All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

haha well "to locals" is an exception, but a brand always has a correct pronunciation.

Like "Nike". It's Nigh-kee, but some fools don't say the ee on the end....they say it like Pike.

 

Bwahaha...

 

Hey, CA isn't scott free either. How the hell you gonna ignore the spelling of the bustling town of Zzyzx?

We can't all be like you kickin our heels up on our desk overlooking the harbor in the historic german town of "Whale Vagina"

 

Yeah... I drive through Zzyzx every time I go to UT. There's a bike company that even named itself after that place... https://www.corratec.com/company/zzyzx/
BTW... I've been working from home for the past two months so I'm missing that view from the office.

 

My office overlooks the dumpsters out back. I miss your view too.

 

Is that a Salsa Cutthroat? Tell me about it...

 

Here you go...

 

Rode a few miles on the new tallboy the other day. I just sold my 2nd gen tallboy a few weeks ago and the new one had a familiar pedaling feel but much more relaxed on the front end. I demoed the sb130 and the Ripley last fall, enjoyed both and they climbed well but neither had the relaxed cockpit and instant confidence that the tallboy gave me and I think the tallboy would out climb either, especially on tech stuff. Would be nice to ride them back to back.

 

So jealous

 

Shit my office doesn't even have a window

 

same...sucks

 

We also have a place called "Shingle Springs" I pass through on the way to Tahoe.

 

One man's trash (can) is another man's treasure?

 

How about a little Mount Ranier to go with that?

 

Nice...

 

That thing is f'n sexy.

Got a link to the article for that bike? I couldn't find it.

 

I do like that purple they use for the tall boy. It’s not in your face purple, it’s a deep color

 

I just picked up my Stormbringer purple TB4 frame from the shop yesterday. Demoed that bike and the SB130 back to back a few months ago. Was planning to get on the ripley V4 as well but ran outa time.

All three seemed like killer bikes on paper, and the SB and TB did not disappoint. I think either would make exception one bike stables for a lot of folks and I can confirm both brought major fun and capabilities. The TB just fit my style and preferences a little more than the Yeti.

I always use Nikes (pikes) as the short version of Nike (ni key) lol
