That is so sweet
Rochshox, Syncro's kit, and gripshifters. Classic mid 90's mtb. It wouldn't of been cheap in its day. Makes me wish I still had my old Kona Explosif
How are the seals on the old Rockshox Mag 21?

Go into Photo bucket, then click on the photo you want to put on here. Once that photo is open, click it and press ctrl+w and then drag and drop the photo into a 'reply' here.Cesscargo wrote:Okay, I'm stumped, I've been sitting here for an hour trying to figure out how to put my photo from photo bucket in here, any clues???

There should also be some handy link type things on the right of the image with the heading 'Links to Share' which give you the image's link as needed in different forum types (ie. in IMG format - which is what is used here). If you click in the URL box the link will automatically be copied and you can paste it into your post. If you don't have this 'Links to Share' box on the right you can add it from your Settings page I believe.Crowz wrote:Go into Photo bucket, then click on the photo you want to put on here.

Two great bikes there. How do they differ in performance?

Wow!Cesscargo wrote:My cargo bike, I based it on the Bullitt but made it short enough to fit on my ute. I built this from bit and pieces I got from the local recycler. I use it to carry my gear to the local Men's Shed. The upright position from the BMX handle bars makes it comfortable for an old bloke.

Not a whole lot different in most cases, except that the Trek feels more nervous in its handling, while the Giant feels like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class of bicycles, steady as she goes but with hidden talents. You can really hustle it through corners with a lot of confidence, but then you've got one as well, so you'd know what they are like.MREJ wrote:Two great bikes there. How do they differ in performance?
When you get in the hills, you see the difference. The Trek is over 8kg according to the scale on my Prepstand Pro, the Giant (an SL3) tips in at about 7.6kg according to that with bottle cages on and all that stuff. And of course the gearshifts are way different. The 105 is quite different to the Di2 on the Giant. The Di2 is just click click click and the shifts are very dependable all the time. That helps out of corners too, though me getting better is also part of that.
I haven't really ridden the Trek since I got the Giant. But the Trek has sentimental value, it got me into this whole game when I did my typical jump in the deep end throw caution to the wind approach. You have to remember, before I got into this, I didn't ride a bike since I was a young kid. Didn't really do anything much at all in fact, and by a few years ago I was headed towards 90kg, which is bad. As you can probably guess (and from the avatar), I'm not that weight anymore.
The Giant got its first work on it on my part, the black bar tape replacing the white stuff, and the saddle was swapped from the Trek.
Cesscargo: Very tidy construction there - looks extremely well finished.

That is awesome. I have been contemplating a similar project. I rode one recently with my daughter in the front and she loved it. I would really like to see the other side so I can see how you have done the steering link. Did you follow any particular plans?

What frame size is your CLX 3?
Matt or gloss paint?
Looks truly beautiful to me I really do like the CLX frame shape.............
