Ha, I've had a similar thing happen when I last resort fixed a tube by cutting it at the hole and tied it in a knot, held air and 'thumped' at the knot. Skinny road tube on commuter bike, would be hard to do with something bigger.

Better come with a happy ending

It has "graphene" so it must be a bargain at any price.
Pfft. I’ve been lubing my chain with snake venom for $300 an ounce.

If you don't want to click: rods that attach to your fork lowers and go up like 4-5 feet to stop spider webs hitting you in the face
If it keeps them fuckin banana spiders off me, it’s worth it.

I'm not gonna get those, but I get it. Starting in late July, Spiny Orb Weavers cover the trails with webs. I've had some bad days where I've hit over a dozen of them and have the little fuckers hanging of me and the bike. Thankfully, the runners are typically out earlier than I am doing some clearing with their faces.
Yeah Specialized S-Works with AXS is similarly priced. I'd rather buy a used car for that price, but the dentists out there gotta ride something I guess.
Can we talk about the existence of e-balance bikes?

I get that powerwheels have been a thing forever, but the last thing I need is my 3yo brapping along at 11 mph
I mean, it's basically just an e-pit bike. Little kid sized dirt bikes with centrifugal clutches aren't anything new. Those "balance bikes" are functionally identical, just lighter and a bit slower.
Probably not a bad option if you want your kid to get comfy on dirt bikes.
Why the fuck is that cannon dale so much? It’s really nothing special. Or is the rigid carbon frame worth 7 grand?????

Yeah, because I have been having SO many problems with the non-replaceable part of my alloy tubeless valve stems...

$1000 balance bike?
Attachment 351041
2.1 kg, you could put the FSA SuperLight headset bearings in that and reduce the weight by - 9.2 grams, 6 stem bolts replaced with alloy bolts -6.2g. Tune Würger Skyline seat post collar -23g.
Is it set up tubeless? Lightweight skewers? Bolts on the saddle clamp? Star nut or light weight compression plug? Carbon Top Cap with carbon bolt? Brass or aloe nipples?
I could make that thing almost $2000
Gotta admit though, that thing is dope. All fucking black and grey like the bat mobile! Each and every one of you knows that you’d get one if you could!

I remember years ago the schwinn world cup mechanic made a custom kid sized straight eight. It had a scaled down boxxer and everything. It was more pimped out than some pro's bikes. Annoyingly, I can't seem to find a picture of.
Anyways, this seems pretty similar - some guy at specialized who's semi high up on the ladder wanted to make a sweet bike for his kid. And since that involved making a carbon mold, they said fuck it and did a production run.
I bet they sell out. If money was no worry for me, why not.
