Build is a bit hit n miss but TPC is good to deal with and will negotiate a little offline if you try. Trek looks good man and the reviews on that bike are pretty good and will be fun on SM.

did you see this😈 https://www.theproscloset.com/products/mondraker-foxy-carbon-r-large-bike-2018?gclid=Cj0KCQiAh9njBRCYARIsALJhQkHcCP8IZj1ghgm0SIkhVRjuajx0BIIH4TiFDqLZCRWbFhIth38PqJUaAjWjEALw_wcB

Prices are very competitive for frames and the geo looks close enough to get the job done. The new PB review of the 27.5 is pretty positive, particularly when it came to the suspension. Canfield knows suspension and it shows on this and their own bikes. Hoping someday they'll start building aluminum frames again and would love to see them reintroduce the idler setup they used on the jedi.

Transition is a solid choice. I was really surprised by how well the sentinel climbed. Were you looking into mondraker a ways back? TPC has a fairly good deal on a foxy right now: https://www.theproscloset.com/products/mondraker-foxy-carbon-r-large-bike-2018?gclid=Cj0KCQiAh9njBRCYARIsALJhQkHcCP8IZj1ghgm0SIkhVRjuajx0BIIH4TiFDqLZCRWbFhIth38PqJUaAjWjEALw_wcB Also, don't rule out a used or leftover balance if you can find one. Very efficient suspension for pedaling considering the amount of travel they offer. Hopefully they get their act together and start building some bikes again. https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2458416/

Saw the vids on IG and was surprised to see that. He's definitely one to give that fork a proper test. P.S. Was he the first to clean the climb up the entrance to cat?

Anything overbuilt and made from aluminum with 6" of travel and modern GEO. In addition to the previously mentioned GG offerings, id consider: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/nomad https://www.knollybikes.com/warden https://www.transitionbikes.com/Bikes_Patrol.cfm https://www.commencalusa.com/PBSCCatalog.asp?ActionID=67174912&PBCATID=3534532 The nomad will be the worst climber of the four. Narrowed my selection down to one of these two, climbing be damned. http://konaworld.com/process_165.cfm https://www.commencalusa.com/PBSCCatalog.asp?ActionID=67174912&PBCATID=3044467

Keeping with the spanish theme, this is one of our favorite local bands. Grupo puts on a hell of show, and your ears will be ringing from the wall of sound they bring!

Saw this guy playing at at our local cidery last friday. Not exactly my style of music, but he was really good and might be of interest to you. https://www.anthonygarciamusic.com/guitar

Buddy of mine converted an older lefty to be used on his salsa fatbike with 4.5" tires. Had a strange dish/spoke configuration. He gave up on that POS fork and went back to rigid.

From my perspective, that was completely intentional.

Primer will be fine. FWIW, I'm down to just one rig, a flexy-stay 100mm 29 that I plan on riding there. Failing that, they rent downhill sleds at SM. This summer I'll pick up a used process 165 or high pivot commencal supreme sx for spider and cat mountain.

So why do you ask😈

Seth posted his spider mountain video for his patreons today. Video was well done, and will probably drive quite a bit of interest for the resort for people outside the enduro/local circles. Will probably be on YT tomorrow at latest

lucky bastard. Seen some PIL and that was as close as I got. "I am an antichrist I am an anarchist Don't know what I want But I know how to get it I wanna destroy passer by" First verse of that song was a declartion, like a bomb going off when i heard it as a kid. Music was never the same for me after that.

especially if you were into the punk scene

On the short list of songs to be played at my funeral. Thanks Stanhope

bwaa haaa haaa quoting scripture again. wall of text next? then round out the evening with some additional youtube copy/paste/posts?

As a recovering skateboarder, I look at spider mountain more like a skatepark. It's a sanctioned & confined area thats free of pedestrians, cars, offers support for first aid and most importantly, a place where i can improve my skillset and abilities until i'm ready to call it a day. As mentioned in the other risk thread, the penalty for failure is pretty high on a lot of trails around austin, and isnt the best place to safely push your limits. I've been watching the vids and pretty stoked to go, especially seeing they also rent DH sleds.

This is where im at. For $50 im G2G for a drive out there and HOPEFULLY they'll eventually build a bar. At that point, I'm all in We had two kids racing in NICA and that got expensive f@cking fast. This will be a no brainer
