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

haha. I ride my fat e-bike even in the winter to work. 2 mile ride. Love the days it snows. I have a blast with it but I definitely get stares and doubletakes from all the drivers as I'm extra bundled up.

 

Definitely need some pics. I think people look at me crazy because it's still dark out and I'm riding a long travel mountain bike with a backpack

 

Hahaha I know right?

I got passed by a dude on a fat ebike the other day on my road ride going up a steep hill. I was so pissed and I was like fuck this I’m catching him...then I did but was very tired hahaha

 

Lol a lot of the people I ride with do 200-300 miles a week so I feel like I don’t ride a lot!

 

I do suppose if you add road biking in, its easier to rack up those miles.

 

haha. here's one from January of 2019. It's a literal piece of shit bike but I commute on it, go grocery shopping, go to the bar during the summers. saves me lots of mileage on my truck.

 

Thanks for confirming. Recently I picked up an alloy Chromag and getting my teeth knocked out vs my previous steel Kona Honzo. Never knew it was such a noticeable difference

 

Went full blown DH wheel this time around and confirmed I can re-use the spokes!

 

ok, but can we have some more pics of the space?

bike wall, mountain wall...pretty sweet

 

Nothing too special, it's just an open space in our house. My personals stay inside but the buy-sell inventory stays in the shed. Personal bike stable is finally where I want it - Gravel bike, DJ, Chromag, mid-travel bike, and DH bike

 

Curious, how do you do bike rentals for tour customers?

Do you keep a small assortment of bikes, or worked out a referral deal with a LBS where maybe you get percentage of rent?

 

Wife's always encouraged me to get the bike if I think it's "reasonable." lol.... I guesss I'm pretty responsible when it comes down to it though.

 

Good question. We have a partnership with a local bike shop. Clients tell us their size and we present the bikes ready to ride. LBS carries the inventory costs/maintenance while we are able to provide a good selection of quality bikes for our clients, it's a win-win

 

so what bikes are carried at that LBS? wonder if when I get to come up there I'd like to try out another one.

 

I have access to Yeti, Kona, and Cannondale. If you come up here I'll let you ride one at my cost - the downside of no inventory is no free rides

 

Sweet, just figured it’d be a decent opportunity to see if I feel like I’m missing out haha. I’d also really like to try a Kona hardtail, they’ve caught my eye since the beginning before I decided to go full squish and got my stumpy

 

Nice little ride after work Already loving this bike.

 

Hahah I saw your post in the gallery thread on /r/MTB and thought I recognized the bike from somewhere...

 

My cover is blown Finally got her a little more dialed. Tweaked the suspension, swapped wheels, new stem.
