  1. LOL! Well,I raced XC for a while between '94 and '01* (when I was injured on the job-stopped my motocross and mtn bike racing then,not my riding),but I was always on a BMX growing up,beating around the hills/trails,then started "mtn biking" in the upper mid 80's to cross train for motocross as a teen...just never stopped riding. Currently have a SS project that I'll have ready to ride next month, a geared mtn bike as well (both 29"ers,an Origin 8 Scout 29 SS and Vassago Bandersnatch,the O8 replaced a Jabberwocky I sold earlier this year),CX bike (Origin 8 700CX) more or less a Monstercrosser (currently running WTB Nanoraptor 2.1"ers and Dirt Drop bars),and an Xtracycle I built with an old Trek 6000 I've had since Y2K....yeah,I am too (into bikes a bit) *I still occasionally hit a shorter xc race when my old injuries allow,I won a local mtn bike race last summer (a month after our house fire),the Rattlesnake's Revenge,the intermediate class buy 23 minutes on that Vassago Jabberwocky SS..was a good day. Best part? Smoking a mini-cigar at the finish line as the first loser (o,bit of inside info,he's my longest time friend,25 years,very fit and can bench 375 lbs,LOL,it was just for hi aggervation
  2. NICE!!! Almost the same shade as my 1:1 from last year (it was "Dark Cherry Metallic"). Question,did you convert the body/chassis or is that the resin piece I've seen occasionally? Can't wait to see more!
  3. I must Google these and see if I can find em to watch online somewhere,thanks for the info,my friend,I always liked the show
  4. Score an early '90's AMT Chevy full size stepsie Silverado kit NIB at the fleamarket
  5. I wish my wife was a rider. Until Nick (10 year old son) started riding with me this year,all my riding buddies lived not in my house,LOL! We rode mostl road this year,but by June the 1st,I had 1,300 miles in this year already,and over 700 of em was with the Boy. He's ready,but nervous about "real mtn biking",but when I finish my 29"er SS project next month and when we find a decent trail-condition-day,gunna take a day to head to Blacksburg and ride wth him (Pandapas Pond trail-network,some of my favorite trails. Some of which ae perfect for him to get his feet wet-literally-as some of em aren't very technical but fast and flowy) As for Workbench Saturdays,I actually have a kit on my mini-bench (no really,I'm serious!) inside the house (the new shed's uninsulated,it's winter,so...),no pics yet,but if I don't forget,I 'll soot and post some up before Monday hits
  6. I think the formula for how many kits one needs is the same for mtn bikes (bicycles in general )....X + 1 = Y,with "X" being the number of kits you currently have in your stash,and "Y" being the number you need
  7. LOL,NOW yer talkin
