  1. I've met people that I've had long interesting conversations with when they've come to buy something for $20. And as the 'ol Jamaican saying goes... "One, one cocoa fill basket." Put enough $20 sales together and you've got a few hundred dollars to spend. I'm careful though, with how I deal with craigslist contacts.
  2. That's a lot of stuff. I don't use craigslist that much, maybe ten times during the year. I've been on eBay for twenty years and maybe had somewhat negative experiences. I'm also using FB Marketplace and other FB selling pages which have been okay. Being someone who has spent many years participating on online forums — since the mid-90s on AOL — for sure I know what humans can be like... No doubt we all have flaws. But I've learned to work around/through it all. As I hope folks do with me and my flaws.
  3. Same photos as I used here on this site. Also, the manner of the comments reminds me of someone I've encountered on Mojo and this forum.

  5. Seriously... I posted some ads on craigslist and have received a few emails from a creepy stalker-like person. Here's the content of this creepy stalker-like person's emails... > "There is no need get emotional, just don't lie." > "Let me help you remember. If there is dirt in between the knobbies then that would mean that they are used. Does that help you remember? > "What's the $10 next to the title in your ad about? None of the seats are priced at $10." Now I'm thinking it may just be someone from one of Austin's mtb forums who has a bug up his ass for me. I could be wrong. But I've got a hunch I'm not.
  6. But wait... There's this... https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2018/12/06/70000-acre-west-texas-ranch-coming-market-largest-grabs-texas
  7. That's... 37,000 acres... https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2018/10/16/bankruptcy-puts-37-000-acres-of-west-texas-up-for.html?ana=psm_zb_fb_pvadvertoct18&fbclid=IwAR1Xz-FtLno__vgT869Ze7TcPUEelDFsdoPYU79lF9q9abzRiQr6ZxzMAy0
  8. I'm wondering if I was still skateboarding what would happen if you used one of these when doing a 720? But to the topic... Anyone using any of these 360° cameras? Here's one I just read up on... And no, I own no shares in it... https://store.insta360.com/product/one_x?utm_source=Officialsite&utm_medium=WinterHolidaySale_onexbutton&inspm=b2d0fd.d01f8a.0.0
  9. New Jersey chunky... Really great riding...
  10. I might have some XT or XTR from back in the day. I'll check tomorrow.
  11. I think what's happening in Bentonville is a perfect example of what happens when you promote something from the user's perspective... Related things benefit. In Austin, road riding is straight forward. Crusing is straight forward. Mountain biking... Not so straight forward. But in Bentonvile it is. Proverbs 29:18... "Where there is no vision, people cast off restraint..." Austin, the music capital of the world... Clear vision. Always give people a clear vision.
  12. 8mm + 10mm 13mm + 14mm 32mm + 36mm 36/40mm + 30/32mm Park Tool BBT-22
  13. I'll let you know tomorrow if I am headed up north area. PM me a phone number I can send a text to when I figure out my schedule.
  14. 've got these two Schwalbe Razor Rock 26" x 2.35 tires... Never mounted (or maybe mounted but not really ridden... Can't remember... Check out photos)... Just $25 each... $45 for both.
  15. Bought this for my wife who was complaining about the straps on her older Camelbak... She wore it once and said it was the same... Looking for other options... Like-new condition... $45.
  16. I picked up this tool box a few years ago but every time I tried to figure out how to put it to use it just wouldn't work for what I had in mind, so I just never really used it. It's pretty much in like-new condition. I think it will work for you if you want to store/carry bigger hand tools. It seems very strong. Online reviews say it's one of the best Husky has made (see this review https://toolguyd.com/husky-22-plastic-tool-box-review/). $15 gets it.
  17. Have this that's just been sitting in my garage... Like new condition... Dewalt DWD110, 3/8" keyless 120v/7amp drill... $35 get it.
  18. I've got these extra things I've picked up when I've bought tools in lots... $45 for everything.
  19. SOLD>>> AVID BBDB Mechanical Disc Brakes (Like BB7) I've got these AVID BBDB mechanical disc brake calipers... Came off a '05 Cannondale Prophet. They are just like the BB7, but some riders seem to like them more. Also a little lighter. You can look up reviews online. These sell for around $35-$60 on eBay depending on condition... I'm asking $35, and you get the levers (Tektro) too. SOLD>>> SHIMANO XTR FC-M951 Crankset w/Chainrings These are XTR cranks that use the Octalink V1 bottom bracket. Both cranks and chainrings (22/32/44) are in good condition. Asking $30 for everything. CANE CREEK Ergo Control Bar End Excellent condition small bar ends that give hands a comfortable alternative position... Easy to clamp on... $15 for the pair. CODA/CANNONDALE CRANKSET In pretty good condition, these are a set of five-arm cranks that were known for being pretty light but stiff cranks. They use Shimano's Octalink V1 bottom bracket, and will come with the chainrings shown (44/32/22)... Asking $35 for the set. ASSORTED BIKE SEATS I've got a few different bike seats here... 1) Like new GIANT Contact seat... $10 2) Like new SPECIALIZED Body Geometry Jett 143 (hollow cromo) gel seat... $35 3) Great condition E3 Form Gel seat... $10 4) Like new FIZIK Gobi seat... $35 5) Good condition (small tears on one side) WTB Speed V seat... $10 6) Good condition Syncros M3.0 seat... $20
  20. The first time I went to Negril (west end of Jamaica) was in 1972. There were pretty much only small motel-like places to stay... And just a couple of them. The only foreigners you'd fine were some hardcore American hippies and a few Europeans. Oh yes... And a few people on the run from the law. Seven miles of beautiful white sand beach and the clearest light blue water found anywhere in the world, way out in the middle of nowhere. Paradise. But as the Eagles said... Call somewhere paradise, you can kiss it goodbye. The last thirty years of vacation resort development in Negril has overwhelmed the infrastructure and local society. Sure... People make money... Lots and lots of money. Which then brings in more and more people trying to make some of that lots and lots of money. Which then caused those who were already established in Negril to become offended by those just coming in. And around and around it goes... Where it will end... No one really knows. The old days... Then came the new days...
