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

Me too.  The plan is to strip the Moab & part it out.  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.

Too late.  Bought the last Felt they had.  But it needs to be built, so I'll pick it up next weekend.

A few more items for the "stuff I can't do" list:

White Balance Hardtail MTB in the SNOW!

Though that little move at 3:40 might be worth learning...

The Felt Virtue Expert is home! 





Unfortunately, I've not had a chance to take it on it's maiden voyage.

Congrats.  Buy a Stan's tubeless kit for it....best performance for the $$ you can buy.

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

Nice....I've got a set of Stan's Alpha 400 rims coming.  Going to give road/cross tubeless a whirl.
