Oh Hell yes. I’ve still got an ‘08 Kona Dawg frame with a new chainstay and a rebuilt shock. Dolla dolla bill, y’all…

Dude. That bike sounds pretty modern. Call me when you find a Trek 930 for $20 at the Goodwill and take it out for a rip.
Was just saying on yesterday's ride that I wish my 02 RFX didn't have outdated standards for just about everything, otherwise I'd build that back up and thrash it again. Maybe it's just the memories, cause the geometry is way outdated compared to today's measurements, but it never felt like a hindrance.
i bet it still looks better than most of the carbon shit people are riding today...
Or perhaps an old Knolly?Whatchu talking about? The only thing uglier than an old Kona is an old Ellsworth.
Or maybe a *new* Knolly?
The local shop does a group retro ride on old shitty bikes. They were Pit Vipers, neon, and drink shitty beer at the trailhead after the ride. It's highly stupid, but I may re-po my old Yeti 575 from my brother an capitalize on the trend.
After riding a burly Specialized SX-trail as a DH and a trail bike, I knew I wanted something with a slack head angle and lower bb. There weren’t a lot of options save, the Dawg. Found a used frame and rode it for a few months before the Banshee Spitfire came out and changed trail bikes forever.

The wife and I own a (very) small booze business. The amount of time spent filling out paperwork, filing taxes and renewing permits is nearly enough to make me want to pack it in. It also totally makes me realize why moonshine runners existed - not even kidding. Every time I think I get it figured out, we get a letter from some fucking govt bureaucracy asking us why we haven’t filed our tps forms with the cover sheet for the last 87 months.The whole tax process in this country is a goddam PITA - even with the software to "help" the process.
:coolstorybrah:
Time for another Hanz und Franz session. Must complete my transformation into a T-Rex with a backpack.
You live in California and don't have a back-up battery for pornhub and pornhub related activities? Rookie mistake.
Man... those *are* fugly bikes.
Too high or too low?
++vibes, senor. May that shit get taken care of quickly!
Wahoo! Got a new laptop. My new tires and on, and they be sticky (and quiet!). Now, nap time.
Neighbor just listed their house. Smaller, refinished as well, but par with ours, and ///Deck needs maintenance - over $1.1mm. That is fucking ludicrous. That would likely put ours slightly above that, which means it has doubled in 6yrs. That is completely obscene. Our house was built in 1990 and is getting into maintenance cycle timelines. Whatever; we're not moving anytime soon.

But at least it will be Jeffco. I'm not sure what belligerent assholes are proactively buying houses here that aren't already Boomers. Parker is where the reasonably priced DougCo houses are, not HR.When we sell ours (built '87) it will be in "original condition"...
Mine was built in the 50's and "resto-modded" in the mid 2010's 
Oh it's going to be THAT kind of party?!
Based on some newspapers I found mine was built in the late 60s / early 70s and will be a tear-down (i.e. lot value) when I die
Bought in for $110K straight cash homie 5 years ago, worth $300ish when/if I ever finish siding, windows and rOOOOOF.

how my day has gone. Was pretty easy putting this fountain together. Had enough time to move some stuff around, get a tree branch out of a tree 30 feet up, rip up some stumps and toss some rocks around. Good times. Now picking a kid up at school.
look at this work of art....if the ig link works
ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴏɴᴇɴᴛ ᴇɴɢɪɴᴇᴇʀɪɴɢ on Instagram: "It’s time for the #SierraRecycler cat to poke its head out of the bag a little! This year we asked New Mexico framebuilder Cjell Monē if he could make us one of his world famous “Schwinn Cruiser recycled into a Modern Mountain Bike” conversion frames, and with zero hesitation he said “Yep, and I have just the frame for it.” So check this out: He took a 1949 Schwinn cruiser and chopped a bunch of the tubes apart, then bent, mitred and welded it all back together to fit a modern 29x2.6” knobby. I know, this sounds pretty crazy, but scroll through to the chainstay bridge, the super sick welds, and the @sierranevada beer can shim, and I think you’ll start picking up what we’re layin’ down with this bike. And talk about recycling, the @monebikes shop is built into a 1990 Wonderbread truck! Stay tuned for more…."

Mrs junkyard is a birder and the old fountain was junk. So I bought the last one I should ever have to buy.Are you Roman??
Unless Nathaniel French was also a resurrected carpenter. He just wasn't big on attention like the other guy.
We got our first Turkey egg today...
Also zoom boom for the win! You rent that sucker??
did you eat the turkey egg? I only ever liked them hard boiled.
ya rented it. I love the things and kinda wish I owned a small one. One can do a lot of work quick or destroy a bunch of stuff. They tear up old motor homes in a hurry in prep for scrap.
