What's porn about this? It's a shitty bike that doesn't even look that good, if it wasn't for the fat tyres it'd look like 99% of 90s rigid MTBs.

Any suggestions for someone looking to build up a 90's frame? I'm eyeing a few Rocky Mountain frames because they're easy to come by but would be open to other ideas. As of now, I have a '97 Judy XC to toss onto a frame and would end up building a more "modern" wheelset. The rest of the components are a mystery right now but I'd probably take the same route as the wheelset.
>>954378
Yeah dropbar mountain bikes always ended up looking a little strange.
>>954380
(preface: the below all pertains to specifically to Shimano. Often applies to other brands as well but not guaranteed to be correct)
No point in going older than 8-speed unless you're building a very specific vintage bike - 7 speed and earlier predates the practice of using shift ramps on cogs, so they don't shift anywhere near as well. The cassette body width was the same for 8, 9, and 10 speed generations, so there's a plethora of stuff (from 20+ years old to much more modern) that you can throw an 8-speed cassette on - or you could even use an 11-speed compatible hub and throw a spacer behind the cassette.
You'd be looking for Deore LX M565/M566/M567 components, Deore XT M737/M738/M739, or XTR M900/M950.
I really like the black LX parts, they have a reputation for being tougher, and they're severely undervalued on ebay compared to XT and XTR.
On the other hand, 8-speed stuff is old enough that you're always going to be hunting, and stuff's only going to get rarer/more expensive. Cassettes in particular are already hard to find in good shape.
MTB 9-speed debuted around '99, so it wouldn't exactly be period-correct, but maybe close enough for your purposes - and there are a lot more parts available.

..listen, buddy, I don't know who you are or what kind of cycling you do. Me, I'm a road cyclist on a local team. I train 6 days a week, and in a normal week the 7th day is in the gym doing core strengthening. Yesterday I did 30 minutes continuous at Threshold, a new PR for me. Looking at doing a TT this year, for the first time since I got hurt a few years back, and I think I can win one, or at least place in the top 5. Not bragging, just establishing who I am and what I'm about. Long rides at Threshold are no picnic.
There are two kinds of cyclists: Competitors, and everyone else. I don't care what kind of bike we're talking about, or what terrain you ride on, or how many days or how many miles a week, everyone falls into one of those two categories. The riders who are not competitors? They'll back off if it's starting to get uncomfortable. Why? Because they have *no reason* to push themselves that hard. In terms of training zones, if they push past Endurance and into Tempo or beyond, they won't stay there for more than a very short amount of time before backing off, because it's *uncomfortable* for them, and they don't feel the need to go that fast.
Competitors? They aren't pushing themselves to the point of it being abject suffering for no good reason, they know that on the other side of that suffering, there are *gains*. They know that as the mesocycles go by, they'll be able to go a little faster and a little longer because of that suffering, and they know that from those gains, comes getting that much closer to winning races, or that town-line sprint, or being first to the top of that big climb on the weekly fast group ride, or whatever it is that, for them, translates into 'competition'. Usually it's about some race or another, but it can even mean being the first to the top of that one big climb on the weekly group ride, or just beating your own PR on a set course you ride alone every week. There's a challenge, and they feel the need to meet it.

The paintjob is crazy and that frame has some damn sexy curves. I like Anneke's even more, with the 170mm fork making it more aggressive.

Is that a track frame with a road conversion, tho? Also, how tall is this rider, like 6'4"?
>>954504
Nah, Cannondale 2.8 road frame w/ the cantilevered rear dropouts.
But anyone who throws fixie flatbars on a criterium bike is a faggot IMO
>>954635
I don't mind it :^)
Then again I also don't mind hot man meat in my butt.
>>954447
What are those cranks?
>>954380
>>954381
Thought about this some more, and if you want to build a bike that at least appears period-correct, you really should stick with 8-speed.
Shimano really beat their early 9-speed groups with the ugly stick - XT M750/M760 is hideous IMHO. XTR M960 is a really handsome group but is only rapid-rise on the rear derailleur - if you don't know what that means, look it up so you know what you're getting into. Ditto for XT M750. XTR M960 also used proprietary BCDs for the chainrings on the crankset so spare chainrings are super expensive.
Shimano's last generation MTB 9-speed (XT M770/XTR M970) looks pretty good and are still my groupsets of choice when I build up touring bikes, but they're visibly modern.
SRAM's early 2000s 9-speed gear was really good and wouldn't look *too* out of place on a late 90's period-ish build.
What are you thinking for brakes? Rim or disc?
>>954856
They look sorta like old Shimano FC-6207 cranks, or similar. Big BCD, maybe 144mm? Possibly an old Sugino crank?
>>954426

There is one (and only one) thing wrong with this bike.
What is it?
>>959982
Rim brakes
>>959982
Gold chain
>>959982
Garbon tubes, seat mast topper and 3 primary colors
Also doesn't have a saddle and the handlebars don't have drops.

