Classic Rock Lobster TIG 26''

$1150 USD

Selling a sweet Rock Lobster TIG 26er that's been sitting in a garage for a little more than 10 years now. Going of the M950 XTR groupset I'm guessing that the frame is from the late 90's early 2000's at the latest, meaning it could easily be one of Paul's nontrager frames which is probably why I can't find a serial number anywhere on it. I do plan to reach out to Paul and get a better idea of when this one was built but I'll leave the rest of the specs here in the meantime. Newer Bontrager aluminium cockpit Chris King headset Magura Louise front hydraulic disc (probably thing I'd change on this bike but works fine) XTR rear rim brake 120mm RoxShox fork with lockout Full XTR 3x8 Groupset outside of Deore XT front der and Sun rings up front Mavic Maxtal Disc rim up front and WTB Speed Master in the back, both on Paul Hubs with Specialized Roll-x Dual 26''x2.0'' tires Tomson Elite seatpost and collar WTB Saddle This thing has been sitting for quite some time so I cleaned it up a bit and took it around the block and everything is butter smooth on it. You can really tell how dialed the geometry is on this thing as soon as you're on it, great ride as is plus the frame has tons of potential.

S-Works Tarmac 54cm

$3500 USD

For sale is a Specialized S-Works Tarmac. I am the second owner the first being journalist for a magazine who had it for a little more than a month before I purchased it without the wheels, so no carbon Roval wheels here but the roval fuse slx23 and the roval rapide sl 35 that I picked up have been a nice pairing for me. Overall it is in great shape unfortunately there is some pretty bad rub on the crankset and small paint chip near the headtube both of which I have pictured. Some changes I've since made to the bike since include a swap to a midcompact 52-36t chainring by praxis and went from a toupe pro saddle to an s-works power saddle but I'll be throwing the toupe back on unless you would like to make a deal. Specs as follow 54cm S-works Tarmac SL5 frame S-works Fact Carbon fork S-works carbon seat post S-works carbon bars Specialized Toupe pro Fizik microtex bar tape Shimano Dura Ace derailleurs, shifters and brakes S-Works carbon crankset Praxis Works Levatime 52/36t chainring Roval Fuse slx23 (front) Roval Rapide sl35 (rear) Moving and need to sell, price negotiable! Thanks!call 831-331-0672 or email to get in touch.

Pinkbike's Burning Question - Does Size Matter?

It boils down to the fact that its all about the rider in the way that a small company can provide a more personalized bike to fit the needs of a certain niche group of riders perfectly because only hundreds or thousands of customers. While a large company on the other hand has to provide a bike that appeals to all factors within that genre of riding because it will be sold to hundreds of thousands, for example certain all trail, all mountain, and gravity bikes will be designed with flat out performance and speed in mind while others will go for a high fun factor like a bikes capability for jumping, etc... Not that going balls out fast isn't fun so a large company has to find a happy medium for EVERYONE in that group while a smaller company can fit the bill to whomever they please.
