CrossRide and CrossMax came in silver(bare aluminium). The rims i have are 24h for infos. There is a whole bunch of different drillings amongst the variants and the early disc wheels used the same rim brake rims. Those are good to get, if the rim hasn't been used , to build a non disc wheel with...

Thank you for confirming the year. It was supposed to be used with a 130mm travel fork but looking at some pics the geo looks the same as previous models, based around shorter travel forks, and the stance looks jacked up, at the front.

Roughly speaking for 26"... Lightweight 300-450 Regular XC 450-600 DH 600-800 ....or thereabouts.

I would say that at 990g the tyre is puncture resistant to most objects apart from a bullet. Ride quality is going to be pants.

Am going to stick with my bet that it is a 24x24 from 1985-1987. I may still be wrong though 😆 . Sometimes it is obvious it is a 24" wheel and in other pics not so. It definitely isnt a 26x24 that is clear to see!

I think the one you are looking at is the 26" wheeled version. I think. I am no expert and there seems to be a 24x24, a 26 front x 24 rear and a 26x26 . Anyhow....i think all are desirable as they are early with the double u brake. Here is another pic showing that crimp

Visible on the other side too

BUY IT! I was right That crimp is meant to be there . Look at this pic

I think that is an SM600 with 24" wheels. Late 80's and desireable. Such a shame about that chainstay. That is an odd place to get a dent and weirdly it looks like it has been done with a tool like you might use on the inside of the chainstay , for tyre clearance. Hard to say from that photo though.

I have been searching for a catalogue/datasheet for the EVO 4 frame without luck so far. I am not exactly sure what year it was available but i will guess at 2005. Anyway....if you can help with seatube angle, headtube angle, and headtube length please get in touch. Cheers

The Bridgestone is a no brainer. Desirable and fun to ride as long as you aren't going to be too precious about it.

If you come from somewhere without BIG mountains the first you see is mind blowing. For me it was anyway and that was Mont Blanc as a 15yo. The Swiss Alps are stunning as is Mount Cook down in NZ. Will always remember opening the back door of the camper and Mount Cook was just there right in...

You really are living up to your username with this post. Amongst the sheep do you include all the women who are barely over 5'? Do you want them on 177.5 cranks and 46cm bars because you do, or do you decide for them what is right? How about the triathletes who have proven shorter cranks...

The title of Chrome's threads and the content is always a surprise :)
