    FS: Trek ML 60, 20 inch wheels

    Trek ML 60 -20 inch wheels -1x6 Gripshift -rigid The bike is located in western Morris County. The headset needs to be tightened a hair but I cannot find my old headset wrenches.. The last kid moved up to 24" wheels so I don't need it any more. I think I paid $25 or $50 for this a few years...

    Who went bikepacking this weekend?

    I saw someone with a loaded up hardtail (maybe it was rigid? frame pack, seat bag with a yellow pad underneath, handlebar roll) roll through Long Valley on Saturday late morning to lunchish. A little while later, I saw the same lucky bastard heading west on 46 Hackettstown. We want a trip report.

    Wanted: suspension fork, 26in, tapered, air spring, 120-130mm travel

    I'm building up something for one of the kids. Anyone have a 26in fork in the 120mm to 130mm travel range with a tapered steerer and an air spring? I'm sure I can make any axle style work. I'll try to guess at a minimum steerer length tonight. Budget is more important than...

    FS: 2 inch hitch rack, Advantage Sportsrack Glideaway, used

    I recently picked up a tray style hitch rack so this one has to go. No unreasonable offer refused. Really. A trade for lousy beer will be seriously considered. Come pick it up in central Morris County. I might be able to deliver it if you are not too far. I used this for many trips to ME...

    Replacing a memory

    A friend just found an old Voodoo Bizango frame to replace his Bokor that was stolen a while ago. The Bokor frame was a warranty replacement for his first real bike, a late 90s Voodoo Hoodoo. My buddy says the bottom bracket is shot. Can anyone ID the XT crankset and tell me what sort of...

    wanted: 1-1/8 threadless headset

    I need a headset for a classic Voodoo build for a friend. Clear out your parts bin and help out a rider without a working bike. He is looking for budget friendly parts. Sob story here - http://www.mtbnj.com/forum/threads/1-1-8-suspension-fork-26in-xc-air-spring-preferred.37091/

    1-1/8 suspension fork, 26in, XC, air spring preferred

    I'm looking for a 1-1/8 threadless fork to help out a friend with a new-to-him Voodoo Bizango. He is going to give me a head tube length tonight so I can estimate a minimum steerer length. Canti or disc brake is fine. One of us can pick up the fork anywhere between Oakland and Middletown...

    The end of an era...

    I think I just retired the last part that hitched a ride on my old Bridgestone MB-1. I remember wanting to desperately get rid of the 28/38/48 sized boat anchor crankset that came stock on that bike to make it easier to get up hills and over logs. Compact drive and microdrive stuff had just...

    Wanted: 26" rear wheel, rim brake compatible

    I was on my way up Patriot's Path heading towards Lewis Morris this afternoon and blew up my rear hub. So, I'm looking for a rim brake compatible (or semi-compatible) rear wheel so I can ride tomorrow and Sunday. Anyone have something hiding in the corner of the garage? Old LX or XT stuff is...

    Top tube length: 26 vs 29

    If that check from Ed McMahon ever shows up, I would love to pick up a new bike. I'm tall (~6'4") so I think a 29er would be an appropriate replacement. I believe my old steel bike fits me well with its 24.3" top tube. Is there a top tube rule of thumb when switching to 29" wheels? My...

    Randolph rider getting back on the bike

    I have been off my hardtail for the better part of a decade. I used to ride a bit at Huber and Hartshorne with a friend in Monmouth County but he moved out of state and I lost interest. My first real bike was a Bridgestone MB-1 (I miss those thumbshifters) which I rode for a couple thousand...
