I love it, and at that price, a good deal. But, alas, that’s about twice my budget.

Thank you. Din't know those could be built geared. That one is a 29er, right?

5’8”, so a medium, I guess

Thinking of a new bike: Fully rigid. 27.5 plus or fat 2.6 to 3” tires 1x whatever (geared, don’t care about exact number) disc brakes To use mostly as urban bike, but also use as backup on the trail. Low budget. Discuss.

No shit, a southie ride is starting to sound better

The R&I is dead…

We should talk. R&I?

In. No bananas.

Yes, he’s been advised. That bike could use a sit dropper. With 1x shortly after that. Funds should not be an issue, but he is getting used to the idea of how much these things cost. Baby brother steps.

You must mean “how long before you go ride the California mountains?”

He's definitely going for a spin or two first. I mean, these are the same people he works with and will be riding with. I emphasized it has to fit properly and how to figure that out, or take it to the LBS. Thanks guys.

So, my brother is getting the MTB bug, has no clue where to begin (or even if his knee will tolerate it). He's out in Victorville, CA, and works with a group of locals that ride. One of the locals is selling his 2015 Scott Spark 920 for $600. I think he should take it. What do you think?

I believe that’s a stem

You should seriously consider approaching some of these bike makers and offer your “factory pilot“ services

Sounds like a trip to the northern lands some time soon... haven’t been toThumper in forever. Does it still suck as bad as it always did?

Hope some others chip in...

.16" in the last 48hrs and Metric and Walnut Creek. SO IN!

Long Live the R&I!

Forecast improving…

Maybe ask at the R&I this Tuesday?

Excellent (probably best way for most)

Yo, a guy that used to go by Notsosilent Bob (Bob Nussbaum) is getting married. He has a gift list on Amazon. Not many things have been purchased, but Tony mentioned he knows Bob would love a Weber grill ($179). If we all pitch in a little bit it'll be a great gift for a guy that has been keeping the R&I tradition many years after moving away. That, and it's his wedding.
