Trade carcase of 2003 Curt Goodrich Riv Road 26" wheel custom for Monocog 29er or ilk.

[Patrick Moore]

Ilks particularly welcome. I like ilks.

You get a much modified Riv custom that will take 32s with fenders (tight, but doable) plus a second, Chauncey fork with canti bosses that will take a 42 but not with a fender (and that with lightly longer legs will affect the handling a wee bit, but this bike handles a bit quicker than say a Ram while retaining the ineffable seamlessness in transition between straight and turn), and a rear triangle that will just clear a 42 under the bridges if you don't install the caliper brake the frame was designed for. The bike has custom-built rear rack (odd single strut mount to bolt brazed onto s stay bridge but very sturdy) and front lowriders and rather crude but effective internal/loop wire routing from hub to headlamp (mounts on front fender/lowrider brace) and to rack-mounted tail lamp. Lamps not included, void where prohibited by law, consult your physician if you experience any of these symptoms.

You also get the currently installed pair of 50 mm VO "hammered" fenders and a pair of new, never-mounted Berthoud stainless steel 45 mm fenders.

Looong, more-than-1010-long rear dropouts that have had 1/4" cut from bottom front to ease wheel installation and removal, cuts primered. Frame no longer has Joe Bell job, just a nice powdercoat.

I seek a single speed mountain bike with a top tube close enough to my road bike 56-to-57 effective c-c length that I can install a drop bar. Rigid 26ers considered if you have ss-ified the rear wheel. A Medium Monocog 29er would be the cat's pyjamas. I have fevered dreams of installing a 52 t crank to drive a 17 t cog on that S3X hub for 89/67/57 or so, or maybe not.

Hi Patrick.

I used to be way into single speeds until I moved up into the higher elevation. I have a monocog frame and also a rig. And an old Fisher I SS’d (but it still has a suspension fork you’d have to change out.)

if you are interested in any of them, I can send you pics and measurements.

Kim: I'm interested; thanks for replying. I'd expect to trade the frameset + bits for a complete, rideable Monocog 29er (my ~2010 Monocog 29er cost about $500 new in 2010), each party paying own shipping.

What size is your M 29er? Condition? I would indeed like to see photos.

Thanks, Patrick

It’s just the frame and wheels. And maybe seat post. I have to go check.

I don’t need your bike tho. I have way too many !

I was going to give these frames to my old non-profit (bicas).  you could just slide them some donation. And have it for the shipping - (but then you’d still have to build it.)

 NO pressure - if you are still wanting pics lmk

Kim: Do I understand correctly that you are offering frame + wheels for postage? I am indeed interested, and will happily make a donation to Bicas. Thanks very much.

What is the size? And yes, please, do send photos.

I really enjoyed my ~2010 Monocg 29er. I had been playing around with an also very nice (in fact, top model for its time) Diamond Back Axis Team ("quad butted"!) with elegantly svelte straight-leg fork and very '90s smoke fade paint. I'd built it up as a sort of 26" Fargo with 2X9 friction drivtrain (and TA Pro 5 Vis crank on custom Phil 145 mm spindle!) and full fenders and rack, then converted it with ENO hub first to mid-60s fixed gear with Big Apples for all-rounder type riding; very nice bike. But I wanted to try a 29er, so bought the Monocog and modified it with Salsa Bell Lap bar and 42 X 19 for a 64" gear for combination pavement/local flat but sandy bosque trail riding. I do miss it, even though it was a tank.

It’s a tank alright - I loved it tho.

It will be happy for a new chance in beautiful NM. 

Let me fish it out and send you photos.

you can see if it’s what you need

Sorry Patrick.

(it js in fact a small frame and not a medium.) 

Hopefully someone else in here has a medium!

Patrick, I don't see a size listed for your frame. 

[tarik saleh]

Ermahgerd!  I have it!  I have the perfect trade!  It is a circa  2011 size medium (~18” or so) single speed pugsley! It answers all of the questions including ones that are not asked recently but have been posed previously.  4” tires!  Single speed! Perfect for arroyo honking or bosque  riding. The world is your oyster on the west side.  Hit an arroyo and keep until you hit a Pueblo boundary and then turn around.  The only reason I am getting rid of it is that I am not fit enough to enjoy single speed fat biking in the snow on our hilly to mountainous terrain.  I even have a new fork for it so you can put anything cages on the fork,  and jam the bars as high or low as you want.  

It has a cassette single speed rear wheel and a freewheel single speed front wheel so you can run it fixie if you want. Offset 135 geometry for swappabikity front-rear! It has avid  BB7 brakes!  It has a generous Q factor you never knew you needed! I even have fat bike clamp on fenders! The symmetry of this trade is mind blowing!!! 

It is steel! So it is real!  And Dave Porter or Chauncey can modify the bejabbers out of it when you decide it needs a DT shifted AW hub!!!

Seriously.  I am even allegedly in NM and will keep the bike in the correct state forever.  

Please contact me off list for more details Patrick, via email,  tariksaleh at gmail.  I would keep this off line but I can’t believe how perfect a solution for the almagamation of all your bike desires and needs this bike fills. So I want everyone to revel in the perfectitude!!!!

In all seriousness I can get you geometry so you can figure out if it actually works for you,  but generally I like lots of stand over on my fat bikes so I tend to ride smaller bikes. Happy to meet in Santa Fe for an arroyo honk test ride or something. 

Tarik
