Good deal on sliders...



@Tatts521

 

Do you mountain bike?

 

I did 20 odd years ago.

Until I fractured my clavicle at Silver Mountain-Idaho, concussion at Whistler, B.C. , and tore my meniscus and had to be rescued by ATV at Moab-Utah.

Mountain biking is dangerous.

 

Why im welding my sliders on sunday

 

Never actually done mountain biking before, but it always seems interesting. I just do local trails and streets mostly. Sometimes through paths in woods and such, but that's it. Any difficulty comes from long hills and being stuck in the middle gears all the time cuz borked bike.

 

Daaaaaaaaaamn! Had a few friends get hurt at Whistler last time we went. I stopped riding downhill about 7 years ago. I just got back to riding cross country last year after a long rehab from an accident. Not sure if I can ride a road bike for long distances anymore. Did you ever ride the longest day?

 

Those aren't sliders those are nfab "rock rails". Basically over priced over built step bars

 

I got lots of welding to do on sunday. Plus having my brother wire all my lights up.

 

Road biking is what I've been doing since I was 11 and won my 10 speed Huffy selling Little League chocolate bars in San Diego.

This is what I ride now: Carbon fiber aero frame/wheels/bars, titanium hardware, electronic shifting and GPS Nav.
In the second pic, that's my little brother passed out behind the bikes.


I've ridden Seattle to Portland 200+ miles over a dozen times. Most years, I've split it between two days. A couple of times, I've done the entire double century in one day.

I've also climbed Mt St Helens a few times and have always had fun riding Rosarito to Ensenada in Mexico.

Couple years ago I rode across Iowa (RAGBRAI) 6 days and almost 500 miles. That was fun!

I've raced The Tour of the Battenkill in NY. Was last place in my age group

 

Would love to possibly tag along the next time you go out there if my build is done by then. We have friends living in Danville which appears to be just north of Anthracite. if I played my cards just right, my wife and daughter could visit the friends and I could go out to play!

 

Damn, man. You are not to be underestimated. Last place or not, that's some impressive stuff. Makes me feel ashamed that I sit around most days anymore

 

Nice Cervelo, You rode some cool places! 500 miles in 6 days is impressive

 

@Toy4me Some day, whenever you're free, would you mind taking a look at my bike? Idk much about them, so hopefully you could give me an idea of what it needs. I'm sure it's one hell of a laundry list...

 

What kind of bike do you ride?

 

Sure Mike. I'm around Sunday till about 3:00 or most any evening this coming week. Bring it by and I'll throw it in the stand.

 

She did! Best part, that was her first time in an off-road vehicle. Said she understands why it's fun, will go with me every time, just won't drive lol.

She didn't panic down brake check, so that's a good sign lol

 

Yeah, they look big and wide. But, with my 315's and the high clearance rear with the side tubes , it's the same width as my truck. It's just a big square box, so it looks wider.

 

Ha! Ryan did... right @Sub-Zero

 

You welding em?

 

Mine is never going on a trail. It's base camp. But, they're 100% more heavy duty than our trucks... lol
