just saw the local fox for the first time in months. it may have been offspring frmo the ones i saw in the spring. back then the fox was hunting a LOT, so i assumed there were kits. then early summer my wife so one dead on the side of the road 
this one looked different, maybe one of the kits is grown?

You know that's a great question... I assume standard T1N era steel Sprinter wheels. Not sure of lug number or pattern... but there are 5- and 6-lug that have been used I believe.
Mostly PE to Rainbow and IH to NG/MJ.
^^^Meh.
Okay, checked my wheels and yup... standard 16x6 steel 5-lug Sprinter wheels mounted with LT245/75/16 BFG KO2s.
had to stop in at the office. manager had left a prairie bourbon paradise on my desk. 16% bourbon barrel stout? approve! https://untappd.com/b/prairie-artisan-ales-bourbon-paradise/2343873
Nice looking bike. How many beers until you huck the garage side landscaping?
That's the official crabby proving grounds. Not a single bike hasn't been hucked off it.
Almost drove the mower off it this summer, but that's a story for another thread

hrmf. untapped link says 15.9, but upon closer inspection of my bottle you, sir, are correct!13.7%

Also, is it just me or do the yellow grips and cables make the ohlins bits look orange?
Yea the Ohlins stuff is a weird color. Not quite yellow, not quite gold, not quite orange. It's like school bus yellow. I was hoping the yellow bits matched the Ohlins decals/spring, but did not compute as trajected. Fuck it.
Seriously, how do you even ride that thing?
Right now...up and down the driveway.
Still needs new pedals before it hits the trails. Cheapo plastic flats on there now for tuning/tooling around purposes.
He hasn't
Yea that's just odd, I always thought it seemed mostly yellow. Fucking color matching. Doesn't look bad at all though.
Yea I'm happy with how it looks for sure.
Really built it for how it rides though
hoping for snow meltage and a ride soon, even if it's down in RI with buddies down there.

you got feet....fred flintstone it...
Lady on a bike got pancaked by a double gravel hauler yesterday. He never knew he hit her. There is a class A bikeway that parallels a 4 lane road that comes from the local quarry. The path crosses the on ramp to the state highway. It hads its' own set of cross don't cross lights. Semi had a green and was entering the transition to the state highway. Rider came off the bikeway into the road on a don't cross signal and never looked. died at the trauma center

Went drinking with a tyke. Not a good idea.
Better than trinking with a dyke
If this wind keeps up I might be living in Kansas by the morning...
New-to-me gravel bike wheels acquired for a really reasonable price, and they are MINT. Pretty stoked on that. Shimano RX disc, they appear to be the RX010 flavor. Not a super fancy wheelset, but nicer than what I have now... and now I have a rear wheel that can be dedicated for indoor use and a better set of wheels for riding outside IRL.
New-to-us Sprinter wheels also acquired, for 100% off of retail. Had to drive home in a freaking blizzard, but worth it for free wheels that are fetching a Benji apiece on eBay, and are almost non-existent at any price on CL. Now to do some haggling and finagling on a set of gently used Blizzaks to go on these new wheels...

Or worse... my carport!
New bike time?
you know every time I get the itch for a new bike, I end up having an awesome ripping ride on the ol RFX and that itch gets scratched. My bike is awesome. (when it isn't throwing my through the air and trying to kill me miles from nowhere)
got to work 4 hours early, get to leave 4 hours early. Bullshited the first half, gonna bullshit the second half too.
not gonna get spendy on stuff for the kids but as an adult i've had a north face shell for 23 years.
That would be ski wear in the late 80's through the early 90's. Fugly. NTTAWWT.
