Steel hardtails will never stop being fun. Ever.

Yeah, honestly you can do the techy things at Lynn with a lot of bikes, I think it's just that strong wheels/tires are a must (though that's honestly true for 90% of fun new england trails). Even...

The coming product notwithstanding - can I have a free one of whatever it is?

I'm betting helmet/glasses combo with integrated app or tracking that can do strava and gps with a bunch of maps...

My point is that used mojo's are quite affordable these days.

With the new HDR coming, you can definitely get an original mojo for $3k or less in decent shape. Hell, I built mine for 2300 a while back (got some shop pricing help on the frame, but a lot of the...

Looks like some Pivot and Ibis demos are coming up from JRA, so that should be a good foundation on what's out there and how it feels.

This is great advice. I echo the 4-5 inch bike with good climbing potential. Most trails are tight and rolling up and down, which is really quite fun, but totally different from the normal west coast...

Bikes are so fucking good now. Even my original mojo is starting to look long in the tooth (not that I even remotely ride enough to justify a new ride)

If you're going to be riding lynn woods, make sure you don't have a bike that feels "flexy", as there are a lot of tech moves there.

Drive up to Portsmouth, NH and buy one tax-free at Papa Wheelies. While not the best shop ever, they do have a pretty comprehensive selection and plenty of knowledgeable dudes. Also, I believe a free...

It's cheap enough that you don't need other rationalizations.


Buuuuuyyyy iiiittttttt

Maybe? It's single speed and heavy steel, so there's that, but if you were shuttling it might be fun?

OK, those fares kinda blow (never taken Caltrain). However, the transit options in the Bay Area are still miles above most areas. Contrast this with how you can get into Boston for Sox game (again,...

Cool, just worried since I have a weird single-tooth receding gumline and I'm paranoid due to my shitty luck with random stuff (Managed to actually contract measles 2 years ago despite being...

We have at least 2 more seasons.

Caught a stick to the mouth the other day mtbing, and it appears to have taken out part of my gums (just a piece over my tooth). I've gotten a tetanus shot and been rinsing with hydrogen...

Note that this model isn't good for the "near the resort" ski shop, but rather a more city type one. I think you could find traction in being the source for outdoors stuff in a city area, as I have...

I don't think so at all. A LOT happens in Storm of Swords, while comparatively little happens in Feast for Crows and Dance of Dragons that will be televised. I'm betting that we'll see a mix of all 3...

The key is to have some level of stock so people could put their hands on something or size appropriately. You'd also need some sort of special incentive from your online partner (IE, a revolving 10%...

Where do you live?

Yeah, I can see this model working really well, as the biggest problem is finding a good service shop. I imagine what kills most shops is the overhead of expensive stock. Imagine if you just had some...

It's meant as a "screw around" bike, so size doesn't really matter (I'm 5'10" and enjoyed riding it).

Reflectors were removed and sold to crackheads.

Paint samples are $100. I await your...

You told me those other services were free!

So I'm selling this:

Portland to SF isn't even that bad, mostly boring.

True, but I really don't see how that's better than $30 parking plus gas at 4 bucks a gallon, especially since you're probably coming from 50 miles away if you're not taking public trans.

$10 from where? Even Oakland -> SFO is only 8 bucks, and that's like 75-80% of the length of BART.

I will say the SF bike jihad has absurd power compared to EC cities, where bikes are mostly seen as a nuisance. SF is also a bad example of "cities that care about anyone but themselves", as SF likes...

Hugh,
The only reason the Giants are really getting rid of parking is for all that fucking prime real estate they can sell for absurd money. Have you been out by dogpatch/bottom of SOMA lately?...

I have a question for you Hugh - do you think Market from Castro to Embarcadero is an effective roadway? Wouldn't it be more effective if all you had was buses and bikes through that section? It's a...

The absolute venom about this is just ridiculous from New Yorkers. You're in one of the biggest cities in the world and you're bitching about people trying to reduce traffic by introducing city...

Call it "Vintage Cross Country" as that used to be the kind of terrain cross country races featured. Or "the classic" series.

I'd say "oh hipsters", but the guy is from Slovenia and getting this done, so good on him for spreading the market.

There's no way we'd ruin it for you. How many people do you think threw the book across the room after reading it?

Wait, is someone here complaining that they may dick over Talisker? Really?

This is about presence in as many major markets as possible so they can upsell people from anywhere. How long until...

Here's what I don't get about a lot of shops:
All you hear is the complaints about small margins on hardgoods etc. etc.

So why not partner with a bigger online entity and keep a very limited...

PS - Feel free to PM from your main or this account if you want more area info.

Yeah, here's the breakdown (assuming Waltham exits):

Nashua/Manch -...

Nah, I just used to work in the area (work for Liberty), but there should be a ton of stuff in the 128 corridor as well as cambridge or nashua/manch area. I will say this - the commute from NH to...

There are a metric ton of opportunities in that area. Where outside of Boston?
If you want defense, look up BAE in Nashua/Manch

Oh, additionally it looks like there may be some engy openings at...

Do you guys even read? He was talking about tipping, not paying for service.

Yeah, the 2014 Forester is looking quite strong, especially with the option for the turbo motor, even on the CVT. For the family types, it was the only vehicle in to ace all of the new safety tests,...

Yeah, if they cut him out I'll be pissed. He has so few parts and is so easy to characterize that it's almost a crime to exclude him.

Just an FYI that you may want to drop your price, as you can get these new from evo for 20 bucks more.

You should probably run 650B's to be ahead of the curve.
