Prestige (or prestigous) in Goleta does really good work.
To those wondering about the status of Sinister Bikes... (x-post from Lounge)
- Thread starter binary visions
- Start date
No way, I'm absolutely loving being a substitute teacher, and the company doesn't need the burden of an office slob right now. The pay is about the same, and the commute is shorter by about an hour each way. Plus i get to change the world. I always thought i wanted to be a bike industry goon, but honestly teaching is awesome. Not quite as many bike-related perks, but I can dealTranscend said:
Working with Clysdale and FTW is actually alot like Highschool, but Clys has to keep FTW and I paying attention and on task.
just finished the new website....give it a look... www.sinisterbikes.com
Sinister rules! Glad to hear all is OK.
I got to ride with David (clysdale) this weekend. Good guy. Our trails kept him on his toes 
And I got to check out the R9 in person for the first time. Quality frame construction, nice details (bumper stops, Avy mount).
Having David in Ca is definitely going to help Sinister's sales. Lots of people have never seen one in the flesh and were quite excited to, I know I was.

Nah, these trails do the same to me all too frequently
I bet the R9 PWN3D Tunnel!
I'm likin' their new 6" bike for an SB XC rig!
You are right Noah, a lot of SB guys will be riding Sinister's soon enough I'm sure.
I might be coming down afte Zmas through Jan2, I only have the Bear and no DH bike, the Enduro isn't built yet but I am dying for some Knapps shuttles!!!!

I was super bummed to find that out myself. knapps was a fun little trail.Zark said:Knapps is dead
Top mile and a half is bulldozed bro, all the way to the saddle, a crying shame to ruin a great trail like that :angry:
I'm up for some riding though. Lemme know whassup
cool stuff goin on at sinister, always liked the look of those bikes.
welcome to sb cylsdale!
I'm a SB monkey too, I think I might be only the 2nd person to Noah who has a black M1 
Mexican food....hmmm.....that's a tough one. El Sito is across the street from me (they're good) but we eat at Los Arryos once a week. I love their food but I never eat there, always get it go to as it gets way crowded.
Body shops are a dime a dozen here. If you want your car fixed right try prestigous? spelling? Out off fairview in goleta. I had my camaro looked at there and they were pretty stright up about what the repairs would cost etc...
Noah and the other SB guys would be good tour guides. There's cold springs/san ysidro/tunnel/jeusita etc....trails that are all fun rides. More mesa and ellwood have the jumps going on and such.
Congrats though on a new job, new place to check out, and hopefully the high price of everything here doesn't make you run away My entire family (both mom and dad's) are from Vermont. Mostly hillbilly's but it's all good. It's amazing how depending on where you're at how much cost of living can be adjusted. I'd pay the price though to live here. It's what, 3:45 in the after noon, December 22, and it's sunny, 63 degrees

Just wish the housing prices weren't so gah damn high. :mumble: Lots of cool people in town, and the riding scene is only growing. If your into dirt jumping and such you should come out to ellwood on saturdays, its becoming pretty cool spot with all the work we're putting in.clysdale said:
for a cool local bar check out The Press Room on ortega st.
