Finally finished building my Mountain Bike...
Now I have to turn around and sell the damned thing. :( :( :( :(

Ebay Link

This was going to be my way to get back into racing shape, but having a baby kinda throws a wrench into that. The thing that really sucks is that I spent months researching how to get the best bang for the buck in terms of weight and price, and I think I came up with a pretty damned good bike.

I think I'll just go out and buy a Huffy, instead.

Have any of you been in the same kinda pickle?

2. Nice job!
You DID put a lot of thought into it.

Those bars make my back spasm just looking at them, though....

3. I've always been a fan of flat bars.
They just seem more mountain bike-like to me.

4. Too low for me...
But then, I'm old, and stiff, and I got a fat gut...
Other than that, there's plenty of drool-factor there...

Bitch to have to sell it, but I know where your at, been there myself....
