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

Yes that’s awesome! I’d rock it but to be fair I’d let my son ride a pink bike like that if it was free.

 

More red than pink.....he'll be OK.

 

thats rad af.

met a guy above copper mtn this summer. had a sick decal/wrap over his whole bike. like heavy metal rock and roll pictures all over and said schwinn in metallica letters. it was a kitted out fs so definitely not a schwinn. when i asked him he said it was a yeti (sb150 maybe?) and loved the way it rode but hated the views of yetis (only ridden by doctors and dentists) so he wrapped the whole thing. said it took a couple days, but it looked wicked cool

 

if @ripRavioli is lurking, his bike is hella rad too

 

Am I crazy or is that fork backwards?

that thing is sick!

I’m of the mindset though of having fun. Everyone gets vehicles all slick and whatnot and perfect, I’d way rather have one of those pink Cadillac SUVs from Freddie may or whatever it’s called than a super serious vehicle. I have Christmas lights in my bed it’s meant to be fun

Lol I'm pretty sure they are backwards

hah! I have actually read of people doing that intentionally though so it might be on purpose.

 

Its likely a manitou so the bridge is behind the stanchions.

 

Yep, Manitou fork. It’s on correct. As @Gunshot-6A stated, bridge behind the stanchions.

 

Ooh..

 

You won’t notice the difference, especially on a HT. Get what’s available and cheaper.

Oh, and the silver Hope T3E4 would be epic on that build.

It’s on right. Manitou. Check the brake mount and axle.

Been visiting some old stomping grounds in Boulder. Boys have been out building some new raw and rough trails. Place is steep and mean. Last ride was 9 miles of trail and 3,000 ft of nasty.
One of the climbs are 1,500 ft in 2 miles, and it’s loose af.

 

For goodness sakes, $12.5k
Do people finance bike purchases?

 

They won’t sell many of those upper tier models. Sexy bike but for f@cks sake a press fit bb?

 

Finally get to go ride today. Just gonna stick to some mild trails to get a feel for the Vittoria tires and get the derailleur dialed in, but man it’s been nearly 3 weeks..

my bruised calf does still hurt a bit some days but is much better

 

Nothing wrong with PF, just not as easy to work on at home. But ask yourself, how many times a year do you usually take off your BB? Your LBS usually charges around $20 to do it for you.
That said, I prefer threaded just so I can do the yearly tear-down over the winter.

 

If anyones looking for a Medium Specialized Enduro this local guy can ship... Bet this guy wish he wrapped it to help his resale though

Well thats the thing if you ride a lot through a lot of conditions the rider will more than likely want to maintain their bike, buying a press fit just does not allow you to easily do that. also threaded is so easy to swap if you ever had an issue on a trip or whatever it isnt hard to have an extra in your tool box or a local shop should/might have one on hand. bam bam in and out. if you are dropping a ton of cash on a bike, it should prob be threaded BB

 

Besides Knoxville, any places worth going by on the way to Ashville, NC?

How's the riding in Ashville, also going to start looking at camping spots that have a shower.
