Rode my bike around for the first day in a while and forgot how sick it is. Got this modified scott mountain bike for less than 300$ a while back. Such a lucky find. For these rough Seattle streets it’s so nice to have big tires. The blue hits are my favorite

This is not my bike, just this model. After Flickr ransomed everyone's photographs, I lost any photo I had of a bike from before the advent of the iPhone.

Been riding this badboy since 2019. Doing my daily commute with this, no matter what. Rain, snow or Wind I dont give a fuck.

I am glad, it is an E-bike, because I have two bad knees and the electric assistance really helps me during my daily commutes

Looks sick. How has the belt drive been treating you? And where’s the battery on that thing?

Sick photo btw.

damn, that is drool-worthy

now that I have finally moved into my house "in the 'burbs", I need to find a way to budget in a decent mtb. Lots of uncharted hills to explore

I've been drinking too much Grant Peterson kool-aid lately and I offer no apologies

87 Peugeot frame stripped
Unbranded fork from the co-op, guessing it's a Sunlite or Dimension
XT rear hub/Alfine dyno front hub, laced to Rhynolites
XT FD and RD
Deore 38/28 crankset because 1x conversions are kind of always terrible
11-34 cassette (edit: 10 speed cassette)
Microshift 10s thumbies
Shimano non-series v-brakes
65cm Riv Tosco bars
120mm Nitto stem
Brooks saddle
Fabios Chest bag
VO front rack
Supernova front and rear dyno lights

Nice!!! The Microshift shifters work even though you're not using a 10-speed rear cassette?!

IIRC Microshift Thumbies are adjustable between indexing and friction.

Sorry I should have actually mentioned this is a 10s cassette lmao!

But yeah in friction mode (which these are and which I prefer b/c grouch) they'll work with nearly anything as long as you have the limit screws adjusted correctly.  The throw might feel weird and the sweet spot gets harder to hit as you add more cogs to the cassette, but friction don't care what drivetrain you have (for the most part, there's always an outlier here and there).

For me, friction shifting beyond 8 speeds is madness inducing.

I can't speak for the Thumbies, but I grabbed an Advent X group for my hardtail build during the summer of 2020 (when components were functionally impossible to get) not expecting much, and it has been great. It's not XTR, but the shifting is light and crisp, as good as any of the mid-to-low tier Shimano groupsets in its price range. The fact that the cassette fits a standard Shimano HG freehub body is super nice, because there is more or less no time in my life when I am in need of a 10 or 9t small cog, and the install base for this standard is gigantic. Frankly, it's the entry-level 1x10 group which Shimano should have introduced back in ~2010, when people were just cobbling together their own 1x groups using chain keepers and re-drilling derailleurs for extra spring tension.

Microshift road still looks like complete dogshit, though.

I've used several versions of their thumbies and they're great, but that's the only Microshift experience I have.  From what I've heard though everything manysnakes said is true.  Great 1x MTB group, road group works great but looks dumb as fuck.

That Peugeot is sick.

 I built this thing up in November right after the frames dropped but regret running the purple accents because that's what all the other builds on instagram seemed to do. It's a crust scapegoat. I have this and a black mountain monstercross single speed. I developed anxiety about riding on the roads and just dumped my allez for cheap on craigslist and it paid for the crust frame.

I know I’ve seen a couple skate racks amongst the bikes here.

I picked one of these up the other day and it works beautifully

Microshift quality is absurd for their prices. Lets enjoy this before the prices get high.
