2015 SC Bronson - It's more bike than I am rider, but whatever.
How much travel on that bad boy?

I'm thinking the claim was 150mm/6" - realistic I think the way the virtual link works it's close to be sure, but again it's probably the better riders that get all the travel from it.
I just got confirmation today I get a Bronson 2 frame - so while this was a fun bike I sadly am still under ~150 mi seat time - cranks barely show shine from shoe friction.
It's a great ride, esp with a Pike - I'll prob strip it for parts for the new frame, aside from parts like rear hub. IDK yet, worry about that after holidays.

Just picked up this '11 Epic. Minty. Came with some fat studded tires, ready for Winter. Need to figure out the suspension, probably add a little air.
How do you like that 1up rack? I think santa is bringing me one this year1987 Japanese spec Specialized Stump Jumper!
I will have some pics to post of the new roadie I am still building up... Ritchey Road Logic with Reynolds attack wheelset and Duraace 9000 11spd group... OH BABY

I think the 1up is the best bike rack out there...you'll enjoy it!

Trying to get my suspension aired up and tuned, noticed this is an Australian bike? Unique for around here I guess. Asked the guy who sold it to me, he said it was in the Specialized warehouse when he talked to the dealer, didn't know why it was Australian. The dealer I took it to is the largest Specialized dealer around, they never heard of it, thought it was a very cool find for me. And a smoking good deal. Wish they could explain how to set this fork up though.

BikeRumor has a great set of articles on setting up suspension, so that may help. I don't like lots of do-dads on my fork/shock as I am set and forget type of person (not a pro racer or anything). Go to MTBR for help on setting it up for you.

Been in storage since the move from CO, I need to tone down the wheels and fork to something more midwest oriented.
Here's my daily driver. It's a '92 Peugeot Tourmalet, but the frame and crank are pretty much the only original things on it. I put about 60 miles a week on this guy when I'm not lazy.
I also have an old K2 Zed mtb and a Jamis Satellite that are in pieces right now. The K2 will get a rebuild eventually. Probably going to fix up the Jamis just enough to throw it on Craigslist.
Couple of things I've done to it aside from the obvious single speed conversion:
- Brooks Cambium C15 saddle
- Jagwire braided brake housings (running these through the frame was a huge pita. Worth it to get rid of those hideous zip ties around the frame though)
- Surly Hurdy Gurdy chain tensioner
- Tektro brakes and levers I pulled off the Jamis.
- Pretty sure the wheelset is just an Origin 8 set I got from a LBS, but I'm not too sure. The hub on the front one got bent up somehow, so I'm riding on a spare rim for the time being
If you're looking for new lights, I picked up some Blitzu Cyclops lights a while back and will probably never use battery powered lights ever again. Even though the battery life isn't great, plugging them into a phone charger is just too convenient and I've got a bad habit of letting my old lights get super dim when the batteries start to go.
