Default Last trip we racked up....

custom Sycip, Seven (29er), Serotta and a Cannondale 1FG (all full disc, tubeless etc), unfortunately the one photo we got of everything racked up got overwritten on the CF card by one of the "other" guys. We were all running wide riser bars and it got "interesting" to say the least.

I "was" riding a custom Serotta CST (soft-tail) at the time, but actually sold that recently and am giving thought to a Matt Chester at the moment. My current geared ride is an 04 S-Works Epic Disc (full XTR) and lots of fun. The 29er bug is calling me though......actually picked up a Cdale 1FG myself as a singlespeed recently just to keep one around, gotta have my singlespeed fix. Its actually a very nice ride!

That looks nice! Bars are not that wide!

Default I had a whistle too - which left with the Thule velo vice type mounts. If

you have a scewer type fork mount that is the culpret. Also, cover any holes with black tape on the fairing or other holes on your bike mounts...makes a big difference in noise reduction.

Default mmmm....Chester.....gotta love his work

a buddy of mine rides one of his 26inchers. loves it, and another buddy owns what may be the only geared 29er MC built. Anyway, 2 large on a new set of 18" RS6 wheels/tires or a new MC? That is a tough one...

I like the way those wheels look, do you need spacers for those?

Default No - stock from tire rack with correct offset. Heavy wheels though, but

they match the aluminum trim nicely...
