Yep pee30wee, still riding and loving every bit of this bike! Thanks to you and vpc66 for the kind words, I appreciate it, always nice to hear feedback from people you respect! Your A2R would be a great frame to do a 96'er conversion, the geometry is pretty well suited, and since you're a tall guy that'll help even more. I took a look to see if you have anything near you for the build, you're in luck!

I'd offer the guy $50.00, it is brand new and they do go for $110.00, but if it's a useless part to the guy. Since you'll only need a single disc brake, I can help you out, I have an extra set of Hayes mechanical disc brake. I can sell you a single super cheap. You'll only need to land a 29er front wheel and you'll be well on your way. You can have my set of tires pictured on my RASKAL, I'm putting a new set GEAX tires on today. See, you're build is already coming together.
Yeah, the girls (wife and daughter) at home are pissed at me today, bikes getting in the way (as usual), they headed to Disneyland with our annual passes and I stayed home to mess with my collection. Get used to it, by that I mean get used to them being pissed at you, that would be my advise to anyone when it comes to what we love... the women and bikes in our lives! Speaking of my collection, I'm off...
Thanks again for the kindness!
Peace,
