Randimus may go MTB shopping tomorrow. LBS has this on sale:  My Schwinn Moab is 15 years old, the Schwinn Homegrown frame I acquired (NIB) a couple years ago is still unbuilt, and Stella has a sick Yeti 575 to roll around on, I've decided it might be time to make a move. Sweet, I'm a hard tail fan but that looks like a fun ride. make the beast with two backs asphalt  |

I think some of the parts will work well with the Homegrown (hardtail) project. The store had 3 of these in stock a couple weeks ago at $2K off MSRP. Reviews were decent. |

Give us a ride report if you pick it up. |

What Homegrown do you have NIB? Also, definitely give a 29er hardtail a whirl if possible. It will be lighter, cheaper, and probably faster. |

2000 Limited. Anodized Gold. I think I may have posted pics in this thread when I got it. Also, definitely give a 29er hardtail a whirl if possible. It will be lighter, cheaper, and probably faster.
Too late. Bought the last Felt they had. But it needs to be built, so I'll pick it up next weekend. |

It actually came with the tubeless stems. The bike shop set it up tubeless for me.  |
