nice Yeti, how was the climb up Sidewinder with that? Did you traverse Fat tire and drop 5?

[smmokan]

I've been slowly upgrading my SC Solo XO1 build over the last few months... with the new (to me) Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 in the back, I definitely dig it.

Upgrades and selfies on easygoing Verdi river side trails. turned into a 1x10 added xtr BRAKE and rear shifter.

With my TRc down for the moment, this has been getting most of the ride time.

Peyto Wild Bill SOC.....still my only bike...

Peyto Wild Bill SOC.....still my only bike...

I love my current Chromag, but...

Will admit to missing my Peyto Wild Bill significantly.

I was e mailing chromag a few years ago trying to get a Samurai with horizontal drop outs. They were not all that attentive then told me "just run 36-18, it works in the vert drops." I had been doing that on my Evil Imp for years and hated replacing chains as they got loose, and wanted a lighter gear. Finally I realized I was looking for someone to build me what I had in the garage. VTPOWDERCOATSYSTEMS bead blasted it for me and I looked at the welds as the frame was a decade old and ridden hard. It looked great and I had it powder coated purple with flake and have not been disappointed. New Zochi 55 r3 ti V2 this year on closeout and Bill is still the man, I always wondered if Peyto was involved in Chromag. My buddy up in Lowell has peyto wild bill soc in a 15.5 and it looked A LOT like the older 26" Samurais....Only difference I could tell is they moved to a machined chainstay yolk which likely gave better tire clearance at a short chainstay length. More porn...

I got seven years from mine. Cracked at drive-side chain-stay and upper seat tube. Repaired. Cracked again later. Passed it on to a kid in need of a frame, his dad supposedly had capability to repair it... Probably should have sent it to a real builder for repair after that, but too late now.

Peyto is now doing environmental engineeering type stuff out here, of all places. Somewhere in NH-VT-CT-MA area, last I heard. Website is now gone, but that was when I was looking to have him repair my old frame. Told me he was out of the frame building business.

He repaired this one on the chainstay and HT/DT weld....must have used plenty of materials this Bill has taken a real beating. He said he was out of the business as well but did the repair out of his garage I believe. At that point he was in Van I think...

You and those low BB bikes you love! And WTB tires to boot!

(said in jest folks, nobody get their panties in a wad)

[arild]

This is mine. Only stuff changed since this picture is that i put the screws in the pedals and removed a stem spacer. The ruling class have decided that I cannot afford a wheelset quite yet.



The hose situation is also more or less under control.

[grinch]

That does keep the weight down. She'll b fresh for the spring. Reviews have been real good

[arild]

Thinking she'll be a nice porker to ride around my woods. Seriously considering ridding myself of the dorado and get a 170mm fork and shorter shock for extremenduro radness,though. Would be 170/164mm travel then, f/r. The build is looking like it'll end up around 15kgs, considering wheels, rubber, drivetrain and such.

[yergz]

Picked up this 2011 covert for quite the deal a couple weeks ago, you could say I'm happy.
