DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

fixed my retrax cover finally!!!!

 

yeah im too broke for a 29er so im stuck on a 26er for a while, built this bike too damn nice a comparable 29er is outside what im willing to pay

 

Ya. My plan in 2020 was to buy a new bike in 2021 to race enduro... well since you can't really get bikes right now I'm not racing any enduro. Hopefully next year I can get a new one!!!!

 

Anyone looking to adopt a kitten or two? My mom's health is deteriorating, and she's not really able to foster cats anymore.

 

Need some apartment recommendations from local folks. I've browsed the usual apartment websites, but can't really trust the reviews (either too good to be true or from tenants that are upset).

My requirements are: $1200 budget, 1 bedroom, attached garage (preferably with driveway space for second car or some additional parking lot spaces), safe neighborhood so I don't have to worry about people breaking into our vehicles, not too far from Dallas (within 30 minutes commute during peak hours).

 

No idea how this sumbuck is still running.... it fogged up the freeway at one point.

 

Sumbuck?

 

Sumbish

 

Ah, sumbitch

 

Sounds more like a townhome, but even then I’m not sure.

 

Also this.

 

What was the rate increase supposed to be?

 

up to 35 from 25

 

We lived in a 2 bedroom apartment for 6 months when we moved here with a decent attached garage and extra parking (could park outside your garage door, as well as other spots in the lot). Don’t remember the rent; might have been higher than that. But it was in Coppell, so probably a bit far for you. They weren’t awesome, but seemed safe enough.

 

New tires are beefy, brakes were a pain but big improvement for my crusty 26er

any other riders?

 

@HCJ has recent experience and might be able to provide some insight

 

I've got a shitbox Specialized downhill bike collecting dust upstairs at my place. Needs new tubes for sure, maybe new tires.

 

Coppell/Valley Ranch is the area I've lived in for the last 10 years. Rent is just over $1000 for 1 bedroom with attached garage. Its mostly East Indian families that live here. Low crime and relatively quiet, just have some bad drivers, lol. I really don't know of any area closer to Dallas that has many apartments with attached garages. I would say its almost half of the complexes in this area do. North Dallas has some (north of 635 between I35E & US75) but the crime rate is probably higher and still at least 30 mins from downtown on the Dallas North Tollway. Apartment complexes are popping up everywhere in DFW, but most are a single huge building with a multilevel parking garage attached. Good luck with the search!

 

...back when we used to do stuff...
