Well then..
Accidentally did something stupid before in this thread so here's round #2.
Haven't been on two wheels in ~3 years, and in that time I've gained some mad weight as a result of BEER. Thought to myself "time to do something about this" about a million times in those 3 years but then the other day a bargain came up and I couldn't refuse.
Edit: It's been much longer than 3 years.... Here's my old thread: http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?96629-VP-FREE-6-month-makeover
Here we go:
(I don't know how many people read these...aaaand this one isn't going to be very interesting at all. I figured I'd just put it in anyway)
Frame - Jackal (Named Q-Do)
Rear shock - n/a
Front shock/fork - DJ3s
Handlebars - Something by Raceface
Stem - Easton 50mm
Headset - FSA
Grips - horrible
Saddle - SDG
Seatpost - NFI
Front brake - Hayes 9
Rear brake - Hayes 9
Cranks - Truvativ
Chainguide - n/a
Chain - uh...
Pedals - Cranks bros FIDDYFIDDY
Front derailleur - n/a
Rear derailleur - n/a
Front shifter - n/a
Rear shifter - n/a
Cassette - n/a
Front hub - The best in the world: DEORE!!!!!!!!!11
Rear hub - Above
Front rim - NFI - Won't last very long by the looks of it
Rear rim - MTX
Spokes - Uhh?
Nipples - No idea
Tyres - Holy Rollers
Tubes - No idea
Total weight - Maybe <14-15? Don't really know/don't care. Lightest bike I've ever had.
PICTURE TIME!
Only one photo at the moment.
Note the monster rotor on the rear! F*ck yea! This will be changed for something a little smaller.
Future plans:
I have some super old Juicy 7s which will be going on ASAP
Same applies for an XT short cage mech and Saint shifter (about 5 years old, yet still brand new....!)
Things I need:
Cassette
Things I want (near future...ish):
New fork! Ugh this DJ3 makes me exit the Earth's atmosphere every time I use even the slightest bit of its measly travel.
Well, that's about it. Glad to be back on two wheels!
Cheers!
