or you could buy twenty Huffy's and just throw them out as they wear out. DaveB I've done that with the Apollo in a way... replaced almost everything on it, except the fork. Had a qick look at removing it tonight, and cant seem to figure it out yet.. :| cheers, GPL |

GPLama vs Road
On Fri, 04 Feb 2005 at 08:38 GMT, SteveA (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: DaveB Wrote: Parbs wrote: "GPLama" wrote in message . .. What model MBTs are the best value/quality for around the 2k mark? Being a 'roadie', I've always wanted a faster MTB .... 2K will get you something quite nice and "ready to race" from all the usual suspects, Giant, Specialized, Kona etc. You could even build up a nice SS from On One or Surly. or you could buy twenty Huffy's and just throw them out as they wear out. or just buy 20 Huffys and throw them out straightaway Will they give you extra propulsion if you throw them hard out the back? -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ Quantum Mechanics is a lovely introduction to Hilbert Spaces! --unk |

Parbs Ended up copping out and going a Manitou Six Sport fork.. Still an entry level fork, but feels 100% compared to what was on there.. So the entire Apollo LSX 1.4 2002 replacements since new.. Bottom bracket, Rear cones and bearings, Disc brake setup front and back - no replacement pads for the stock 'ProMax', Seat Crank arms and chain rings Chain Rear cassette Front and rear derailleur (rubber and grips, which dont count).. Fork Now I think its time to respray the frame to remove any advertising for Apollo :| Remind me never to visit VicMTB again unless I'm hardcore MTB.. I mentioned to the guy there that "this store is well out of my league for what I am after, blahblah forks for 200-300$?"... then as if in a scene from Rain Man.. I hear the word 'K-Mart' a few times... then I was pointed at some $550+ babies.. ouch! cheers, GPL |
