This
bike was built up for a return customer who has had 2 very nice suspension
bikes for the past few years, but wanted a hard tail for the easier
days, longer events, and long dirt road style rides. Her husband had
already purchased a 29er Gunnar from us last year, so we offered that
up as our first suggestion for hand made, nice hard tail bike. She
didn't want the 29er, but still wanted a nice steel frame...so the
Standard 26 Rock Hound is what we chose.

Both
of her other bike were pink, or at least at one point were pink. So
this bike she wanted to keep the pink, but in a more subtle way. So
we of course put on the Chris King Headset and Then matched it to
the pink Chris King bottom bracket. Using some old parts and a few
new ones we were able to get this bike sized up properly and running
just the way she liked.
