My Final Decision...
SO I finally made my Decision. I am building th Pipeline. I had a long thought about an Azonic DS-1 that I saw in the Buy n Sell fr 500.00. But I figured that I could not go that route and pay out a chunk of cash in one go. I figured that I would be better off doing something where I can pay bit by bit. So the Pipeline is being overhauled, and built. It'll have:
'99 Pipeline Psylo XC 20mm 5" travel Single ring upfront on Truvative Husselfelt Cranks 8 Speed Cass. SRAM Chain Shimano Rapidfire rear shifter V-Brakes front and rear Crap WTB Tires temporarily Sigma E front wheel/20mm hub Rhyno Lite on Deore hub rear Basic stem, and my .243 bar Basic post and saddle FSA headset, and grips!! I'm going to get the rear hub switched over to my other Sigma-E as well. Rocky Cycle has given a really sweet deal on the parts and stuff. I pick it up on the 15th. I am excited to have this bike. It'll be for 4X, urban and some XC duty... Any comments? Pics will come when it's built... and yes I'll paint it asap... Black. |

'99?
 I respect sprucing up something old rather than being a consumer whore though. Kudos |

Here's the idea. I'll also have the saddle up for XC, but this is the idea. I know it's old, but I had to use it. I got off of Zedbra for a case o beer (the cash equivelant anyway  )So I figure that I'd make use of it. I'll get a big comfy saddle, for the days when we'll take my Mom, and Elaine's Mom out for bike rides  All I know is that I'll be happy. And maybe next year or something... if I've killed it off, or I've gotten another raise, I'll buy a good frame, and do a swap, but for now... It'll be my 2nd hackster.

my buddy picked up a nice pipeline in the summer. it had hayes mags(front lever was broken), jr.t, vanilla rc, xt all around with race face cranks. its nice, and it only cost him 1000 at a pawn shop(he lives in the ghetto so there is lots of stolen crap in them). i think the frame is a 2000 or 2001.

if you want a cheap frame look at the azonic steelhead a killer ride at a great price. Otherwise nice bike new stuff is always fun.
