  1. 29er Full Suspension
    This one started out as a Trek Supercaliber that’s frame got warrantied due to shipping damage. I convinced Trek to send a Top Fuel frame instead as it’s a better all-rounder with more modern geometry. This is truly brand-new. I didn’t even unwrap the factory packing out of fear of messing with...

    So I've been trying to figure out the model of this frame I got super cheap along with many other parts. It got some fresh paint and now I'm trying to figure out the brand and model, also for knowing what headset I need etc. Anyone got an idea? cheers!
  3. Rigid/Hardtail Bikes
    I‘m having a 29er steel frame built with an eye toward doing the Western Wildlands Route. The question is do I go hardtail or rigid. I’ve been riding full suspension for 20 years and haven’t spent any serious time on a rigid bike since the 90’s. I don't want gear failure to end my trip and was...

    Hi, I broke the rear triangle on my Ibis Ripley 4 frame. It is a 2022 model, Blue, XL. Ibis does not sell the triangle by itself... Let me know if you have one for sale. Maybe someone broke the front triangle and the rear is ok... Thanks!

    Is anyone here around 5'9" in height and riding a medium-sized 2020 to 2023 29'er Sight? The Ride Aligned system puts 5'9" on a size large, but it just feels huge when riding my friend's 2020 Sight in a size large. I am more interested in having a snappy, responsive bike than a super planted...
  7. Beginner's Corner
    I have a few questions regarding my bike. First of all, I purchased a Medium 2018 Giant Trance 3 27.5 on Facebook marketplace 2 years ago. It’s been amazing. But unfortunately I’ve noticed a crack in the main frame/front triangle of my bike. It’s in the corner right under my seat. My frame is...

    Anyone do DIY frame protection for their new bike using bulk film (3M or Expel)? This seems to be the most reasonably priced option compared to precut cuts. I understand there will be work involved but cant be too bad given how small the bike frame really is. Now for a car, I'd definitely have a...

    Hey there was just wondering if anyone has any experience stripping the paint off their frame then sanding it down and polishing to leave it with a shiny chrome type finish. I’m looking to do this to my 2017 trance 3 and wondering if this is a viable/ safe option or it’s not worth it. Could...

    Hi there, I am a high school Nica rider and I am looking to buy a bike for racing. I found a 2017 Yeti Asrc Turq for sale and was quite excited since it was a good price and had some great components on it.

  14. Frame Building
    Hey guys. So I know virtually nothing about polishing metals. I stripped all paint off my titanium hardtail, and just want to give it a clear near mirror finish. I'm currently at a stage of wet sanding it down with a 1000 grid. I already tried polishing it with some polish and a polishing pad...

    So this is an old steel frame that I bought about a month or so ago, it has a chrome finnish but you can tell it's frame from the surface rust that has appeared to the little scratches that went thought the chrome finnish, but it's really light weight. It fits 26" wheels with V-brakes (no...
