RussB Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Here's my MTB, an Iron Horse Maverick with a few upgrades EDIT: the Maverick was dismantled, and now lives on a Jamis frameHere's my Son on his brandy-new Ibex Ignition...Here's my cobbled together El-Cheapo, buzz around the neighborhood bike, made up spare parts accumulated over the last decade or so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikep Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Are those BB-7 calipers on the Iron Horse? They work well.I have had Oury grips (blue bike). Very cushy. I'm partial to Salsa grips, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I was about to mention the Oury grips...I'm going with Big Cheese grips. I've heard nothing but good things from people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussB Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikep Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) the ibex is nice, I always wanted to ride one, but never see them here.When I was looking at FSRs in 2002 I rode a Sugar 2. I liked it a bit better than the FSR, but my friend (owner of the bike shop) made me the deal I couldn't refuse. Can't argue with "at cost".
