[Pictures] Before & After

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...:wave:


and voila NEAR perfection (I have one more upgrade in the near future)


:bang:

 

This is great I have a story very similar Bought my first MTB again



2 weeks later


Add a bunch of bling Like the middleburn cranks and boom
or snap as it may be

and then it was NINER and

to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Now I just sit out in the garage and watch her glow:bang::bang:

 

There are some AWESOME bikes in this thread!

 

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

 

I guess mine is kinda a before and after

Before
A poor fitting 07 MKIII Comp.



Then after the Path stopping selling Iron Horse bike and they got rid of the frames that had left I jumped on a Med MKIII frame.

Now


Added
08 Fox 36 Talas RC2
Avid Elixir 185mm brakes front and rear
E.13 DRS

Thanks for the compliment.

Devinci's are super rare this side of Canada.

I bought everything on close out. The whole bike cost about $1800. Just wish I had a place that was steep enough to ride it.
