Review: Chromag Darco - A Very Big Little Bike
@Solorider13: it's a custom steel single pivot, roughly dimensions of a Spire. DH casing tires and an o chain. Adds up real quick, but goes down a hill real well.

Review: Chromag Darco - A Very Big Little Bike
My Darco weighs 43lbs but hey, my enduro weighs 47lbs so I guess that's a win?

$1300 USDI rode it over the fall for three months, but then separated my shoulder in January and haven't been on it since. I'd estimate about 30 rides on it. No shuttling or park days, only chill trail riding as I have a bigger enduro bike for that stuff.
The bearings are fresh and you can see from the photos the frame looks pretty much new apart from some minor paint scuff from shoes and the chain slap under the chainstay.
Two bottles fit in the frame no problem, and everything Fezzari claims about this bike holds true. It's a great do-it-all rig if you want don't want to go the n+1 route. You can also over fork and shock it for more travel, just saying. The One-Up 240mm post fits in this frame too, all the way to the seat collar for those tall folks.
Buyer pays shipping.

$500 USDGreat enduro or bike park frame. Been well loved and maintained, but the paint has seen better days. No cracks or dents, just scuffs and wear from regular riding. I mostly used this for self shuttling rides, only has one actual park day.
I have a few different spring rates I can ship with, depending on what you want.
Buyer pays shipping, thanks for looking.

Pinner Machine Shop Releases Aluminum Brake Bleed Cups
SRAM and Hayes both use metal bleed fittings on the syringes and all (except Magura) use metal screws tightened with a wrench to close the bleed port. A finger tight bleed cup (tight enough to deal with the oring, not the tread) won't strip anything. Also, a Shimano cup wears out after about a year of heavy use so in 5 years ish you'll break even on cost.
