Got back last weekend after 2 weeks & 4000 miles. New England trails just aren't going to feel the same after riding places like Rothrock in State College, or the twisties in Kickapoo (IL) or West Branch (OH).
Tomorrow, Saturday, I leave on a road trip. I'm starting by following Dirt Rag's I-80 list with a few additions. I think I'm going to stop before Colorado (saving that area for a trip of its own). I'll either go home or drive 600 miles (!!!) to the Ozarks in Arkansas. All depends on how long...
I know the feeling. I want to build up a new hardtail but I can't find one built to borrow. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to choose a frame and hope for the best.
I want to do a helmet cam on the cheap. I'm too lazy to spend a week researching my options. Can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap dv cam? I've seen a couple in the $200-$250 range. Are these good enough or would the resulting videos be terrible quality? And is there any option...
I'm rebuilding a friend's winter beater bike. The rear v-brake is pissing me off. The arms aren't retracting well. I've replaced the cable, housing and noodle. I took the arms off, lubed the posts, and made sure the springs were firmly in the holes. I've tried each of the three spring...
I'll be down in the Amston/Colchester area today & tomorrow, with a road bike and possibly with a mountain bike if I fix the chain. I'll be down for any riding, day or night. I'll probably have computer access for the next couple hours.

I'm thinking its time to build up a bike specifically for urban, but would also be capable on the trail. I've ridden a couple at the shops -- last was the Fisher Bitter which was way too portly. I want something that's flickable -- something I can whip through Boston traffic, then careen off a...
1981 AMC Spirit. With many options, including the little wing/spoiler on the hatchback, but no twingrip rear end. Automatic too. It would stall every time I drove over the train tracks near my house. But I could do donuts and smokeshows all day long. Its funny how I can get nostalgic over...
I just saw a 200 GB Seagate Serial ATA drive for $80 on Amazon. I vaguely remember seeing it as low as $50 on some deal site. Both prices are great. Seagate rebates are reliable enough as long as you are careful and keep copies.
Asus motherboards have done me well but they're a little more...
Work's slow and I'm bored. I spent the past two days here looking at frames and parts to replace one of my bikes. I still have one of my first mtb frames, a '94 Cannondale M600. The Marzocchi XC600 fork has given up completely, the drivetrain is worn, and it handles funny because the frame...
