    Colorado Monkeys

    I've mentioned this a few times around here, but I think our days in California are numbered. I'll spare you the backstory, but there are only a handful of states in the Western US where I can be licensed without jumping through a ton of hoops. Because of this, I've got a shortlist of states...

    Giant XTC Advanced Build

    Recently picked up a 2016 Giant XTC Advanced frame locally, and I'm in the process of building it up. Figured I'd start a thread about it, not because it's going to be an epic build or anything, but because I haven't built a bike from the ground up since 2006 or so, and it wasn't exactly...

    Stay Safe Out There

    I was turned around by emergency responders this morning during my ride. I was passed by 2 fire trucks while I was on Watts Valley Road, and I watched a helicopter land as I approached the scene. Wasn't sure exactly what happened until now...

    Christmas/Charity Bike Build?

    I know this used to be a thing: Are there any builds in the works for less fortunate individuals? If so, I'd like to contribute to the cause. I don't have many spare parts, but I'm more than willing to make a donation.

    New Trail Bike

    Starting to think abut replacing the hardtail, and I'd like to get back into a FS bike. For reference, my last FS bike was a Giant Trance circa 2009, which I liked quite a bit. Naturally, I'm looking at a new Trance X which has more travel than the old Trances IIRC. Also looking at the...

    Wanted Wanted: Road Wheelset

    Looking for a wheelset that I can swap in and out of my gravel bike for more road-oriented rides. Too many expenditures lately, so I can't justify buying anything new or uber fancy. Trying to keep this relatively cheap. Must be: 12x100 front, 12x142 rear, disc only. Tubeless or clincher...

    Santa Cruz Bicycles

    Does anybody have any idea what's going on over at Santa Cruz? I placed an order over a month ago for a clearance stem, and haven't heard a thing since. My emails and calls have been ignored it seems, and I can't seem to connect with an actual person when I call. Please note - I'm not...

    Taking the Plunge, A Few Questions...

    I've been really interested in getting into road biking lately, and I've decided that I'm going to pull the trigger within the next couple days. My first inclination was to find a decent used bike, but knowing little about the fitment of road bikes, I was afraid I'd pick up something that was a...

    Rental Monkeys?

    Anybody familiar with laws pertaining to what management companies are required to do before a tenant moves in? I'm currently looking for a place for my fiancee and I to move into after we get married, and the place we're looking at is in a good area, has a nice footprint - but it's filthy. I...

    Raleigh Grand Prix - Possible SS?

    I found a mid-80's Raleigh Grand Prix that I've been thinking about making a cheap SS build out of... I know nothing about these bikes, and I'm hoping the RM masses can help me figure out whether or not it's worth it. What say you?

    Crank Arm Clearance ?

    Alright, so I just picked up a pair of sexy white profile cranks for my Eastern Thunderbird. Before ordering them, I called Eastern and confirmed the proper spindle length - 5 3/4". I measured the old Eastern spindle, which came out to 6" - but I didn't think that was going to be an accurate...

    Somebody talk me outta buying this...

    http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/BI297R01-Eastern+Thunderbird+26+Bike+08.aspx I was planning on building a bike for steet/DJ, but that Thunderbird's pretty damn sexy - and the price is right. Any reason I shouldn't buy it?

    QR for street??

    Silly question - I'm going to be building up a Steelhead for street riding using my old Shimano XT hubs. Am a better off converting to a 10mm axle, or am I ok with the QR skewer? I'm going SS, and I'll be using a tensioner (tugnut). Thanks in advance...

    Atomlab CS/GI Frame

    I've been looking into getting a relatively cheap street frame that can take some abuse, and the Atomlab General Issue frame is looking pretty good right now. After some searching here on RM, I've found some old posts/threads (circa '04, '05) about crappy CS from Atomlab, and some newer...

    Musician Monkeys

    I know that Echo's a musician, and obviously H8R, but who else here plays an instrument? Woodwind, brass, skin flute, and duldrum are all acceptable.
