[Blown240]

I just found this place and thought I would introduce myself.

Im Mike, I live in So-Cal. My first job was a bike mechanic back in 95. Since then Ive been riding and wrenching anytime I can.

I have several bikes in my quiver:

Yeti 575:

This is my main bike. Its mostly X9, and is fairly heavy for a Yeti because of the wheels on it.

Intense M1:

This bike used to be my main bike, but has become the loaner since I got my Yeti. I put a dropper seat on it since this pic.

Fatbike:

I pretty much made this bike, its not quite done. Its got 7" rear travel and 4 1/2" front travel. I am working on another fork that will have about 7" travel. This bike is a lot of fun, and feels unstoppable, but its 53 pounds!

Klunker:

and finally my Klunker. I just built this bike and it has terrible wheel flop. I need to figure out some way to fix this. But its only 22.4 pounds! Not too bad for a cruiser with a shock.

Not another spambot...sheesh.

 

[Blown240]

Spambot? Not sure what you mean.

I found this place while I was looking online for a long travel linkage fork. I found it here, and see that there is some good info.

Sorry if I come of as spam, or an ass. Its just that most of the other message boards I am on ask for some kind of an intoduction.

You are now engulfed in both.

 

[BadDNA]

Welcome to the . Don't let the hooligans run you off just yet.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Welcome to RM! All you need to remember to fit in here is this:

 

[StiHacka]

Holy crap, custom bikes!

 

[kazlx]

Yes, a 50 lb fatbike. Where are you in SoCal? Rule #1 of RMclub....don't take anything personally. Unless you're MMike. Then it's all personal.

 

[jimmydean]

I'm digging the fatbike. Ever since GFF went full retard with his, I've been interested.

 

[Blown240]

Thanks guys. I won't take it personally. I guess I'll have to figure out what Mmike is though.

The fat bike is super fun. But it's heavier than crap. And I take some big craps!

 

[kazlx]

I guess I'll have to figure out what Mmike is though.

Not sure anyone really knows.

 

[SLOPE]

Rough crowd!

 

[Pesqueeb]

If you manage to make it here very long, you too will gleefully anticipate the "Hi, I'm a new guy" threads. Shenanigans always abound, as well as tons of inside jokes.

Eff MMike.

 

[Blown240]

Ya, but I never actually said hi. So this thread is different.


The fat bike started life as a mongoose beast from Walmart. First bike I've ever bought from Walmart, and probably the last.

Welcome to the Monkey.

 

[Blown240]

Hey kazlx, I tried to respond to your PM, but I don't see it in my sent items. Maybe I'm too newb.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Welcome. If you self-insert the butt plug at the start, it discourages unwanted attention.

 

[gonefirefightin]

always go full retard!

 

[Scrub]

If you self-insert the butt plug at the start, it discourages unwanted attention.

Well it looks like he may also have to insert a gagball to deter the curiosity of the origin of his screenname.

Welcome to the Monkey and enjoy the ride.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Make sure to post lots of close up selfies showing where you ride for our viewing pleasure. Don't worry no one here will photoshop you into embarrassing situations.

 

[Blown240]

Nice. The it got the screen name because I used to have a supercharged Volvo. Ya I know, I know...

 

[SkaredShtles]

always go full retard!

 

[eric strt6]

[Pesqueeb]

Ya, but I never actually said hi. So this thread is different.

Don't you be goin' and sassin me boy!

 

[DirtyMike]

Besides, if it pays enough you would do it

 

[Kevin]

Do you believe in god, new guy?

 

[Blown240]

You guys are all nuts. But that's usually a good thing!

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

You guys are all nuts. But that's usually a good thing!

That's not true. A lot of us are dicks. You have to establish a good ratio of nuts to dicks.

 

[Blown240]

I've found that 2 nuts for each dick is ideal.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

I've found that 2 nuts for each dick is ideal.

Or in Lance's case, 2 dicks for each nut.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Well... when you've Blown240... I'd have to defer to you as the expert. NTTAWWT.
