It's finally spring. What are you looking to buy?

Just bought a house that needs a lot. A stove and a fridge, a new wall, some windows, exterior paint, electrical upgrade all around, and floor refinishing. Later it will be an entire kitchen and two bathroom remodels.
But screw it I'm also getting a new DH bike and a new trail bike...

Just had a wheel built so no more toys this month but I really wanna try an angle set on my nomad.
Good luck, my little brother was working on a mechatronics degree. Now he's a civil engineerAnd "buying" me an engeeniring degree in mechatronics. (Well mostly it's also a lot of work
Sounds like a degree they give out at Lego University.Good luck, my little brother was working on a mechatronics degree. Now he's a civil engineer
Getting a Surly Cross-Check to use as a commuter. Unfortunately my mtb doesn't get used enough to justify upgrades (hoping that changes back to the way it used to be but not counting on it).
My road bike is in need of some parts but not sure what I want to do with it since I plan on getting a new one next winter. Since it looks like I'll be building it up whatever parts I need to get I should be able to use on the new bike, the other option that I am thinking about is just selling it and using the little bit of money I get from the sale to start getting parts earlier in the year. The deciding factor will be how much I ride it after getting the Cross-Check.

a lot of people have demo9 on their ignore list. or just ignore him
no i didnt get it
I would love to have one of those. Beautiful bike.Gonna get two(one for wife, one for me) of these:
Explaining it just dont have the same punch but here goes...
I said I was buying an Escalade! Because my initials are SK and if I get one I'm gonna get major laid...
Get it? S K as in Ess Kay. SK laid, as in Es Kay Laid, and or Escalade.
And JohnKranked, I'm not taking the longer shock jokes serious. I'm realizing a lot of guys on here are a bunch of wise crackers so I'm actually starting to laugh at some of the wise cracks. (Although people seem to take my wise cracks seriously and get all defensive.) Why I don't know... I'm blatantly obvious when I do it.
I should change my name BigHitr to SKLaid! WINNING!!!!!

sorry. i'm drunk and getting drunker.
if it makes you feel any better, i frankensteined a fork this weekend. RS revelation uppers & internals with pike lowers. all so i could run a 20mm axle.
I hate down time, waiting for parts to come in the mail, and missing incredible weekends riding, so when Trek warrantied my bike with $$$ off on a new bike, I jumped at the better bike over a frame. And rather than sell all of the old components, shifters, wheels tires etc all for a loss on Ebay, I built a second with another KF1 frame which I got for just $500 w/shock and headset all brand new. Couldn't resist that deal! And both bikes sold used wouldn't add up to that Intense $$ new.sell one of your matching dh bikes
soooooooo just go to your local KFC and sell enough crack to fund another bike. problem solved!
Okay I figure Frankenstein means you mess up a fork. I'm not 20's so I'm trying to figure this all out. Took me forever to figure out LBS and i2i. So figuring it means your destroyed a fork, DAMN! Where the hell do you guys ride? Or what are you jumping your bikes off of or landing on? GEESH! You guys must ride nuts. Avalon ain't like that.
P.S. I hope you didn't get hurt.
ha no. what i mean was....
i have(had?) a stock 2008 Rock Shox Revelation Dual air. it was standard quick release axle. QR = noodley.
I found myself some old pike lowers, and replaced the stock fork lowers on my revelation with the pike lowers, which had a 20mm axle (which is stiffer). did a few other adjustments (oil weight/volume), and I am much happier with the fork now.
But I do ride 20's (bmx). Sh*ts where its at. If I could only have one bike it would be a bmx.
have fun with your EPS foam
Pike lowers, oil wts, EPS foam?
All of this is to get me confused obviously. I'm going to go smoke some crack, maybe it'll all make sense then...
C. New monitor should be here by the end of the week.
I just had mine done a little over a week ago. Still have a scab. Man, it's an uncomfortable feeling. It feels like they're sticking the needle in your nuts.
75.00 was a steal then.
