I started SSpeeding some time ago (can't recall exactly when) with a converted Supergo Access frame that I had laying on the garage. I posted several threads regarding tensioners, painting, gear ratios, you name it; everything a newb will ask about sspeeds.

Tonight I post to let everyone here that the converted frame is gone and a SS specific frame will be used from now on.

Here's Beauty, my converted frame.

After that pic it suffred several changes but non major.

Now, the process of disassembling the old and assembling the new.

The finished product, '04 Kona Unit

I was going to buy a Two Circles frame from eBay but after discussing about the Unit I was sold on a frame with warranty and sliding dropouts.

Thanks to Manicmtbr for hooking me with the frame and all others that helped by answering my questios here.

First ride impression

This frame rocks. It's a lot more forgiving than my previous Al frame and that makes me wonder how a Ti frame will feel... Humm if I can only find some extra money

Me and my favorite riding partner (my son) went to the Fajardo trail again. Here are a couple of pics. The pics aren't great, took along the beater digi cam.

Looks like he's having a good time! How old is your son?

Oh, nice Unit too...

Nice Unit DD.
Have heaps of fun.
I have 8 weeks until I can collect my Surly (have to wait until I get to LA from Toowoomba Australia) which will be my first SS.

The kid is 8 and has been on the mtb for over one year now.

Grats on the unit. That's a sweet rig. Man the backdrop behind the last pic is spectacular! If it gets too hot on the ride just hop in the water for a cool dip.

Nice

I am liking the looks of your trails, especially the one with the ocean in it.

I need a road trip!

James, you're welcomed if a ride on a beach front trails is on your future. We have a couple of trails near the beach but that one is the one with the best views.

Nice DirtDevil! Don't assume ti will ride better, though...my steel frames (Soulcraft & Steelman) both ride nicer than the two high-end ti frames I had. It all depends on the manufacturer, tubing selection, blah, blah, blah.
