I rekon you missed my last comment... Oh, how I wish I could ride! I got the frame the day after I broke my wrist. I built that bike up with my left hand (I'm a righty) and a gimp right hand in a cast.

The frame on that Iron Horse I posted earlier in this thread had butta-soft dropouts, and the axles were bitching them up pretty bad. Here's my 19" Jamis Dakota AL frame I got from JensonUSA.

Mikep, yes, those are BB7's... I just installed a 6" rear rotor & bracket, as the 8" rear was overkill, and about 140 grams heavier! We're big Oury grip fans here, been using them for 10+ years. My Kid just got some Lime Green one's for his Ibex

without a doubt, pfeener always friendly and very helpful, not a popular "character" here, but he instills the essence of what this site is all about. AlvinL is right up there, too, but he's a Mod

Way too much pissing and moaning about these "Sigs" Help someone out with a Volvo-related problem, instead of crying about your precious pictures.

RussB replied to Deuss's topic in Member Announcements
WTF! you most likey mangled the tapered hole in the spindle. I don't know what to tell you except stay the hell away from it with a drill bit! If the tapered stud on the tie rod end doesn't fit snugly into its mating hole in the spindle, you will have to replace your spindle. Nice going <_< -

I'm going... I'll be getting on the Mass Pike in Auburn. Rekon I'll register when I get there, and park on the lawn? -
You implied that you operated a 16 bay Volvo indy shop. Is that correct? If this is true, are you going to publicly offer a <$500 downpipe? :monkey:

There is such a small Volvo aftermarket/performance niche, that it's great to see a company bring out products for the Volvo enthusiasts... ...then you have a parade of VS-assclowns that have to talk shit about those companies that do invest the time & money...time and money spent to make it better for all of us in the not-so long run. Want to do-it-yourself? Search through junkyard and eaby, piecing together your "dream car"? Cool for you, but there's no need to knock down those that make the parts packages easily & readily available for those who simply "want it that way" So much Hate VolvoHate.com
