na_vtec Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 After alot of thinking and excel spreadsheets and watching the for sale thread I decided to build up my next bike. I kept the parts from my old bike that I still like and upgraded the rest, I still have a few things I want to upgrade but I have enough to get it rolling so I can ride it in the meantime. That's enough text for a Photo thread: My New Hardtail - http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/Ikabot/Trek8500Build1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/Ikabot/Trek8500Build3.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/Ikabot/Trek8500Build2.jpg No couch pic, cos MTBikers do it in the bush:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/Ikabot/Neal1-1.jpg

na_vtec Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks guys!Nice!! Is that a SID 100?? 2001 model??? how is it?Hey Marius, it is the SID World Cup but to be honest I'm not 100% sure which year model. The person I bought it from said it was a 2006 model but I think it's older than that. Is there a sure way to tell? I have replaced the Oil Seals & Dust seals and they are AWESOME! Super smooth on uphill and downhill. Dual Air IS THE WAY TO GO!!!! Weight is 1320g with remote lock-out & cable. Only issue I have is with the remote lockout, it does not release entirely on some occasions, so I have to adjust manually every now and then. *shrugs*
Marius Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I can't tell from the pic but it looks like the fork as a Carbon crown? or is it just plain black? i'M Still not 100% sure what SID it is, if it's got 100mm travel it's a older model for sure but it might be a 2006. I'm just checking on the web for more details on it. I'm also looking for something like that with V-Brake bosses. Marius2009-06-30 06:07:57

Bos Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 And that LX crankset, Man, what a blast from the passed. Those are like 98'! nice bro. Kiff to see those, they bring back many memories.
Marius Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Oh shurrrup Rock, it's a classic and I want one like it but the 100mm version. The Colour on that one makes it look like it's an older fork, any idea on the year Rock?

na_vtec Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 Yup 80mm travel with carbon crown. ...and I don't mind about the leg's, I weigh 58kg's so I won't be bending them anytime soon Yeah so my components are dated . But they still work like a dream and weigh nothing so I'm smiling...na_vtec2009-06-30 06:29:01
Bos Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I didnt meen to make fun of your components dude, Im saying they are cool.
na_vtec Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 I didnt meen to make fun of your components dude' date=' Im saying they are cool.[/quote']Hey Bos, no offence taken, I was agreeing with you. Oldskool is cool! You should see my sisters Diamond Apex with Elastomer forks , was my bike back in the mid 90's...
na_vtec Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 Weighed it on a digital floor scale at 11.2kg's, then on a hanging scale at 11.9kg's... Somewhere around there for now.
