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

For anyone interested, I'm going to be listing my Polygon for sale shortly. It's a 2021 Polygon Siskiu T7, size medium, 27.5 wheels, 150mm fork, 140mm rear, with some nice upgrades. Upgrades as follows:
Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate fork 150mm travel (Factory Rockshox Recon will go with the bike)
I9 1/1 wheelset (Factory wheels will go with the bike also. I had the factory wheels rebuilt by my LBS. Both sets of wheels set up tubeless, spare tubes will transfer. The rear wheel has the factory Schwalbe Hans Damf tire mounted, the front factory wheel is just a wheel)
Cane Creek headset
XT derailleur (I bent the factory Deore and replaced with XT)
PNW Loam Grips (grips on there are a little chewed up at the ends, I have a brand new set in the same color that I'll put on)
MRP shark fin
Schwalbe Magic Mary front tire

Bike has treated me well and has been well maintained. It's been mostly a trail rig. It has signs of use, the crank arm ends have some rock rash, some minor dings in paint but nothing major, nothing structural. All bearings and bushings are tight.

 

Quick ride this morning. Before the weather gets ugly.

 

What are you asking?

 

For all you MTB hero dirt lovers! Everyone loves moe traction!

For the last month or so I’ve been volunteering on bridge construction at a BLM site which is opening soon for public access with bike-legal singletrack trails. I have helped with a lot of the flagging and some trail construction as well. Normally the volunteer crew tries to ride-share but yesterday we all drove individually. Six Toyotas: two 1st gen Tundra’s, three 1st gen Tacoma’s (one 5 lug, one 4wd RC, and one 4wd XtraCab) plus my 3rd Gen. Who says Toyota’s aren’t work trucks?

 

this makes me both happy and sad. sad that there isn't more variety for variety's sake. but happy because toyota.

 

The previous week we had the two Tundra’s, my Ford van, and a Chevy Bolt. So there is variety … but when the last Toyota pulled in the other day, I knew a photo op when I saw it. Three of the trucks are full time work trucks.

 

i sometimes wish i bought my dad's 1st gen tundra. happy i ended up with my tacoma and at least the tundra went to his sister, my aunt, and is still in the family

 

I was going to list it on PinkBike for $2,750 as a starting point and see what’s what. Hard to gauge where to price it, it was around $2k new and it has about that in upgraded parts and will go with the complete spare wheelset and fork. If someone here wants it, I’d give a better price to get it in a new home quickly.

 

Cool, I have friends that are always in the market.

 

Sounds good, spread the word! I'd love to get this thing sold quick and backfund the new bike.

 

For anyone near Hartford CT and interested, US Cyclocross Nationals are at Riverside Park through the weekend! It’s like a traveling circus, food trucks and UCI Beanies and TV cameras and such. Oh, and cowbells…lots of cowbells.

My daughters are racing at 9:05 and 10:30.

 

Grown man’s Christmas morning

 

Wrap it before you ride it. Gotta wear protection!

My daughter has a few friends out there this weekend. She goes to school in Colorado and the bike team sent a handful of kids out there. Fun to see them participate in these events. Got to watch nationals in 2021 in Durango. That was an event! And lots of cowbells as well!!

Hope your daughters do well!

 

I’ll look for Colorado riders and raise “cowbell hell” for them. I’ll be one of the guys in multiple hats, and I think I have a carebear costume and maybe a unicorn? I’m not sure what’s in the bag of get-ups for today…

 

Sick!

 

Ha! Excellent! The school is Fort Lewis College - colors are sky blue, blue and gold. Go Skyhawks!

 

I should probably mention to anyone not familiar, this type of encouragement is normal for Cyclocross.

 

When all trails in the ATL area is closed, Talking Rock is a good option to get a spin in. Plus, I finally got some decent dirt time on the 29'r. It's a fun bike.
