It's time... #singlespeedforschilling

[Matt_]

Im really struggling for the words. Pretty sure the last time JT saw this bike he was half his height.

We're honored to be able to bring Schillings bike back to singletrack 🧡💙

I'll post pics of the updates here. Though I expect most of you will see things happening as they occur (including JT beating me in a SS race by next year 😁)

@Schilling

First up was getting the brakes working, although JT will argue he doesn't need brakes 😅. Will re-tape the rims, some fresh tires and sealant, and have the kid crushing me on singletrack by Tuesday (because Monday is supposed to be 90+ degrees)

I had the pleasure of trying to chase down that bike at a lot of races, so cool you'll keep it going

 

[Juggernaut]

Love this! Remember to have JT pose for all photos sitting on the top tube all chill like.

 

[pooriggy]

Chris would be proud. JT is the perfect person to keep the Schilling legacy going.

Just when you really needed some good news, I see this. Thank You, good luck JT.

I need to dig up some classic Allaire TM or Tuesday beginner ride pics of them together ♥️

 

[Dave Taylor]

Heck yea!

This is so awesome @Matt_ . I was just watching this video from '15 W101 and there's @Schilling on that bike at 1:33.

The timing was actually crazy... Last week Serena and I were watching the same video since she's prepping for 101. We saw Chris, paused/rewinded, reminisced for a bit.
.....Not 10 minutes later Christel reach out to me out of the blue about his bike.

This was the day before a blizzard hit

From a JORBA picnic

I’ll have to dig into my photo files on my external hard drive to see if I can find more. I’m sure I will find a bunch.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Very cool, go JT!!!

 

[Matt_]

We're rolling!!

Love it!

Proper fitting today.

Yes, we definitely joked that this is mostly for nothing because he'll be standing up most of the time 😅

It's Wilderness 101 weekend. One of the last races on this bike in 2015? Serena (my wife for those that dont know) Is racing it. We're heading out there as well but will be riding the trail at Raystown.

Love all this and the future of all this. Brings back many memories of good times. I'm trying to find the finish line pictures of the W101 of Chris on that bike.
I look forward to seeing JT on this. Best kid ever.
