Bike

This one's for you E.

I've been working on a new (to me) bike. Nick found this GT Rebound frame in a junkyard, and decided he didn't want to do anything with it. So I grabbed it. 3 or so years later I've done something with it. I took all the components off my Giant Yukon and put them on the GT. Anyway, it's much lighter and simpler. I've got a SRAM 9.0 8 speed rear derailleur, LX cranks with a 32 tooth chain ring on the front and Pro Max V Brakes. I decided that since I rarely ever shift the front when on the trail I figured that I didn't need one. It's much easier. Oh year I've got an Easton bar and stem, sooooo nice.

So, E. When you get back we have to hit up some trails. They've completely redone Murphy. It's got a beginner, intermediate, and advanced loop with table tops, bridges, and boardwalks. I can't wait to ride it!

Here's the bike pics...

Update

Nothing new here. Been busy at work, and at home. I'm redoing the rock rails for my jeep. Rebuilding my M80 and building up a new (to me) GT Rebound. Oh yeah, and been playing with my RC rock crawler lately, too. I went to my buddy Josh's and broke it in 5 mins, so I had to fix it.
Now it's fixed so I've been driving it around the yard. I wish I had a rock pile in my yard.
That's all.

Quick Heep update.

I replaced the thermostat housing, thermostat, and temp sensor. Nothings changed. Everyone says it's the fan, but while I was dinking around with all that crap. I opened the radiator. Huh, the coolant looks low. There's plenty in the overflow tank. That's weird. Maybe it's just not showing in the top. The fins are wet so I know there's fluid in there. So I start it up without the cap on, and let it reach operating temp. Still no fluid. The hoses are not that hot. I turn on the heat and rev the engine a little. Ah, there's a little fluid coming through now, but not that much. At least the hoses are hot.

The above mentioned leads me to believe that the coolant is leaking into the engine at a very slow rate. HEAD GASKET!!!! DAMN!!!!

Tonight I decided to ignore the problem at hand and take my 'rusted to hell' rock rails off and try to remove the rust and paint, and prep them for a fresh coat. Well, I got them off and got the paint stripped off, but the rust is a different story. I should have done this last summer, but nooooo.....I'm to lazy. So this is the price I pay. Now I've either to to take them to get sand blasted somewhere, or try this "electrolytic rust removal" process that I found on the interweb. Looks like I've got my weekend planned........Poop.
