    Favorite bikes of kidwoo, creaky, stuckie, and canwilf

    Surely those four can agree that these are the finest specimens of mountain bike technology ever developed:

    seriously, how can you put woozer with me? dude's all manichaean, a one-note charlie. we get it, Minion DHFs in DH casing 2.7 are what people should run when they are Guitar Teds riding the flat paths of Indiana, and nobody's BB ever should rise above a foot off the ground, and the only way around a turn is slash-and-burn. sounds exactly like me.

    best bike of all time? that's ELITIST, you fargin' icehose.

    This one without a doubt. It is a 29er and it has a special brake arrangement Stucky and Creaky did a great cable routing job. As a backup, I'll take that Finstones bike

    Maybe that is the bike for me, it looks like networking cable bundles. lulz Do I need a Fluke cable tester before I ride that monstrosity or just a healthy lack of common sense and fear of hurting myself?

    that hipster trash is too elitist for me

    sanhedrin, caustics, tic doloreaux and self-abnegation are where it's at

    I like how one of the hydro lines is nestled into the rotor's scalloping. it's a parking brake.

    Look for a TGR clickbait-laden feature soon, telling readers to come to the forum for enlightened insight into the world of esoteric mountain bikes. And stuff.

    since quality satire requires elements of truth, an easy one that Buck Henry could've written would be


    You're old and busted and worship Bicycle Repairman so have no idea what actual riding is, you stupid fuck

    but that was pretty good for a guy who mostly rides bikes pretty well (and isn't known for his satire)

    Some interesting cranks and the lefty (sort of) came out of that eventually.

    I ski with Alex's son Sk00ks on occasion, used to be a regular Alpentalic.
