Bike is finished.

[Evel Knievel]

When I started this bike build project this is exactly what I had envisioned.

Project Night Rider a SS full rigid in black. Quiet , light , and reliable were the goals. I will provide all the fun/blood/sweat.

One trip to the hardware store and this is the best tensioner yet. Simple to flop from push to pull. No springs to bounce or wear out. A silent rubber roller on sealed bearings. What more could you ask for.

that ss is pretty sweet. Where did you get the frame?

So refreshingly simple. Not enough for me to give up my 575, but still sweet to look at

that ss is pretty sweet. Where did you get the frame?

SuperG0 for $120. Not the frame of dreams. But it gets it done.


Thanks for the compliments , everybody.

Man, i went up to Big Bear and used the lifts to ride some technical singletrack, one of my buddies was on a Supergo Access, don't underestimate that frame, it hauls a$$.

Long time ago racing BMX I learned it is not the bike but the rider.

i agree..only time bike will trip you up is when it doesnt fit properly.

 

[Evel Knievel]

Or maybe time away , since I have not ridden full rigid trails since 1993. Ouch!

that's a great looking bike, BTW what does it weigh in at?

the simplicity of a SS looks awesome, makes me want to go that route for certain training rides. so i usually just stay in one gear on my geared bike to simulate a SS, but i like to have the gears just in case.

One scale said 22 2/3 pounds. It feels lighter though.

sweet bike!! I've been sitting on a n old Chromo Performance bike that I'm going to start working on tonight. You're an inspiration. Where'd you get that DMR chain tensioner? That looks like something I'd go for too.
