The post whore thread.

damn...wax wants to blow 5K on a bicycle...more power to ya bro.

In college when I was somewhat racing, I bought a brand new $7.5k road bike for only $3.8k (thanks to team sponsorship). Still have it, almost sold it a few years back for some money, but I figured I'd never be able to afford another bike that nice so I decided to keep it .

But I have to say, it is an absolute DREAM to ride! And the integrated seatpost is just beautiful!

awesome bikes though - i've gone through my 29er phase already

well, if you're going to join the big kids diving down mountain sides....you should probably have the best shit available....i'm thinking.

the weed flaming and yard mowing proved enough strain for the arm today....i'm inside bound for the remainder of the day.

i surprised habib at the liquor store down in brighton. i carried my two 24's up to the counter and set them on the floor...pinched one crab style and lifted it up on the counter for scanning.

i guess he wasn't expecting my skinny old white ass being capable of doing that. shit, i only have half the hand strength i had 20 years ago. it isn't that hard to pick up two 24's with one hand/arm for transport to the car either. hell, he thinks i'm gifted.

but you guys know i'm just this side of retarded, so it cancels out.... lol

Haha, I was on crutches for my 21st (last time I had knee surgery actually, the surgery was about a week after my bday). Anywho, I managed to carry two handles of liquor and two 6 packs of beer, while crutching, up to the register. They felt bad for me that no one helped me, so they gave me a nice discount

i went through 2 phases at the same time, 29er and singlespeed

i had a niner one9 - that was a cool bike

i guess "discount" isn't part of sand jockies cash register program.

after your experimenting over the years...what did you finally settle on, as your main bicycle?

yep and that costs $$$$$

a new fork for my full suspension is $1000, a new rear shock is $600 - these are fox - i won't use anything else - i'm glad fox stuff is tough - i won't have to replace my 2006 versions for a couple more years

here's a question. i try to be respectful to all species, from bugs...all the way up the ladder....however, am i really doing mother nature a disservice by killing every paper wasp surrounding my home?

i have a chumba evo (26") for the mountains - chumba seems to concentrate on europe even though they are made in california

i usually ride a santa cruz chameloen (26") hardtail down here

i kinda want to try the new turner burner 27.5"

i kill 'em, been stung too manys while minding my own business. they liike to buzz me or see how close they can get to me when i'm reading a book outside so i kill them - if they aren't smart enough to know i'm a human and i don't smell like a tree then they aren't smart enough to live
