Dean eh? Got pics? Gonna take some pics of the buildup/painting process
Maybe do a Suzy and create a site with the details

I saw a guy in Ringwood lock up his bike outside Rebel.. It was a dual
susp. Marin with some trick bits including (I think..) HED deep-ve
carbon rims!!!! It was had red slicks - dunno why you'd bother slickin
up a duallie..

hippy New lenses aren't enough... must.. have... new... bike

I'll think about it, do have pics of the frame hanging up pre-spray wit
bits strategically covered in masking tape

So far: LX Deore brakes, Ditch Witch rims, Big Cheese grips (style i
important), Judy SL forks, um got to track down one of those singulato
thingies. Still figuring out cranks & gear ratios

Oh, haven't mentioned yet, it's a lovely *Holden Sandlewood
shade, noice. ;

Sounds nicer than my "good" bike

You could try another tensioning method - no tensioner, filed dropouts
filed axle, eccentric hub (White Industries ENO), old deraileur (m
method), horizontal dropouts done by GripSport, etc. Plus there ar
quite a few tensioner options available. I don't have anything agains
the Singulator it's just that tensioners are pretty costly for what i
basically a stripped-down derrailer

See the SS forum on www.mtbr.com for a FAQ with heaps of chai
tensioning options..

Ah yes, sorry about that, I used the 'always' borrowed
from the ADSL 'always on' propaganda... evidently it isn't 🙁

my apologies,
