* Cassette: Shimano HG30 11-30T 8-Speed
* Handlebar: Alloy Riser
* Grips: Avanti Dual Density
* Handlebar Stem: Alloy A-head
* Pedals: Nylon Platform Pedal
* Rims/Wheel Set: Weinmann Disc Taurus 2000 Double Wall Black
* Spokes: Stainless Steel
* Tyres: Kenda Komodo 26 x 1.95
* Saddle: Zero Gamma-X
* Seat Post: Alloy Micro Adjust 31.6mm
* Bottom Bracket: Shimano BB-UN26 Cartridge
* Headset: Zero Stack 1-1/8" w/ Avanti Top Cap
* Chain: KMC IG31
i'll ride around and get used to it for a while, then i'll slowly replace shit like pedals and grips, and a few other things.
Thanks for letting me piss on.
Pete.
