WTB single speed wheel, only holds a single gear, not a cassette. Spokes creak, needs to be rebuilt. Freewheel recently changed.

29ER?  Looks like it.  If so, I'm in for that.  And I can drop off that seatpost that you wanted that has been on my workbench.

Ok, I admit, I'm pretty impressed.  Might have to get a roll of fiberfix and a roll of flextape and start FIXIN SHIT

Get this. A reverb is just a regular dropper post that's actuated by hydraulic which seems pretty unnecessary. Once this is installed it's now a regular dropper post. No more bleeding and leaking.

I get it, but a MOD to a hydraulic dropper that is ~1/3 to 1/2 cost of a brand new dropper  - I don't get it.

Double post weirdness.  Sad to hear about the REVERB.  I have one "that came on the bike" and it would suck to have to change it out.

Oh my.  Awesome steel frame bike.  Love it

That is some BORED som'o'bitches!

And I love this one.  "front suspension, sturdy steel frame"  Completely forgetting about the rear suspension like it isn't even worth mentioning.  Probably weighs about #50.  Would make a fine dock anchor!

Why....yes it is a dual suspension mountain bike

From 40 years ago.  I "think" it is one of the original Trek full suspension models..or a cheap Chinese copy

I cannot unsee this

Just wondering if it is USB type C or what?  You know, asking for a friend.

Ummm.   This is a new one!

For Sale $1600 or Barter - 150cm High Quality, Life-like Doll for Sale or Barter! Has only been taken out of the box to take photos. Comes equipped with a metal skeleton, super soft TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) skin and a strikingly realistic face, could be mistaken for a real human. The softness of the TPE used differs in some areas just like a human. This doll not only has the looks but also feels very real. Comes with some clothing, Blonde wig, USB warmer (for even more realism) cleaning pot, gloves and earrings are included.

USB warmer AND cleaning pot included - hell of a deal!

You can make it a full suspension single speed though!

I already have a Trek Carbon Y1 frame and fork for that purpose!  And, I actually built it up as such and rode it a couple times to R&I and BCGB rides!

Ummmm.  Speechless

What size?
 

Well, I'm not really sure:

Center of Headtube to center of seattube - 52 cm

Same for center of BB to center of toptube along the seattube

Yep, it sure is a Bike.  That it is.  But, a $650 bike?  I think he accidently added a zero to the price.

Really fun little Bianchi Road Bike.  Setup SS with flip/flop rear hub to go fixie.  Knockoff Brooks "lookalike" saddle.  Currently setup with old moto bars, but I can put on any type bar you want. 

Everything works perfectly and rolls straight and true.

$150 obo

Another random:  Spin Doctor bike rack.  Cradles bike on BB and downtube.  Works enough.  Bike for reference only, but also for sale (not for free!)

would love the tri bars if they are still available

They are yours.  I have multiple tri bars floating around.  These are the only carbon ones, but I have some alum. ones with different bends if you like.  I can take pictures.

PM me for the address for pickup.

Items I picked up from Dirtface when she was packing to head back to AK:

Size small Pearl Izumi womens full finger gloves

Two mini hand pumps - Mtn air is 100%plastic, so relatively light, and SKS is stuck in schrader mode only

SRAM gripshift grips (or smaller for kids bikes - only 105 mm long)

Carbon Stryker Tri-bars

Listen to Barry - he is a destroyer of all things rotating - and some not.

Paging @Barry. Your Brushy Burrito Buffet needs to be part of this discussion 😉

Yeah, we talked during a Walnut creek R&I about his burrito ride.

Well, I TRIED to string together a 50 miler from my house (other end of Little Elm - the road YMCA is on) thru Brushy and points beyond without repeating too much and without too much gravel/pavement.  Failed.  Brushy itself only has ~30 miles if you don't repeat too much.  So, in order:

From my house

YMCA trail at top->Snail->Dave's ditch->Rimjob->Deception backwards->over the damn and down backside->gumdrop->Walshtrail to Suburban->Christchurch section->Boat->Apartments section of Suburban to Redhorn->East side of Suburban (including offshoot loop trail->back thru Walshtrail->gumdrop->white rabbit->up and over the dam->Peddlers->mulligan->Picnic->rimjob->dave's ditch.  That totaled ~30.  I tacked on some rogue trails that have popped up on the other side of 183 around the lake back there beside the apartment complex then back to the house.  Grand total=43.6.  Heat was getting bad at 2pm, so I pulled the plug.

Oh well, on a suggestion, will have to roll in Wilco park trails north of 1431, so that should total 50.  Next time.

Did he pick it up?  I could use it.

Mack_ too far to drive for random wood.  And Tony is going to pick up the best part of it.  Thanks, though.
