My New Money Pit

Gonthrax · #1 12-16-2002, 04:02 AM

I decided I don't need my money. So... I built a mountain bike

Trek 6500 frame
Mostly Shimano components.

Next purchases, new paddles (Me wants clips), new hubs, and disk brakes

I'll try and get some pics soon.

Nice. Didn't know you were into bikes, Gonthrax. I'll have to mail you some Type R stickers now. :finger:

Just remember to pedal faster than 6000 rpm so the vtec can kick in.

Just j/k Nice bike

Lol, Fuck you all

But seriously tho, I think that little reflector in the back gives me a good amount of power.

I'm not familiar with mountain bikes (still use my ten speed that I bought twenty years ago). How much does something like that run?

Nice buy Gonthrax,
Only thing I would have done different is an 8000 ZX frame, but I am a 'retired' racer.
My wife has a 6500 WSD and it is a great bike, so I am sure yours is too,

My own bike is a Giant ATX-Team.....it's the one I used to race and is still covered in sponsored stuff....that I kept...hehe...

I hope you enjoy the bike, nothing beats a good bike ride!

Yep, problems at work. I've been banned from posting on AF while at work. :o The IT department got a bit "annoyed" with the amount of time I spend on AF. My boss doesn't have a problem with it, but the IT department do. To cut a long story short, my boss is now giving me lots of work so I'm not bored anymore.

Still can't get onto AF at work though, so that kind of sux.

Don't worry Spec2- Send $5000 my way and I'll make sure you get back onto AF

Hey Gonthrax thought you was heading downunder here? Is that still the plan or has that been binned.

Bugger Andy, oddly enough I was able to talk the IT guy who contracts for us at work to hook me up. So once in a while I surf and even fire up mIRC hahahaha, though the boss tends to get a bit shitty if it is not on break time. Funny that.
