Alabama thread!

somebody converted this:



to this:



and as cool as the end product is I have to ask why? is the only answer to that "why not?"

 

it was just a post on facebook, the stupid Tacoma World facebook page somebody shared the photos. lots of inbetween photos I just didn't want to copy/paste them all

 

Pretty sweet

 

better picture. TDC Hot Rods is who did it

 

Better than the grand Cherokee converted truck I see every morning.

 

Hey I'll buy beer and supply tools if y'all wanna knock it out one weekend lol. I'm mechanically inclined but like to have another set of experienced hands to guide me

 

I wanna get mine done too!

 

Be careful wish I was with you all

 

I'll be there,
Just letting you all know they are a few rides happening

 

Well damn

 

We got lots of tools. Proplem is finding the time to with my insane schedule lol

 

This is true.

 

Anyone into mountain biking? Looking at getting one. Whats a good budget bike? Also gonna do some hiking and camping a tannehill this weekend.

 

Less than $200 to see if i actually like mtn. biking lol. I was basically wondering what brands? I will def be buying used haha.

 

hate to break it to you but you won't find one for less than 200$ that's even worth taking off the sidewalk.

 

Whys that? Whats the cons? Like stiffness or what? I have no idea?

 

quality of components. it'll fall apart every time you ride. had a buddy take his mongoose out with us at monte sano and every 30ft he had chain issues. bike sucked arse.

I have a 350$ bike only because I got it half off at Dicks. that's about the best you'll find anywhere for a bike that'll at least ride but not be great.

 

ok might have to save up a bit longer then.

 

I would recommend that. to get started though I'd check Dick's or a local store for sales only for an entry bike, and like they said check CL and FB for deals. I fully expect to spend around 1k on my next bike that's why I haven't got another yet lol

 

Can confirm. Bought a $200 Walmart bike some time ago just to test the waters. On my 2nd ride, bolts on my stem came loose and so my handlebar was free to rotate back or forward which I found very unsettling since I was flying downhill at the time.

It's worth investing a few hundred dollars more for a quality brand. Besides the quality (and thus safety), they'll be more durable so last longer, and retain value better so can be turned around and sold again if you decide it isn't for you.