>do i win?
>>960002
Dingdingding!!
>>960004
So rim brakes were the problem after all then.
>>960005
No.
Any oldschoolers in da house say hey!
Ho!
>>960024
it's a pointless re-positioning, one which only serves to make wheel changes slower and causes the brake to become dirty far more easily.
>>960110
The brake unlock is usually up around the cockpit, so that's not a problem.
There are ostensibly benefits to aero or perhaps comfort via the seat stays, but I agree with the dirt problem. It's a pain in the ass. Harder to adjust and deal with too, since I don't have a stand.
>>960110
It allows for a more consolidated cable routing though.

I really like that RD, but removing material from a narrow quill stem, and engraving a crank arm where it would be scuffed up by use are dubious choices for a bike that's going to be ridden, and art bikes that aren't going to be ridden automatically lose some cool points imho.
>>960198
Disc brakes either don't line up perfectly with QRs or need a little bit longer with a thru axle.
It's a much of a muchness really.
That said I really wish I had waited a while and got a disc road bike. They're just so much nicer to use.
>>960207
Enjoy going slower than necessary and eroding your precious carbon rims with your inferior braking.
>>960207
I hope you have a chaincase to protect your self from that nasty chainring too.
>>960087
No one said hey or ho;_;
A bike without a chain sounds cool

Goddamn RAAM is so fucking miserable. Look at that guy, he looks like he's dying.

Thanks. I am actually machining a new upper link for the forks. They have crack. Expect a thread on it soon.
>>960475
How much did it cost you to build that up?
>>960476
Not as much as you think. It started as my sisters cheap specialised rockhopper. She moved away and just gave it to me. I Polished the frame. Put the saint disc brakes and Chris King headset from my trials bike. Got the Look Fornales forks for a steal (no disc mount) and then just dropped some big money on the saint cranks and Hadley hubs / Sun rims wheelset.
My favourite build. 6+ years of daily riding and its still like new :)
>>960473
I read that they sleep so little that by the end of the race they're basically hallucinating and can't remember shit.
There's a line somewhere between hardcore and stupid, and that seems a bit ridiculous.
>>960488
When you say you ride it around the city, is it JUST that or do you still hit trails?
It's a beautiful bike, fork looks a bit weird though. Not interested in putting a rigid on?
>>960504
Agree completely. And yeah, they hallucinate balls, a couple guys have died from exhaustion-related ills.
>>954463
listen, buddy, I don't know who you are or what kind of fucking you do. Me, I'm a professional on a porn team. I fuck 6 days a week, and in a normal week the 7th day is in the gym doing penis strengthening. Yesterday I did 30 minutes continuous at Threshold, a new PR for me. Looking at doing a TT this year, for the first time since I broke my penis a few years back, and I think I can creampie one, or at least place in the mouth. Not bragging, just establishing who I am and what I'm about. Long fucks at Threshold are no picnic.
There are two kinds of porn actors: Competitors, and wankers. I don't care what kind of scene we're talking about, or what woman you cum on, or how many days or how asses a week, everyone falls into one of those two categories. The men who are not competitors? They'll back off if it's starting to get dry. Why? Because they have *no reason* to push themselves that hard. In terms of fetish scenes, if they push past interracial and into gangbang or beyond, they won't stay there for more than a very short amount of time before backing off, because it's *uncomfortable* for them, and they don't feel the need to fuck.
Competitors? They aren't pushing themselves to the point of it being abject suffering for no good reason, they know that on the other side of that suffering, there are *gains*. They know that as the shoots go by, they'll be able to go a little faster and a little deeper because of that suffering, and they know that from those gains, comes getting that much closer to directing your own movies, or whatever it is that, for them, translates into 'competition'. Usually it's about some bitch or another, but it can even mean being the first to the top of that one big cumshot on the pornhub main page, or just beating your meat on a set you shoot alone every week. There's a challenge, and they feel the need to meet it.

I appreciate your imagination, but in fact when you use this and adjust the chain tension properly (just as tight as on any other singlespeed bike) there's no way it could slip out, unless by
>the slightest bump
you mean a 3 ft downhill drop, and even then it likely couldn't. And even if it would slip out, it would just fall off and that's all what'd happen.
