Oh really? How about a fixie, a road bike, a jumpy/urban hardtail, a 5X5 trail bike, a 7X7 freeride bike, a full-on DH bike, and a bar-crawl cruiser?A commuter, a street, a one of a kind bling and a freeride is a perfect stable...
Good eye. I'd noticed that too. It was assembled by an LBS that specializes in 29ers, so what should I expect.The front tire is on the rear and rear is in the front?
Congrats on the new rig! Freakin sweet bike.
This is about the time of year when new bike threads will start popping up regularly. Stinkyboy is on the front end of this year's bell curve.
The Pig?Good eye. I'd noticed that too. It was assembled by an LBS that specializes in 29ers, so what should I expect.
Damnit! I knew my stable was missing something!..., and a bar-crawl cruiser?
Anyway sweet bullit!
Where is your maiden voyage going to be?Been swamped at work, but saturday will be my maiden voyage on the new steed. I'm looking forward to a summer of abusing this bike up in Flag, Candy Mountain, etc.
Prolly just fuq around it the city, roll some stairs and try to get a feel for it and figure out what's needed to do. Bust yours out and cruise down tomorrow! I could prolly use some of your expertise. Of course they'll be drinking afterwards, so bring full gear... :biggrin:Where is your maiden voyage going to be?
Sparkle Pony is also in the process of being resurrected.
There's a big enough market/demand for a shop specializing in 29'ers?It was assembled by an LBS that specializes in 29ers, so what should I expect.
Welcome to my world...There's a big enough market/demand for a shop specializing in 29'ers?
The majority of shops in the Valley cater to either Tri-geeks/roadies or 29'ers.There's a big enough market/demand for a shop specializing in 29'ers?
Take it easy, I've got 30 miles of street on this thing to get a feel for it. I have plenty of time and mountains to give it a beatin'. I barely have an Apple sticker on the new Civic and need to rack it as well...So is it a 35.1 pound commuter? Where's the dirt on it, or even a little dust at least??
Im just busting your chops, where you going to take taht thing in the dirt for the first "real" ride?????
I think I am going to have to take a weekend and drive out there to go ride squaw peak with you. I liked that place. I will probably find it alot easier than when I was in college 11 years ago and just barely starting to ride. That and I will have to have you show me some of the good runs out there. Going to push for a teaching position, and if I get it, I will be training in Phoenix for at least three months. I will need somewhere to ride while I am there.
I'm thinking of cruising over to Papago and do a couple easy loops since I haven't been forever and check out the little jump park over there to see what kind of shape it's in.
Then I'll take it home, throw mud on it, curse at it and hit it with a stick!
I think mine is a few pounds heavier.
I always ran the Stinky with slimed Maxxis DH tubes and 2.5 Minions. I will prolly have to boost the weight a bit, but damn is this fun at this weight.I think mine is a few pounds heavier.
My Glory is 48 pounds...
They are fun bikes to ride. You'll have a blast on it at Candy.
That bike wants A Line!SoMo is calling.... stop trying to avoid it - that bike WANTS to be on the mountain.
Too old to be a DH bum, but Rolling into OR will be a good start... My life is a restart in the next week or two...What's stopping ya... you're unemployed - start driving!
