Another Great Facebook find!

17:15 a good all around cleaner I use is Simple Green®. I also use it on my chain. I use it undiluted & then thoroughly rinse in water, let air dry & lube each link pin.

I have a 95 930. It had the STX group set (unfortunately the shifters were swapped out to grip shifters). Anyways, I converted it to an XT 10 speed 1x. Changed bars, stem and put a quill adapter to accept the 31.8 mm bars. With the tires it had on there, it weighed 23 pounds. I have since put some heavier tires on it.

Great find❤.I have a Trek 1220 road bike and it has become a favorite of mine ❤.

[@jackcarter233]

Rigid bikes are perfect. Light & low maintenance.

[@kimoarmstrong3519]

The LX derailleurs acted like XT ones with the upgraded shifters, but were heavier. I ran XTR shifters because I got them used at a steal.

[@CryptJeeper]

love that bike. The xt group and original wheels are a sweet bonus

[@brantmcfarland517]

Good job on the find. That’s a great bike to have. My brother-in-law has one in rough condition I could get for free. After seeing this it may be worth repairing. I would have never thought that they were worth that much. I’ll call with the info on it and price some parts from you and see if it’s worth fixing. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed the video.

[@alloutbikes]

Thank you!👍

[@daniellarson3068]

People like the parts availability and that they are easier to work on. I have a couple of Schwinn hybrids.

Scandium handlebars , a carbon stem and carbon bar ends for the 970 from 1995/6 .

[@gad3]

900 frame were the best, i rode an 800. Great part on 970. One correction. We have smoother trails now. But also newschool trails, as susupension of over 100 mm is needed only if you ride fast on those. Usualy jumping

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

I just found a set of 739 combinations , new old stock in my store room . I have 740's on my Trek 4300 custom build which are in excellent condition .

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

Jason , do you ike the 2008 Trek 4300 ?; Mine is custom build which can be seen at Fulcher's Cyclery Panania Australia on Google images . Let me know what you think of the configuration .

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

I have a set of 735 as well as a set of 737 combination units .

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

Jason , you would have been in your early 20's when the 970 was released .

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

The market for older bicycles is strong in Australia at the moment . Not many bargains , unfortunately . Gumtree Sydney will illustrate this .

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

I had Manitou Mach 3SX forks on my 1994 GT Bravado .

[@jackcarter233]

That bike is high end

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

A local has the 1996 , . 990 .

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

My brother has been scammed on Facebook for thousands of dollars in antiques and science fiction memorabilia .

[@scrappyhustler7467]

Itlll be fine dude went from minibikes to pedal bikes wtf 😂😂 issac who kid napped u and when will cars and cams see u again?

[@waktosha7378]

I have the credit to buy a new bike, but I don't have enough cash to buy a used bike off market place. Isn't that ironic?

[@josephhaddakin7095]

If you ride a lot, I would take advantage of new technology & use your card. Thru-hub frame, hydro disc brake, tubeless rims, threadless headset. If you don't ride a lot, save some money & pay cash like this video.

[@waktosha7378]

@josephhaddakin7095 I do ride a lot. I have a dozen bikes.

[@victorvnl3675]

moron tubing means "more on ends" meaning the tubes were butted with more material on each end than in the middle.

[@alloutbikes]

Never heard that. What's crazy is we were selling Specialized bikes at the time the Rickhopper bikes were using that tubing. Thanks for the info.👍
