I built this bike as a single speed fully rigid to a 1x7 and now as you see it here.This is my first build from a frame and components from E-bay and stuff I already had.I think I'll do all my bikes this way,it was a lot of fun and the bike is unique and done the way I wanted.

Marzocchi Bomber/WTB

Derailleurs/Shifters:

Saddle/Seatpost:

More Info:
I found this 16 inch frame-fork on E-bay with seat,seat post,bar and stem .From what I could research Supergo was a bike shop in Ca. in the 90's and sold out to Performance Bikes.The address on the frame sticker reads 1515 Wilshire,Santa Monica. Is anyone familiar with this shop and the Supergo bikes they put out?Anyway,I liked it's looks and it fits my 5ft 6in ass better than my retro Rockhopper at 20 inches.I think it's unique and cool.The chainline was too wide and caused problems so I installed a sweet Shimano bio-pace crankset designed for a narrow chainline.need new pics.

I was thinking of doing that to an old Free Spirit MTB but welding track ends on to get adjustability. And it would weigh about 22 pounds! Like you said,would be great on open fast trails. Like your setup,cheers

I too would like to install trackends one day.Making them is no problem for me but my welding skills aren't up to the job and I don't want to damage my frame.Heck,with track ends I could get back into off road fixed gear riding,it's a blast.Go and build your bike,you won't regret it and thanks for digging my bike.My bike is almost 28 pounds,I'd like to know how you can keep it at 22,nice.

Nice! I was thinking of doing the same to an old Rockhopper. You can find them on Craigslist for under $100, convert it to a solid beater/commuter. Simple and clean, nice bike.

Thanks for checking out my bike.I have ordered a set of CST BFT all mountain tires 26x2.4.Also reconfigured my chain tensioner to get more wrap on the cog,it was slipping on power climbs.
