    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,
