Project SS
So I walk into The Path (how many stories start like this) to buy a tire for my RIP9 and Donkey says to me Have you ever thought of a SS... Ummm No not until NOW...
Long story Short I am an owner of a Godzilla Green Niner ONE9 Add a Pink King head set, Kona steel fork, Truvative crank Some thompson stuff wheels off ebay and some formula brakes and here she sat...  Then we decided that we LIKE the whole SS thing so Back to the Path we go New Brakes Juicy 7 Carbon, New Fork Pace Carbon 29  Paul provided the cranks (through the Path of course)  Oh yeah Phil took care of the BB and a new set of Hopes with Stan's Arches with Pink Nipples to matchthe headset and seat  Oh yeah and the hubs matchthe frame...    and voila NEAR perfection (I have one more upgrade in the near future)

Well, I broke this frame (again):
 So the Path stripped one of these down for me:  The result:  Upgrades since then: Rogue lock-ons Gold Hope seatpost clamp '08 Mallets Speshy Chunder 2.3 in the front '08 XT discs (8" front/7" back) to replace my haggard old Hayes Mags Stands at about 32 pounds. The extra travel of the Lyrik on the front helps further rake out the frame's already slack geo, netting a 66.5-degree HA. Future upgrades: New bar and Hope stem (next week, hopefully) Gravity Dropper Coil for the rear
