So I got the 29'er itch after riding the Demo from work, and decided after winning the frame and fork in a raffle it was time to get busy

.
She's a 29'er, Completely Rigid, and a Single Speed, and seeing that any one of those alone will have people looking funny at you I've aptly named her:

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=5] Here's the build[/SIZE][/FONT]

Frame: Black - Zion 737 EBB
Fork: White - Zion Rigid 29'er
Brakes: Avid BB5
Brake Levers: TekTro MT 40
Handle Bar: Easton EA30
Grips: Ergon w/ Mag bar ends
Stem: Zion 90mm
Headset: Silver - Cane Creek S3
Headset spacers: Carbon (Gotta have it somewhere on a bike)
Seat Post: Zion
Seat clamp: Zion
Saddle: WTB V Comp
Cranks: Shimano LX M580 - 44t REMOVED
Bash Guard: Race Face
Chain: SRAM PG-68
Cassette: Gausset SS kit - 16 tooth
Hubs: Deore Disc
Rims: Mavic A317
Tires: Kenda Karma 29/2.2

Weight: 27.23 lbs

So far I've used her mainly as my commute rig, hence the 16t cog on the rear, enough to keep me from spinning too much on the ride in and give me a challenge coming home. Good thing is that for 4 of the 7 miles I'm riding on dirt and I am having a total blast. Her maiden voyage on pure dirt is coming soon and may just be the next STR Tea party and social Ride. I am just waiting on a a new gear I ordered to get in, cause she's a handful!!

I found this on a Yahoo search for Nose art and it just seemed to fit.

Nice ride and nice logo!

SAR_boats · 06-16-2007, 09:58 PM

Nice rig and nice name too.

tkblazer · 06-17-2007, 09:38 AM

sweet ride, the black frame and white fork is the same scheme my BMX has... bring that baby out to the loop, pretty much ideal gearing

J_Sims · 06-17-2007, 10:38 AM

Very Nice....

CC · 06-17-2007, 07:42 PM

I have a question, is it considered a sS if the front has more than 1 chain ring?

tkblazer · 06-17-2007, 09:39 PM

if you don't use the other rings than its an ss

If she's gonna gripe I'll just take it off at lunch, heck that'll get me closer to the 26 pound mark.

I'm wasn't gripping, it was a legitimate question.

Beauty btw, love the contrasting colors.

I through them on as a test and have fallen in love with them. My hands don't fall asleep, or ache at all. They make the rigid fork seem not so rigid.

ghixon · 06-18-2007, 11:56 AM

It's beach cruiser on steriods - nice setup.....

I used these grips, smaller version for women, and love them. I just got back from a two days bike ride, did Cannell Plunge and Just Outstanding, never had any discomfort in my hands.

They also make them with out the bar ends, but they really help with climbing and changing hand positions, hardly notice the little nubs.

Just gotta keep an eye out for the fashion police with the bar end/riser bar combo you got going.

Huh? What did you say? I don't think Miss Fit cares.

Keep it up and I might toss trail mix at you from my cube.
