I wish the manufacturers didn't market saddles as men's or women's. One of my favorite saddles is the Bontrager Affinity WSD. I've ridden men's and women's versions but prefer the WSD. They seem to have a bit softer padding in the sit bone area which is a big help to me. Wonder how many guys...

You may just need more miles to get used to the saddle and position, or it could be totally wrong for you. But most everyone complains about the saddle interface when starting out.

Paint is original but nothing else. I bought it as a frame and fork on eBay. The touring bike won't be a lot slower than a comparable vintage road frame. There are some things you could do to make it faster, mostly lighter parts, pedals, wheels and tires. I wouldn't get carried away though...

I love the touring frames. You can fit narrow tires for pavement or wide knobbies for gravel. I have several. Favorite is probably a 1985 ST500 with Suntour 7 speed build, Mavic rims and 28 mm Tufo diamond tread tubulars. Upright stem was an experiment, not so sure about that. .

Right shifter and rear derailleur must both be Alpha 3000 to index correctly. Is the noise coming from the front or the rear? If the rear is shifting OK but you are getting noise from the front derailleur in certain gears you may have to trim the front a bit. It's also possible that the limit...

See my reply in your last post.

See above. Updated my adblock, and able to post now.

Pic of whole bike would be helpful. Does seem likely to be a 1987 SR400 but the catalog says mint green and slate gray were the color options. Looks to be black in your pics. More pics, list the components. Where in IL?

The 3.0 series frames were made for several years and are basically the same. Paint/decal colors changed each year, as did component spec.

If it was all original it would have a Pepperoni fork. Recent Killer V900 sales on eBay have been in the $200-400 range.

Hard to say without much better pictures. Tires don't appear to be original. Not that that's a big concern, just makes me wonder what else has been changed.

I think that drawing attention to the suspension may have been the idea behind the two tone paint. Anyone walking into a shop would first notice the paint, then check out the suspension. I never read the description on the Omega colors before, always thought it was black. I think yellow/red...

Looks like it will ship for $14. I'll have to confirm that at the P.O. Would $20 total be fair?

I always thought my '93 Beast looks pretty nice in red, but most of the E.S.T. bikes were two colors.

Really tough to say for sure without better pictures and more information. My guess is a 1989 SR400 (with a terribly bent fork).

Cool project. That looks like a '91, so first year for full suspension. I'd prefer almost any color over silver. The black/purple '92 paint would look pretty good.

PM me with your postal code and I'll check on shipping cost.

Take some good photos of the bike and post them. Include as many decals and components as possible, as well as the serial number. What cars? I still drive a '66 Olds that I bought when it was an "old car", back in 1986. Have a '65 El Camino project, and some other 60s Chevelles and a '67...

This is the only one I have that's not in use. May be from an older frame, has seen plenty of salt. It has enough shaft to fit the 45 mm down tube of a CAAD 3. I bought it at a swap meet but have never needed it.

Glad to see it's still there. Thanks for posting.
