It was a joke hidden in hyperbole You never have to ask if someone rides a single speed, they'll tell you within the first 30 seconds of meeting them....... 😁

That'd be the best day of my life

This has been my experience as well. I've seen more sh*tty behavior from Strava users stroking their e-peen than I've ever seen ebikes in the wild. This includes runners as well. To me it's more of a clash of end user personalities. I'm always down for putting more people on bikes, but we live in a country that's not down for putting much money into anything for the common good. Bike access to overcrowded trails will ultimately an issue.

IMHO, a lot of people in the south are lazy AF. Too focused on 4th meal I suppose.

So what are you buying?

every day

Some rum i picked up last week on vacation. pretty tasty on teh rocks.

Selling some stuff that I bought for the wife and she used once or not at all. Interested, PM with an offer. 661 Comp AM knee pads size small. New, never used. Bell super 2 size small. New, never used. 661 Rhythm knee/shin guards. Used once, no damage. 661 Rhythm elbow guards. New, never used. And also; Bell reflex size large. New, never used.

The ONLY thing a local bike shop can offer is good customer service, and if they're not providing that, they'll be gone.

But they only go to 3.6🤮 First good series on HBO in a long time. Sorry for hijack

Same here. There's no way i could have afforded some of the bikes ive had if i bought complete. Out of the two dozen bikes ive owned, 5 were bought complete, two of which were bought new, on sale for 30% off.

Good price on an AL 130mm frame https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2598454/

Had one of those. Fun bike for it's time

^ this Usually run XTR/X0 shifters with lesser derailleurs. IMHO, the rocks here are too grabby for $200+ derailleurs

two wheel in buda. last stand whitestone im sure theres more but thats off the top of my head

Awesome! Reimers has been a go-to for us since we moved here. Glad to hear trails are being expanded and we're totally down for some volunteer time this fall.

Oh shit, late to this one. Sorry to hear about this man, and GL with the surgery tomorrow!

If a complete bike is being sold for 35-40% off, i'd compromise a little on spec and upgrade components down the line. An LBS selling a 2+ y/o bike for 20% off is not even worth the drive. In my experience, building from scratch is always the best option

cheat day in bisbee AZ. winter warmer barrel aged dark belgium

Glad to hear Jake's treating you well🤣. Still miss that bike

Maybe time to look into some overbuilt aluminum frames like Transition, Kona ETC?
