No, it’s a KKK member with no arms and a hole in his heart, about to get pounced on by a HUGE mountain lion.

Visiting family. Borrowed my nieces bike which was two sizes too small and couldn't have the saddle raised enough.
Who knew Shimano still sold 3x7 gearing? These were some weird shifter/ brake hybrid.

...but you still had fun riding a bike, right?
Short ride, but whatever, it's on dirt. And in t-shirt and shorts. 
But holy shit, my derailleur is one unhappy camper.
@Nick the cassette seemed to shift fine, would be unable to tell the difference between it and a GX one. Will need to figure out what's going on with the derailleur or hanger though, ugh.

Good ride with a good friend today. Neither of us was ready for a cloudless 85F and no tree cover/leaves for shade.
nice! I may try one for that price.
the granny is a 50t, yes? maybe you need a long cage rear derailleur?
Yes 50t. This is a straight replacement for my GX 12 speed cassette so already have a 12 speed derailleur.
It's a GX derailleur though and the pivots, as well as the entire clutch portion is rather sloppy. I have a feeling when the rear suspension sags, it pulls on the derailleur and because of the slop, either twists it or moves it out of alignment. Maybe? Might explain why it seems fine in the bike stand, but when I'm sitting on the bike shifting, it isn't happy?
That sounds like a classic case of too short housing.... Could that be a possibility?
Check the rear hub for slop.
Winter? More like too much pie over the last two years...Too much pie over the Winter?
I always accidentally moar beer
Yeah could be...there seems to be plenty looking at it, but I do have it nice and tidy. BUT, the way it's routed on the frame, the rear triangle kinda folds toward the front, if that makes sense? Could be perhaps tugging on it in the wrong way?
this
Oh gotcha, the one I'm looking at is for 11-sp Shimano. My XT cassette has a 47t One Up cog, so I was looking for the extra climb range. Like 75% of my riding is spent climbing in my top 3 gears, or top 2 more often than I like to admit.
Welcome to ridemonkey, stay a while and look around!What the what is that thing?
SRAM rear shifting is so finicky. It’s as sensitive as a old white boomer.Winter? More like too much pie over the last two years...

What could possibly go wrong?
you buy a random home made steel thing from switzerland, actually made by a guy from arizona who secretly is who 'jesse' on breaking bad was based on
but hey no judgement
just kidding: do your fucking gloves match your fucking bike? <-----judgement, in fact
Love the Ukraine vest..,
the flagging tassles are sweet, give ya that
Hmmm maybe you need some extra weight up front to keep that front wheel planted.
Falling off is good...
