yeah! Same model I picked up. Thing is a champ.

I know it's hot but if you do find yourself east of the cascade crest and want to explore on some light xc trail/gravel, check out the GRiT courses. The XL was pretty awesome, and all new to me...

sale pending on the tent

bump. Throw me a reasonable offer. As my father always said "you can't win the raffle if you don't have a ticket"

bump still available

dont forget the six pack

yes. always a cluster fuck, but, despite thinking I would miss my next flight every time, I never have (probably a dozen times through that customs checkpoint/transfer on arrival). Last time was in...

I keep going back to Schwalbe G-One allrounds for the 50/50 use you describe. very fast rolling on the pavement and handle a pretty wide range of conditions on dirt.

aren't you supposed to be touring or something?:fmicon:

thanks everyone. I've skied at Palisades/Alpine a lot and Mammoth a few times so am familiar with the terrain, thankfully our 3 family group are all reasonably competent including kids so don't need...

Which one is more of a shitshow over President's Day weekend? Mammoth Mountain or Squaw/Alpine? I know the answer is 'both are horrible'. But for various reasons we are planning a multi-family...

definitely check out the Santa Cruz Chameleon... these can be found pretty cheap and build up as a fun and capable ss.

Iowagriz- there is always next year and the year after that. sounds like you made a very good call. thanks for bringing us along for the ride! that forecast looks brutal (for riding bikes anyway :))

A good riding buddy (non-TGR) swooped in. He loves 'em so far.

SOLD

Cross post. For Sale FSA K-Wing AGX carbon drop bar size 44. Sethschmautz has dibs if interested from previous thread...

For Sale: Used FSA K-Wing AGX Carbon handlebar, ideal for gravel rigs. See here for specs. Great shape. No crashes. A little scratching of the protective coating where the levers mount (see last...

awesome. good luck to your racer!!!

bravo

very happy with Gemini... all machined alu, great weather seals, battery seems to be holding its own. Have a two lens bar mount and a rear mount red blinky. two years and zero issues.

Add the Diamondback Sync'r 24 to your list... can find them for reasonable prices used. solid bike! I'll likely have one to unload this year, but I'm 3000 miles away.

I'm just disgusted with americans right now. NZ gets it

That same night, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned the shooting, as both a politician and a mother, in an appearance on...

Are you sure FedEx isn't the carrier behind your vehicle transport? I'm going though a similarly confusing and painful exercise right now trying to find out where a pair of cycling shoes I ordered...

agreed. Probably has something to do with us being here over 15 years haha

this was so great on many levels. and to echo earlier comments, massive props to you and your wife... kids don't just embrace adventures like this out of the blue. This is obv the result of some...

Props to Mustonen. Two recent transactions.
1) I sold Mustonen some kids boots, super good communication, immediate payment
2) We just pulled off a classic maggot ski trade... no cash, required...

the punishment for that mustache should be death by bone saw...

how about starting another thread to debate the merits and motivations of the tex-mex war?

Diamond is a fantastic song

Not what you are asking for, but I have two 175 cranks you can choose from. Truvativ Stylo and one of the original The Hive cranks with the massive spindle and proprietary BB. Both are 104 BCD and...

Where is the pic taken from? trying to get my bearings, thanks.

Some day your kids will look back on that and it will hit them just how awesome of parents you are :)

I agree with this. I was very pleasantly surprised. and it was relatively cheap. extra bonus I love the Deftones.

can vouch for the provenance here... I picked these up used from iriponsnow, never used them, passed on to justcuz. glws

where are you located KTO?

thanks for sharing this! That view on a clear day from the top of Shilthorn of Eiger, Jungfrau and Munch is memorable, isn't it? I've only been to that area in summer, your TR tells me I need to go...

following! looking forward to this.

Alto Adige, Stelvio... IMHO all of the areas along the Austrian border are just spectacular. I'm clueless on all of the details having only been to the general area twice. We spent a week in the...

this is a great thread. Funny how so many people are chiming in with the 'age goes up/tent camping goes down' takeaway (unless adventure related). Totally in that boat. We had a nice class B for 4...

How are "hoser" and "homer" in the word list?

wow. very nice.

What happened to the pic? Gone for me.

not ticking all of your boxes Buster, but worth a mention in this thread. Club Ride Apparel Blaze Vest. Got it as a gift for cold weather biking, damn if I don't find myself wearing it...

I'm loving the wolftooth super cushy "Supple" tape. Certainly not light, but probably lighter than a double wrap. Nice feel dry or wet. I have larger hands so the wider diameter feels fine

Bump anyone need a nice tent?

thanks...

thanks for this thread AD. Bfree- curious, did you hire "Perdomo" for interior or exterior? We're starting to look for interior painters, would be good to know if you were especially happy with them...

bump.

I'll be here all week

PM sent thanks
