I decided I did want to grab something new for this summer and thought the frame I wanted was going to be in stock yesterday. However each day the store bumps the ETA up by a day (now the 11th) and other stores have it listed for end of October...
Guess I'll be on the old Turner for another year.
JB just picked up a sweet new Tallboy yesterday.

Did he? Good for him, I was looking at those but they were pretty unavailable 'round these parts. I expect things will be weird for a while, so put your order in now since you'll be waiting either way!
I'm getting even more stymied by small parts, like shock hardware!
Port of Seattle is usually a pretty sleepy place. May see a single container ship docked about half the time. Drove by yesterday and the place was hopping. 4 docked ships and two anchored and waiting.
As a sailor and kite surfer I have some idea of the amount of force a wind storm can exert on the side of that stacked up container ship. I've also been around big ships enough to have some idea of what they can and can't do with their bow thrusters. I'm honestly surprised this hasn't happened before and predict it happening again if climate change causes more frequent gales in the area.
Shit, it is terrifying trying to help my friend dock his 32' cabin cruiser on a windy day.
Watcha getting? One of the reasons I may jump on my frame warranty sort-of-replacement is that I cannot get another bike anytime soon even if I wanted to spend the $.
Heavily tempted by an Evil Offering as the new Smashed Egg still isn't available. Different rear wheel hubs, so can't even start lining up parts.
That's quite a difference in geometry...
They're both 140mm bikes with similar #'s??
Do you still have to run a forward offset seat post?
Don't they pedal like a single pivot?

Getting off topic here, but my Bell roadie helmet did the same thing. I yanked the thing apart twice to shove the zippy-squeezey part back into the ratcheter mechanism. I'm outraged for both of us.
The little toothed plastic strap on mine snapped on one side. I've used super glue to stick it into the ratchet mechanism for now. The "crash replacement" price isn't *that* much cheaper than just buying one online so I'm trying to find someone with stock now. Tempted to get either the TLD Stage or Smith Mainline instead now though.
See the positives in this. At least all the noobs are not riding w/o helmet.
BTW: you have just one helmet???
What does that mean?
Odd, I had the last metal version before the new plastic Smash and sold it for an Offering after riding an Offering. Don't agree with this comment.
I have like 4 haha. One openface, one DH, old one with my lights mounted for night rides and the Bell Super DH which i was using for enderpo cos it has the removable chinguard.See the positives in this. At least all the noobs are not riding w/o helmet.

Actually there's like 4 old DH helmets still in the garage as mementos but I wouldn't trust any of them. The Bell is the newest of the lot weirdly, kinda annoying.
Wars were started over more trivial events in the past... this is going to end well.
Well, if it was a US ship, even if we were to blame, for sure we'd be bombing something right now.
