Flowta Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Picked up this Diamondback Apex (really good condition Cro-moly frame&fork) plus a Rockshox Q21R. Gonna be part of my singlespeed project.
Hog_ Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Yes, keep it rigid! Just put on the fattest front tyre you can find.
Flowta Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Will do, the fork was just thrown in extra
Zaskar Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Nice frame, but just be careful! I had two of those Diamond Back True Temper Cr-Mo frames between 1994 and 1997 i snapped both of them. The first was a Diamond Back Ascent which snapped clean in half on the right chainstay, and the second was an Apex which snapped on the seat tube just below the FD clamp.
Tumbleweed Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 hos much travel is on that fork. i have an old jett at home.
_BBi Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Keep us posted. I am busy with a Trek 4500 with an RST fork for my project.
markStockton Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I'll be riding my rigid DB tonight at the bike park. Still love it. However I havn't converted to SS yet as there are far to many nasty hills between me and the spruit.
