MemberThe blue one is not a Factory IMO. It was a standard Homegrown repainted some time ago. The seatstays don’t look tapered either. A sure fire answer would be a picture of the weld on the seatstay. Homegrown’s are a single tube fully curved, but Factory frames are 2 seperate tubes (because they are tapered) that get welded together at the top. If its a Factory, the weld beads make a “T” shape with a bead lined up with the tire.

Member$125 each is a very fair price, especially for the blue one IMO. If it was a 17″ I would be jumping on it. Good luck with Sale.

MemberWhat price are you asking for the Blue 19″ frame? I assume you’re OK with shipping? If you prefer pick-up, where are you located?
Thanks,

MemberI sold my last machined aluminum adapter for Flat Road-Hayes 22mm. I have a 3D printed version (bronze-steel) on order for test. If it works just as well, I will get a few more as stock pieces to ship out when needed. I’ll update again after the printed version arrives.

Would cost you $28 + shipping to have it 3D printed out of bronze/steele.

MemberThe adapter also fits on Rocket 88 frames.
I have 2 aluminum examples sitting on my shelf. I could also send anyone the 3D model so that you can have it printed in metal from various online marketers.

Member$100 and I’ll ship the wheels to your door with tires and tubes. The rear is a 32 hole XT hub and Mavic X517. The front is different than pictured, but only because I needed the XT front hub on another project. I had a matching red X517 28 hole and built it radial laced to a silver CODA hub that was NOS.

MemberOP, yours look like the chainsuck devices for Trek OCLV frames.

MemberI posted up on the ‘Bay with completed cables and a different (but matching) front wheel. It’s a nice bike. Priced at $250+$100 shipping. If it doesn’t sell complete at that price I’ll part it out because I need the garage space.

MemberThe hubs are XT Parallax 8-sp models. I was actually thinking of using the front hub on another project, but if it sells WooHoo. The rims are Mavic X517 and I have a matching red X517 that is 28 hole with a CODA hub.

MemberI’m feeling too lazy to finish this up, so I’ll offer up any parts from the bike here first before it goes to the Bay. Let me know in messages what part/s you may want and what price you are offering, as well as your Zip Code so I can guestimate shipping. This includes everything you see, so if you want the front triangle of swingarm let me know.
Thanks,
bikeric
MemberIt helped to have the tire somewhat deflated to get it through the brake posts. I then pumped it up to 40psi. I would probably lower to 30psi in real life, but I wanted to see if it stretched out.
Also, that’s my paint project frame back from sand-blast. I’m going to try and paint it again when the weather warms up.

MemberI thought they were Panaracer Smoke rear and Dart front. You can get repop’s still from Panaracer.
