Looking for one of these.... Paying weel or trading well...(7 posts)

Looking for one of these.... Paying weel or trading well...SS Jerry
Jul 26, 2003 3:44 PM
My wife came up to me this week and said: "Dear, I would like to start riding the black bike (1992 Team Yo Eddy) in the garage, do you think it is a good bike to ride the local trails?" She is n advid birder and love to sit and watch nature.

After picking myself off the ground, I put my hands in my pockets and said with the coolest, slightly broken voice I could muster... Ah yeas my dear, it will probably do on the the locals trails...

Now I have had 7 great MTB's in the last 20 years and many Road bikes and after 25 years of marriage, she has never said a word about my spending habits on the high end toys or even feigned an interested in these two wheeled beasts. We do alot together, but never the same hobbies.

So when she left the house to do some shopping, I jumped for joy, thinking of a way to give her the Yo Eddy, so in my diabolical plan... I could now sneek the Independent Fabrications Bike into the Garage....

To make this long story not too much longer, this is what I need to finish the build for her. I recently found a Syncros riser bar to match the other Sybcros components. I need one last piece to make her happy... A Syncros 1 inch quill 90mm to 110mm 20 or 25 degree rise stem in black.

I will pay what you want or trade for what you need if you have something close to this, but is has to be Syncros. If you have a set of 170 mm Syncros cranks in black , I will make you a rich man or woman....

Rule one of a sucessful relationship, give her what she wants, you will come out way ahead in the long run.

Here's hoping someone will have this item(s). Now... where can I make room in the garage for that IF deluxe.....

Got the part, holy crap, what do I owe this guy. He says to pay him back someday.....So.... I will take a spin on the karma wheel and I will pass it forward. I have a rim/hub for someone if they will pay the shipping when they can.

What I have is a Mavic 231 rim in silver, purple alloy nipples, wheelsmith spokes laced up to a NukeProof Ti hub for a 7 speed. The rim/hub is still good and is just sitting in the garage, no casstete, but uses a Shimano cassette. Anybody just starting out in SS'ing or needing a rear wheel to start out can have it, just tell me where to send it. I have the front rim to match, but no hub, I will throw it in for free also to the same person.

If more than one person emails me I only have one, so if you really need it, beg a little better than the next guy.

Freely I have received... freely shall I give...
