Hi,
now I wanna introduce you to 'Bucky the Grasshopper'.
There are so many things to be changed: black brakes and levers, black crank set, stem and bar are borrowed from another bike, wheels too... But I had to build the Bucky as fast as possible, because I really wanted to ride it, all other bikes could wait. And now I can say: I never rode a better bike. What's the secret of the frame? Is it the geometry, the material, the soul? I really don't know... But: I love it!
Temporary part list:
frame: Fat Chance Buck Shaver '94
fork: Tange Struts
stem & bar: Salsa
grips: Onza Ules
seat post: IRD
saddle: Selle Flite Evolution
crank set: Shimano XT (FC-M730) 48t
chain: Eastern Bondage Halflink
wheels: Shimano XT hubs, Araya RM-17 rims with DT spokes and IRC Piranha Pro tires
cog: Chris King 18t
brakes & levers: Suntour XC Pro
headset: Dia Compe
To be continued...
