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

MT Lemmon ride today in Tucson AZ.

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

We've lived in AZ, UT, CA, CO, NM and gonna go ride MT lemmon in tucson next week. We shall see

anyone that crosses your path? I know this feeling well.

lived off of walzem in the 90s. Glad to see nothing has changed

This^ I initially preferred bars with very little sweep but as my rides got longer, my wrist began to hurt. I'm currently running a 800mm carbon DH bar with 5* of sweep on my trailbike that i had to cut down to 780mm and will probably cut to 760mm. Its not a trail width/ tree gate issue, more of a hand placement issue where i found myself moving my hands closer inboard relieve pain. I also had to rotate them a bit to get more of a beachcruiser angle and add some ergons. Have a trip coming up next week so we'll see how it works out.

Have a ramp control leaking as well. Sent it back to MRP on Monday for repair.

new mexico is pretty backwards so ill go with that

so much truth in this

Awesome! I remember those views.....fire damage still looks crazy

Thanks. Waiting on some decals/frame protection and i can start putting it together. Hoping that SS does well here and elsewhere. It's a 2.5 DH carcass wire bead bastard with a vittoria tire insert. The front is 2.6 DHF and measures 28.5 +/- and shoves the HTA to 62.7* Its the light but it does look bent AF

Sh*tty rocks but less sh*tty than usual? 😀

This bike is a total slacker

Thanks for noticing
