Schwinn Straight 6

This is a 16" (Small) 2001 Schwinn Straight 6 - the Mert Lawwill bike that kicks butt.  These are hard to find; and if you notice by the prices of these on here or eBay, that are not cheap.  Admittedly, you're after the frame; the rest of the parts are just fluff.  The important thing: the frame has NO cracks.  

The highlights:

- 16" (Small) Schwinn Straight 6 aluminum frame (carbon rear)
- Rock Shox Deluxe R rear shock
- Rock Shox Psylo SL front fork (has stanchion rub, see pictures) - but functions well
- WTB Laserdisc front wheel / Mavic UST rear wheel
- Hayes front hydraulic brake / Avid BB5 rear mechanical disc brake
- Sugino / Garvin 3x crank
- Grip-Shift X-Ray 3x8 shifters
- Shimano XT front derailleur / Sram X3 rear derailleur
- Pedals not included

SOLD.

Ibis Mojo SL Mullet 69er

This is a 19" (Large) Ibis Mojo SL that's been converted to a true 69er Mullet.  It has a brand-new generic Fox fork that has Manitou internals (purchased off eBay).  Has lock-out and works great - literally installed yesterday.  The rear shock was overhauled last summer as well; Pro-Pedal is working great.  The drivetrain is brand-new, never used.  The 1x11 drivetrain is a no-name eBay brand, but works just like a Shimano XT 11-speed.  The range is 11-52t, and the chainring is brand-new.
The frame does have scratches, etc., but it has the plastic clear-coat stickers as well that have absorbed most of the blows of usage.

The highlights:

- 19" (Large) Ibis Mojo SL carbon frame
- Fox Float RP3 rear shock
- Bucklos (looks like a Fox, has Manitou internals) front fork
- Ibis 26" rear wheel, Roval 29" front wheel
- AX L-TWOO 1x11 rear derailleur / rear shifter
- Z-Race 11-speed cassette (11-52t range)
- Shimano SLX crankset
- Sram Guide RS hydraulic brakes
- Ibis handlebar / stem
- Pedals not included

SOLD.

GT STS-2 Thermoplastic

 The time has come to part ways with my high-school love; a 1997 thermoplastic GT STS-2.  I've loved this bike for years.  It is modern? ... no, certainly not.  You're not going to ride this on 'modern' bike trails - although back in the 90's, this could handle most anything around.  

I've updated this bike where possible to keep it retro yet modern: I ditched the 3x drivetrain for a 1x11.  It rides well, if you understand that 23-year-old full-suspension GT DON'T ride like a 2021 model.  The Bomber Z.3 up front certainly feels it's age with the squishy sound of open-bath oil.  Whether you can overhaul it or simply buy a better-performing SID is up to you.  

The size is tricky; it's 20" center-to-top, but 18" center-to-center.  As most bikes back in the day were 20" center-to-center as a large, I'm pretty certain it's a medium.  But because there's so little documentation to verify, I just am not sure.  I'm 5'11" and it fits me great - but I ride both mediums and larges.  So, beware of that.

Value on these is all over the place.  They are so rare and certainly retro that there's some collectors value; at the same time, I'm very aware that it's a 23-year-old thermoplastic bike.  It's more of a collectors item than anything.

The highlights:

- 18" (M) 1997 GT STS-2 frame
- Rock Shox Deluxe rear shock
- Marzocchi Bomber Z.3 front fork
- Mavic wheels
- Shimano XT 1x crank w/ ovalized ring
- L-TWOO AX 1x11 drivetrain (brand-new)
- SunRace 11x50 11-speed cassette (brand-new)
- ENVE carbon riserbar
- Bontrager XXX carbon stem
- Avid brake levers
- Shimano LX v-brakes
- Pedals not included

SOLD.
