well, the parts situation was very much helped by having a 7/8th built 89 rockhopper who sacrificed itself for this build. transferring the parts didnt take much time, and the powdercoat was done in less than a week. i had the frame realigned by an older bike shop which had a park tool table in the back. they had to uncover it from a mountain of boxes and other things that had accumulated since the last time anyone asked them to realign a steel frame. took a bit of cold setting, but the mechanic didnt seem worried.... he also didnt seem to understand why i wanted him to realign a super rough old trek mtb. oh well.
and george, money invested aside, that rockhopper you built will probably last a lifetime. i wouldve lost my mind if i ever had a bike that nice as a kid. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
