unfortunately it doesn't have an Avalanche shock or a Cane Creek DB.

it also doesn't have Hope brakes - that might cause retina scars to some people. :rolleyes:

no Fox 40 either - guess I'm not "in"

:devil:
I do however notice an E13 stem.... :eek:

I also haven't been able to ride her yet since the tilt of my handlebars and fore-aft setting of my saddle hasn't been approved by Orven. I'm just waiting for the final blessings before taking her out for a spin.

Don’t be fooled by the nice weather – pic was taken in giant green house.

Man, he replied to everyone but me, he must be really pissed. I flaked, what can I say...I am a former bike business guy-it creates flake tendencies!

The skies just opened up again.

Take a good look though, this'll probably be the last rain between now and November.

because of you I had to go out and buy:
- some spy goggles
- TLD shorts
- 661 gloves
- Ray-Ban Sunglasses (since they are Brian HCM#1 approved)

Luc, those tires aren't matching!!
Orange sidewall stripe....

oh and the weather here this last weekend was so-so..
Overlooking San Diego, The Bay and Coronado from Point Loma last Sunday. I'd say it's a good pre-ride breath of fresh air!

That's rad.

So uh, you guys ride bikes and stuff overlooking all that?

Seems distracting.
You can -on a road ride.

Nah, we went there to take a panoramic picture of San Diego for my Mom (for Mom's Day) so I can send it to her and make her realize how crappy Lakeland, Florida is -where she's at.

Then we went for an XC ride in the afternoon at the heart of NASCAR-land of San Diego in Lakeside/Santee.. that is the contrast.

black shoe polish works for temporary fix. I had to black out a Michilen sidewall when we were riding Tiogas... :p

I used the pic you sent me to Photoshop it on! :sneaky:

Stoney: those are Yokohama AVS ES100 - Auto Innovations in Milpitas stocks them. not sure if they make them for stockers...my rims at 17" not 16" like the stockers.

fine....I'll ask.....

how do you like it????
I find it SEXY - but too early to tell how it really performs.

Ian Collins said:
p.s....tires? :nope:
See, after running Michies for as long as I've been riding, decided it was time to try something different judge for myself instead of going off what’s being posted on forums…

I know what they are for. I just wondered why you had one on each side. You would think one would suffice.
one I bring down before every run to see how much travel I got on that specific run.

the other O-Ring leave alone - to see if I got full travel during the day of riding.
