The Mountain Cruiser. [O] New bike!
5
A while back there was a thread on a certain[due to legal reasons, I can't say the name in reference to this here bike] mountain cruiser bike from Mr. Mark Slate of OS bikes fame. So the bike has been renamed the Mountain Cruiser, cause, well thats what it looks like!
Here in the upper midwest, we've just been smacked across the face with winter (-5 this am, and not much warmer now), so getting this out for a shakedown run isn't going to happen for a while. For now it gets to sit on a nice, prominent perch in the shop and look pretty. I'm sure it'll hit some gravel later this winter, but that's not really a test, is it?
Drive train set up is 2x8. 11-32 x 28/32 shifted by nice retro XTR M900 and SunTour XC Pro. Velocity hubs laced to Salsa Delgado races. Avid BB7's. Fork is a Bluedog Custom, filletbrazed.
Had to get creative with the front derailleur cable routing. There was no hole drilled/tapped for a guide. I wanted to run gears on this, so I had to come up with something. An old[well, new really] v brake noodle to the rescue! Should work well, I think.

Sweet rig. Proper WTB parts where they belong and first gen XTR, nice!
The only way this rig could be any better is if you could get roller cams installed and ditch the discs, but thats just ol' retro me talkin'.
Someday we should get the Blackbuck and this bike together for a ride. Heck, two Blackbucks and one OX. (Whoops! Am I allowed to say that? The Secret Bicycle Police aren't going to come down on me or anything, are they?
) Anyway, Ben should get his down there too. Could be a real swoopy framed shindig right there!
Ah! But I digress! Enjoy that beaut. I can't wait to hear what ya think of the ride.

:rockon:Well, that name won't do them much good now without the design that goes with it.
Don'tcha think.
