  1. Yup, I got a new one. And its red. And silver. Looks a lot like this:

    Without all the other bits on it obstructing the frame.

    Yup, turns out that little scratch on the old one was a crack, 'cause they replaced the sucker! Now
    to decide whether to make it into a SS, or sell it to somebody on the team or ebay... (and use the
    money to buy a different SS frame, of course!)

    If somebody wants to pay me $3000 for it I will!

    I was going to keep it, but I want to build up a SS for a semi-beater I can ride to class and not
    worry too much if I lock it up outside - and then take it out on the trails when I feel like it
    too. This one is just kind of flashy and red for that - its not ALL that nice, but it looks it, so
    its a prime theft target.

    Hey FB!

    My vote is for the SS!
    Might be a touch stiff with a alu frame.

    yep, for every Sonny = ying theres a Cher = yang. Come to think of it. Isn't Cher just reworked
    tissue. Much like SS are reworked BMX bikes. You may be on to something here G. 😉

    SS has always been the plan, it was just going to bea campus bike too. Might have to rethink that
    and just make a total [censored] campus bike and a nice SS.

    Not gonna be rigid tho, 'cause I've got that sweet Marzocchi Atom Bomb sittin' around. Its only 63mm
    tho, so at least its "old school"!
