New Groovy 29er!

[jman950]

Hey All,

I had Rody restore and repaint my 91 Monster and was so impressed I had him build a 29er for me.

I went out on a limb for a retro bike guy like me with 29" wheels, a Rohloff Speedhub and Magura disc brakes.

It turned out to be a great fit and ride as I was going for something more upright that I could ride the few miles on road to local trails and dirt roads.

I went up the the Handmade Bike Show in Indianapolis to meet Rody and pick up the bike.

Rody is an awesome guy and the show was like a giant bike candy store. I tried not to stay too long since I already had a dream bike.

I got my first ride on Saturday and it rode great. I am really pleased with the Rohloff and the disc brakes. I am not sure I could go back to canti / rim brakes.

Here are some pics of the Groovy and one of my Monster

I love the pain on that one!! His blog picutres of the paint are really nice.

I received my 650B bike from Rody just a few weeks ago, and I'm also very happy with it.

Very Very nice. I have one too... A big wheel, set up for Rohloff, but running it SS for now. Love it...
