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

Hit me up when you get back to GA. On my way home from an AZ trip. Ready to be in the trees/shade again. Hiline pic for stoke

 

Well, last ride before life changes forever.
Headed to the hospital in the morning, baby’s on the way!

 

Anyone know of ANY 27.5" Small bikes in stock or orderable anywhere?

 

Congrats on the little grom!

 

Went for my first outside ride after breaking some ribs. Felt good to get outside on the gravel. It's unseasonably warm too. Be a week or so more before I hit the trail again.

 

Congrats! Also they make some pretty cool child carriers these days. Recommend https://thebikedads.com/ for some resources to get some little grom time in there. Even if their tastes are a little more pricey than what I feel like throwing at a kiddo.

 

GL. make friends with LBS.

Neighbor has been searching for a few months and is having a hell of a time finding what he wants, too.

 

What difficulty trails are you looking for? There is an abundance on trails in that area

Why are you against ordering form a bike shop?

 

Maybe they're not against it.

You can't get a 27.5 from my shop this year if you didn't reserve it months ago.

 

Pretty much this. I have been satisfied with my 29er all season. Got a 27.5" itch, but yes none in shops, too late.........

Thanks guys.

 

Congrats!! Well wishes to mom and little one.

Was out with my little ones today. Maiden voyage for the Shotgun Pro. My little bro fully approved.

 

I would love to ride Kitsuma, looks awesome but I'm afraid and pretty positive it will be a little too fast and steep for my girl. Something intermediate? How is Bent Creek or Black Mountain?

 

Have you tried a shop or are you just assuming they won't have one? Wife just bought a 27.5 small from our LBS. It was just sitting on the showroom floor. They had 1 or 2 others as well.

All of our local shops won't sell online right now because they specifically bought models for their local customers.

 

Are you asking me? I sell em so I know they're all spoken for.

Not surprising someone is having trouble finding one. Especially in November which can be a dry month in the best of years.

 

Yes I look and call quite a bit. This area is pretty much a high demand area I guess you could call it - people want 27.5" still.

Yeah unfortunately Kitsuma is one of the easier trails in the area.

Dupont has your name written all over it

Give my man Chris a call https://pisgahmountainbikeadventures.com/ They're a professional Guiding company and can optimize a ride perfect for you both

 

Bent Creek is good and is in an experimental forest so it has some cool scenery - maybe not so much in November.

DuPont has plenty of intermediate trails and theres a lot of waterfalls in the area. There is a lot more variation down in Brevard.
