- Thread starter Total Heckler
- Start date
Bah! Usually, yes. Heading to Tracy on Saturday to (hopefully) sell the road bike.
Ah, So when do we get to see the new Zumbi?
Kelly and I and some other peeps will be up there in the AM. We're pushing up though, something about how a few of the people we've been riding with don't think we're getting in good enough shape otherwise.
Josh- I've still got your magic note!

Zumbi? Shoot... still working on the sale of the Road bike... then the 7point frame goes up for sale seeing a I didn't sell it.
What time are you guys getting up here? I'm down to join for some pushing. I need to get back into shape for next season anyways... CAT-1 baby!
I will be shuttling early afternoon up Empire from the UC trails. If anyone wants to join, I can bring the truck instead of my Vdub. I live a couple blocks away. Join us before for some pump track warm-up on the 24" if ya want. Ill be in blue TLD gear with a blue Giant Glory.
PS. Sorry MK

But you wont believe the bike I am riding instead.

If everyone needs to get in shape (i could use it too) we should do a 12 mile ride that I like to do at wilder ,plenty of climbing but with some good single track on the way down.Blue , you reading this?Is your bike running now , i know you got some brakes!Anyway Big bike , trail bike, bmx bike , maybe the new stealhead ,I will be there on sat.
No worry about the sale falling through, man. It's a good deal with all the spare parts I'm throwing in, so I know I'll be able to get ride of it no problem.
Todd... I did a 13 mile up Rincon, over Empire, down Mailboxes, loop around and out and back down Sweetness on the MkIII on Tuesday night. Was frickin' awesome.
You guys need to get out there and pedal.

I'm hunting a stem and brake pads today...I should be game!
I think I want to focus on DH riding more on Saturday. Nate, get the parts and join us! Max, I am probably just going to stick to UC area unless Brian/Kelly wanted to move in that direction... and give me a ride. =]
Hmmm, we'll probably just be over on campus side, but I dunno.
I know at least one of the people going will be riding a v10, so a wilder loop would probably suck for them. That and my easiest gear on my small bike is still a 36-23
I'll be riding that unless my stem doesn't show up in the mail before sat. I gotta get back in shape too, just got approved for a cat-1 usac license for next season.

Mk if you out by tracy youll be out by me. to bad we dont really have any trails out here otherwise i could show you around. plus i still havent gotten around to finishing my bike
Ok sat. will be a DH day for sure, but maybe next week we can do more of an all mt. ride.Then go hit the brewery for some beers and wings afterwards.Nate, you should see the stealhead I just finshed it, all new paint and parts, well most all parts are used but it looks almost new, Im tempted to bring it out on sat for its first time on dirt, or with me at least.
Yeah, man. I was thinkin' the same thing.
I've really been on a mission to get back into shape for race season next season, though. I don't find myself to be a super slow rider, but I'm average, and just need to get to a place where I can move at a moderate pace without keeling over and feeling like I'm having a coronary. Hence why I'm just going out to Tracy to show the road bike. So I can sell her for a new bike that I might be racing on next sseason. Hopefully the guy will like it, and if he does, it'll be his for the taking. Then I can make it back to town for a quick ride.
What time will you laggers be out there? I doubt I could make it, but just maybe...

Not sure. Brian, when are you guys planning on being out there?
Guh, rear caliper on the brakes I picked up seems frozen. Awesome.
I think we'll be out there like 930 or 1030? I don't know for sure because its whenever we can corral everyone and herd them to the trails
I'm down to be out there for a while though, I've got nothing to do saturday except drink beer and ride bikes!

Sounds good man! Just send us a PM.

You know, if I'm heading to Tracy to sell my road bike, AND I sell my road bike, I'm gonna' need to come straight back home and break down the 7point and put it up for sale.
As for riding Saturday, I'm out. Jehn's got a cold/the flu and needs me to help clean/decorate for our Christmas party tomorrow night.
On a side note, I should be out at UC on Sunday. Either by 8:00am or by 11:00am. Not sure yet.

I will be at UC at some point. Will either be riding in from wilder and doing loops till its dark, or just starting at rincon doing loops until its dark or i keel over, which ever comes first. Have to test out all my new goodies from gamut. they hooked it up for 09!
Taking road bike to Tracy tomorrow to hopefully sell it.
Possibly selling 7point to kid in VA with Totem and headset.

I'll be at Joaquin Miller tomorrow morning. Not that anyone gives a sh*t
Hahahaha...KARPIEL
Somehow, I suspect that a Karpiel frame would still cost me more than teh ZUMBI frame.
Just a suspect-tation though...
Eitherway, I can't stop having a boner for the Zumbi F44 frame. I've had blue-balls for two weeks over it. :huh:
I would hate to be the dude who hands that frame over to you. Homie better wear a raincoat.
It would appear that I've repaired my Magura rear lever with superglue. Tired of not riding fun bikes. I'm game, as long as nothing earth shattering happens in the next three hours. What time we rolling out at?
The brakes I got locally are FVCKED UP. Bitter.
So does that mean your in?
Yes that's true, but you'll have more of the cool factor with the Karpiel. You'll be the envy of everyone
Really it's true
I'm 50/50. My ghetto brake fix isn't working out quite as well as I'd hoped...probably at 30% rear braking power.
All I need is $86 for one of these...
