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

Truth spoken here.

 

Hopefully “truth spoken here” is everywhere on this site. Without that, what do we have?

 

3rd gen owners

 

Ministry Psalm... Bike looks great but I'd be praying that for that shit to stay glued together. Too bad his name isn't Jesus.

 

Yeah, I think the naming is kind a turn off.
I’m unsure who he’s trying to persuade there.

I guess he is tired of every bike team trying to sound like a gang. YT Mob, SC Syndicate, etc…

 

Any word on those orders getting cancelled?

Guy on mtbr.com stated that BC gearheads originally contacted him and said they couldn’t honor the 46% off price, but could do 25%. He declined, and they later reached back out to him to offer 40% off.

Curious to hear how they’re handling other transactions from the error in pricing.

 

I didn’t see the counter offer if 40%. What number post was that in the thread.

 

It was in an ibis thread. Didn’t even realize there was a dedicated thread. Though I’m not surprised if there is one.

No

It's the Internet. It's nothing but truth. Every bit of it.

 

Truth spoken here.

 

Wow nice, I imagine they’d accept the $4000 for it, but either way dude got a deal that will keep him from losing money even if new bikes are released

 

It must be in the fall air that is coming, this bike talk! I’ve been spying some bikes, looking for something with a bit more travel, although I don’t need it. But it’s fun to look at bikes!

I took my bike in to the shop today to get the derailleur cable replaced and saw a Stumpjumper Evo in my size…haha. I didnt ride it though. I looked at it, touched it…thought it was nice, but…I don’t need it. It’s carbon as well and I’m not the greatest rider and don’t pick good lines, so alloy frame is better for me. Good thing the shop doesnt have the Evo alloy elite! Then I might be explaining a bit to the wife!

Also, they got my bike fixed pretty quick so that helped with not having to look at this carbon Evo any longer!

 

Lucky guy, got within 50% of cost

 

Carbon frames will survive anything an aluminum will, where carbon fails is from abrasion and aluminum dents. They both have pros and cons and biggest pro for aluminum is cost.

Most people against carbon would be on carbon if say frames were only 10% more… that’s my opinion on it.

 

Dang, I would've taken it at 40% off.

 

Give them a call and see if they’ll extend the offer.

 

Have a little faith

 

Shot in the dark but I emailed the rep back about it.

Have we reach the pinnacle in MTBing where brands just marginally improve their models each generation since bikes are so damn good?

 

Checking in now…………

 

I believe so..
