Raleigh XXIX

Picked up this dirty red beauty on Craigslist today. This is more or less a starter 29er for me. Nothing much will be changed other than a new suspension fork down the road. It's hard for me to bring myself to purchase a nice suspension fork when it will cost 1-1.5x as much as I paid for the bike itself. New yeti grips and eggbeaters are on their way from BlueSkyCycling. Some Kenda SM8's would run really nice on this beast.

Some Avid BB7 185mm brakes showed up today from Speedgoat.com. The stock BB5's will be switched over to Aimee's Specialized Rockhopper. I also put on some Crank Brothers eggbeaters and some ODI Yeti lock on grips. Not much more I will to do to this bike. I'm going to give this full rigid thing a try for a while. I hope to upgrade to a Reba Race front suspension.

I added some new rubber to the XXIX. Kenda Tomac Small Block 8's.
