Yep, if you sell them, you will only buy more Homegrowns later. And miss the ones you sold. Don’t do it man!
I bought a few caps, and a couple Titec seatposts in HG size. Shipping was super quick. Thanks for the heads up.
My friend sent me some pictures. The paint has a bunch of chips in it. And it could use new decals (if I could find em, all I really need is some downtube “Schwinn”). But for $350, I think it’s a decent deal.
That’s too bad that they don’t deal with individuals. I didn’t think that many people were restoring Homegrowns back to stock, that it would warrant only dealing with painters.
Maybe someone has a painter buddy that would be willing to be a middle man and get us hooked up with some decals?
Or maybe if enough of us will commit to buying some, they would deal with us as a group?
Looks like it’s probably a 19″. You don’t see the “Phantom” style paint job very often. If it stays low, I might see if I can bid on it.
I noticed the weird build on this bike. Has an XTR front derailler (but only 1 chainring), and a regular Deore rear derailler. The higher end (supposedly) SID, and I can’t figure out what the front fork is. I don’t like the crank, if it’s a nice model let me know, because I have no idea. XT hubs, don’t know what the wheels are either. Hayes brakes. Chris Kind headset, which I like. I’ll be taking all my best parts too, and making a nice Banger, with the other two eventually becoming “Beater Bangers”
I’ve found it interesting that of the three Bangers I have, two of the chainstays say ‘Lawwill’, one is blank. And two of the carbon swingarms have the ‘Easton’ square, one does not. I only wish at least one of them had the black dropouts.
Speaking of the Gold/Silver frames, those things seem to be rare. I’ve only seen one picture of one, someone over on MTBR has it.
