Wut

 

I just gave you internship summary gold.

 

Yeah, there is that. They have a few extended sizes (XL and XS in stock), but otherwise you're waiting. BMC tends to work in batches anyway--they get a shipping container of frames in, sell them, then order another. Companies that sizes often don't have the capital to order a new container until they've sold through their existing stock.

Then again... some of the big brands are backordered just as far.

A non-disk 26" LHT is basically a late '80s/early '90s MTB (or ATB, as they were called at the time) with a few more nubbins to hang racks and whatnot on. If you can find a Schwinn High Sierra, an '80s Trek 850 or pre-1994 930/950/970/990, or something similar in your size, you can make a really nice all-'rounder out of it. The best part is you'll get a rideable bike for maybe $200-300 and can upgrade as parts become available.

If you want a Crust, get on their mailing list and follow them on Instagram. They're like BMC (and Rivendell is the same way, too)--the bikes come in waves and sell out almost immediately. The OG Bombora (with the steel fork; https://crustbikes.com/products/bombora) just came in a few days ago. If you want one and have the cash and your size is in stock, you should jump on it. I've got an Evasion Lite and I've been happy with it, but I think the steel-fork Crusts are really where it's at.

 

I don’t think they like to admit there’s meth out here

 

Youth nowadays never appreciate help I tell ya hwut

 

It's such bullshit that the tundra carrier bearing is behind a u joint and not just 4 bolts

 

It's all Soo good till I saw the anemic motor and mediocre transmission behind it

 

Is an I joint just one half of a U joint?

 

Auto correct... It changes u to I

 

The 700R4 can be beefed up, I run a 4L80 by Performabilt

 

This Hilux was spotted outside of Ouray CO.

 

That looks just like one that was advertised on Craigslist around here for a while. I don't see the ad up anymore. I hope it found a good home.

 

Anyone looking for a Nintendo Switch before I post it up in the marketplace?

Thought I'd offer first dibs here.



Fucking mint

 

Unlike the last clean Hilux we saw that went to that dude with the Youtube channel that destroyed the poor thing

 

I've built old GTs, Specialized and even a cool 3 speed lugged Raleigh. I've been looking for a minty old Stumpy too and have this frame in my watchlist and that bananas condition Team complete below it:

Locally its been hit or miss but mostly its been garbage. My patience is a little thin so I'm branching out that's why I started looking into some completes but I hadn't looked at shops in so long I was outta touch with the supply issues. Plus I need a medium frame and they sell out so damned fast haha. How's the Evasion? Looks so good. I'm a steel guy as well. Haven't done an alloy bike yet.

 

BTW, thank you again for the tires!! Even more so it was nice to BS with ya

 

Got that fiber internet hooked up, goodbye buffering
