Bike porn for Knucklebusta

[Drew]

I recently bought Knucklebusta’s Hollowpoint frame and Marathon fork. The frame is for my wife, the fork for me. The frame was in *pristine* condition, ready for my lovely wife to crash it. She’s moving up from a super heavy Trek hardtail, later today will be her first ride.

Here is a picture of the build. It’s a mix of parts I had, and new parts. Mostly LX drivetrain with older XTR crank. ’03 Marzocchi MX pro eta (rebuilt, lowered oil height) , Avid mechs, wheelset off ’03 Specialized Enduro (thanks Kevin)(rebuilt the hubs and converted rims to tubless with Stan’s). IRC Mythos rear and a ’05 Geax Barro front.

Her new bike and our riding partner.

She wouldn't let me remove her Kingdom Trails ticket from her seat.

I also completely rebuilt my hardtail. It’s a ’99 Sandvik Titanium frame, made for Kona. This bike is really fun! I originally built it in 2001. I've been riding this exclusively this year while my other bike awaits rebuild.

All XTR with Raceface turbine cranks, ’02 Rockshox Duke Race completely rebuilt, Enduro seals and wipers. Geax Sturdy tires.

I really like the Enduro seals.

Salsa brake booster was required to firm up the rear brake.

And finally, my next and last bike project for the year. This is usually my main ride. '02 Titus Switchblade, just purchased the new 5 1/4" rear linkage with 5th element shock. It will get Knuck's Marathon S fork. Sram X0 rear with Sram triggers. Hayes Mag brakes. I built the wheels last year with older King Hubs and Velocity rims, running Stan's w/ 2bliss Specialzed Enduro on rear and regular Enduro on front.

Looks like good weather, I'm going out to ride now....

I couldn't tell what rim and hubs were on the ironhorse. Mavic/ shimano? ;) ;D

while we're showing off bikes, here is my wet dream. Nothing fancy but it's fun, fast, and durable. Need to change the fork though.

[skyline69]
