Specs:
2005 Medium Pearl Purple Gary Fisher Rig 29er s/s
Rock Shox Reba 80mm fork (very plush)
32 tooth Blackspire Chainring, (maybe 2 months old)
22 tooth Endless Kick Ass cog (just over a month old)
20 tooth stock cog
Purple KMC chain (just over a month old)
Chris King Headset (silver)
Richey WCS 31.8 stem
Race Face Carbon Riser bar, 31.8
Stock Bongtrager Race cranks
Stock Bashguard
Easton XTR seatpost
Selle San Marcos saddle
Salsa seat clamp
Bontrager skewers
Avid BB7 Mechanical Disc Brakes (have new pads in package)
Bontrager Mustang hoops, front and rear
Stans Conversion kit in both wheels.
Kenda Small Block 8, 2.1 on back (less than month old)
Panaracer Rampage 2.35 up front (maybe 2 months old)
Kenda Nevegal DTC 2.25 only 2 rides on it
Kenda Karma 2.2, brand new still in package
Choice of TIME A.T.A.C. (grey and old school) or Wellgo SPD

First one to give me $800 takes her home.

is this an april fools joke....

guero · 04-01-2007, 03:52 PM

Forgot to mention, this is not an April Fools joke, its the real deal.

Kid A · 04-01-2007, 04:12 PM

dude, told u to keep the other bike in stable. so your selling cuz the lakers may not make playoffs?

good luck with sale and remember to get all sorts of squishy with next project

btw - how much just for the chain stay sticker

PacMan · 04-01-2007, 04:37 PM

Damn, if I wasn't going to Moab in 2 weeks I'd buy it

guero · 04-01-2007, 04:50 PM

It may still be around when you get back PacMan. Forgot to mention that I'll accept Paypal with the buyer picking up the 3% paypal fee.

kid_a, unfortunately that sticker is part of the deal with the bike. i was told that it makes the bike faster somehow.

It is good to see the errors in your ways. The 26er revolution will continue and all traitors will be hunted down. The dark side is stronger

Too bad you can't figure out a way to have two bikes.

I've been wanting a 29er and a SS. This would solve both those problems. Now if I could just sell my Jamis I'd only need a couple hundred more $$'s

Pain Freak · 04-01-2007, 07:39 PM

Gawd, that bike is really sweet. To big for me and I'm a solid fan of the 26er.

I assume your avatar is foreshadowing, but if not, here's another idea:

But if I pull down a 29er and a SS, I'll have one of everything and then I'll stop bying bikes....I swear

Here's a pic of my garage. Count the bikes. When I took the pic, my Enduro wasn't even in the garage, it's on my car's roof rack and my Trek HT is at my dad's, so add 2 more.

OK, maybe you have a point. I swear, no more bikes until after Moab.

mcgrath · 04-01-2007, 09:59 PM

when do we see the new ride?

CalEpic · 04-02-2007, 06:42 AM

Hey George - for this post can we have the "Thanks" button replaced with "I told you so"?

JK Whitey - It'll be good to see you on a bigger bike again.

yes, looks ominous.
G - Coiler or Stinky, that is the Q

btw - does this mean you're also buying a truck again and embarking on another username?

if so suggest maybe a username like "Viagra" as you could only stay rigid for a short while

Yes, second that request.

With Bret's riding style, where he rides and the people he rides with, a rigid singlespeed did not make much sense.

^Exactly, I enjoyed the s/s and really pushed it on the downhill sections and after hauling ass down the luge yesterday I just really wanted to be back on full squish. Purple Haze is a fun bike, and the new challenges she brought to the dirt were welcomed. Hopefully she'll find a new home soon.

I'll picked up one of the last 06 Kona Coiler Deluxe's from WheelWorld yesterday afternoon. I'll snap a few pix tonight and upload them.
