mack_turtle Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The Corgi bike is really only $75 when you consider how much the owner invested in Corgi stickers. that's a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my goals for 2021 is to get back in the EB routine now that I am post surgery and should be vaccinated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to bring HK stickers back from Japan all the time. All of my old bikes had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I just spent a few minutes scanning local Craigslist bikes and something stuck me: the relative lack of "garbage" bikes. I feel like CL listings in the past have had a lot more Mongoose XR-75 type bikes with absurd prices. relatively nice bikes dominate the listings I see there now. is that because the Austin area has a more affluent population, or because people have given up on selling junk bikes? also noteworthy: "overbikes" for the terrain. I saw a few bikes with dual crown forks in there. I have to wonder how many of those are people who moved here with their bikes recently from a mountainous region and are trying to unload a bike that is not suited for the local terrain.

Some of it may be COVID buyers remorse. Now that people are getting vaccinated I think we'll start seeing all the gym rats who bought bikes during COVID trying to recoup their money.

mack_turtle Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) this past year was a terrible time to try to buy a bike. the second half of this year will probably be a terrific time to buy a good used bike! as if it was meant to prove my point, this just showed up in my FB feed: 200mm Boxxer. I'm sure there's an interesting story about this bike. Edited March 24, 2021 by mack_turtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notyal Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 My guess as to why people buy full-on DH bikes around here is that they have a trip planned to AF or some other park and think "I'll spend every other weekend at Spider Mtn and go to AF at least twice more this year if I buy this bike." Then, don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 New bike prices will keep going up as long as they have material shortages as well. I don't know if I saw this on Pinkbike or VeloNews but some announced 12% increase for new bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Cruz announced that, but they did it after several smaller companies did the same. more will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
