Broken seatpost, front shifter, rear axle (probably when stealing back). But yeah, I am too, it's one heck of a story now.

I'll see how the hub turns out first but thank you, I will pm you. My hub plan already isn't working out as well as hoped as the hub on the bike wasn't able to be disassembled so I told them to go ahead and rebuild the wheel on the new hub.

It was the axle. So, my options are a new wheel, a rebuild kit, or a new hub. Oddly, a set (not a lefty front, but front and back) of coda 4 bolt hubs are up on Ebay for $50 CDN which, given I figured out the rotor issue, seems like perhaps an option that keeps things a little more stock (I...

So, here is the result of chosing a disk that had some meat in the center, marking out the missing holes, and grinding material away around the marks. Unfortunately, I'm now off to figure out the clunking noise that was not the disc brake! Axle (er skewer, maybe not the same thing?) seems ok...

I think the metal is just a type of stainless. Probably something they have and probably something they have done before.

Well, since the front is a lefty, it seems to make more sense to deal with the hub and figure out a decent solution. OG Lefty hubs don't seem easy to come by either, and I would assume are usually 4 bolt anyways. Customer laser cut version could make sense too, from someone like sendcutsend...

So, I found out that this '00 700sx super V I have has the funky and short lived coda hubs with a 4 bolt disc pattern. I only noticed because after my recent "steal your bike back" adventure, I think I warped the back disc, and then noticed it was only secured by 2 screws as that's all that...

I was able to "steal back" the bike after it showed up on Craigslist. Would have tried the police but opportunity arose and the police didn't indicate they were willing to do too much. If I had a serial number and an address they might swing by and see if it was outside was the reply so I was...

Don't laugh but this is the bait bike. Like the 2nd super V I bought, I will paint this matte black and put on some yellow cdale decals coming in from eBay. For $60 CDN, it's better equipped than I needed, but the disc brakes and moto style fork I figured would match the look of the lefty. I'm...

LOL, that was same with me and the prophet I bought although the size was too small (this listing has everything except the size). Can always make an offer for just the fork. Offer to send him a set of adapter bearings, dude can put another fork on and sell the bike that way. Like I...

Saw another listing for a prophet with a lefty max. Not really local to me but close enough it popped into a particular search on FB. $500 CDN https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/558641776460578/?mibextid=dXMIcH

Just to wrap up this thread, I did but this after the other bikes were stolen, for $100. Grip shift shifters look neat but not my thing. Headshok (sl) cartridge wasn't working but wasn't hard to fix up a bit.

Never seen this, but must be rare and is definitely vintage. $300 CDN https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1647668785721467/?mibextid=dXMIcH

Good luck!

Well, perhaps I am a glutton for punishment....but f*ck thieves. I decided to try again at a tricked out Super V. Bought the medium black and yellow SV700 '99 that was on facebook, dude was at $175 but was willing to just move it for $100. Headshok wasn't working according to seller. Bought a...
