F_in Ray Of Sunshine Posted January 9, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 9, 2017 My guess is it was built by a dentist who is looking to put his kids through college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted January 9, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 9, 2017 that stem has got to be some custom fabrication. It looks like an old school stem fitted into a new style stem that's been chopped if they didn't weld it, I have no idea how it holds itself together but no, not my bike. That has a soft tail rear suspension. My old diamond back is a hardtail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 9, 2017 Share #10 Posted January 9, 2017 I suspect that superglue and duck tape were involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a question for the cognoscenti. I've never used J-B Weld. Is it water proof. Not is it water resistant, but proof. Surprisingly, most epoxies in general use aren't. They deteriorate under constant exposure to water. There are however special marine epoxies that are supposed to be water proof. This is an example of a good data sheet for epoxy: http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/594118O/3m-scotch-weld-epoxy-adhesive-ec-2216-b-a.pdf TK would approve of that.

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 10, 2017 Share #15 Posted January 10, 2017 Upon further examination, it is not water proof but only water resistant. This from J-B themselves. When fully cured, J-B Weld is completely resistant to water, gasoline, and about every other petroleum product or automotive chemical. For wet-surface or submerged water or gasoline repairs, try our SteelStik or WaterWeld. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
