Default Lastest Build

The Budget build is done! I know, I know, but I had to build it. It's a Iron Horse Quantum 19 1/2". I never heard of it, but it was only $40.00 on yes, you guessed it, Ebay. It came with a headset, seat post/QR collar and bottom bracket. The forks are a 80/100mm Manitou black that came off my Tomac, same with the seat. Derailleurs, shifters and crankset off my Rocky Mtn. Wheels, brakes and rotors are leftovers from a upgrades. I had to buy a stem and bars cause I wanted oversize ones to balance the bike out. This thing is a tank, but it weighed in at 27.6 lbs. Sold it, thanks to Steamrolen, for $500.00. I may have gotten more, but who knows. I sold it to a friend who needed a bike. Here are the pics;

Frame: $40.00


Forks: Take Offs from The Tomac:


Deraileurs, Shifters, Cranks: Take Offs from Rocky Mtn:


Bars and Stem: Ebay $28.98


Wheels, Brakes and rotors: Leftovers from upgrades(thanks to The Toad raffle)


Seeing someone enjoying Mountain Biking as much as we do, PRICELESS!

Ya he does and I told him he needs either a 21" or ride a 19" 29er, but he needs a F/S with his bad back and rebuilt pelvic. Tom, the guy who bought it, is also a friend of mine, it fits him perfect. Dave is 2-3 inches taller than Tom. I'll get him a F/S demo to ride. Even though he was spent the next 2 days, he had a blast!

Ya Gregg, that's the bike you saw me on at Aliso that day. I was testing it out. They both loved it, but it fit Tom perfectly and I told Dave (the one with the glasses on) that he needs a taller bike and a F/S due to his bad back and other injuries he got in a dirtbike crash. He'll be on one soon. I'll have to post a rookie ride at Aliso soon.
