To fund Dave Turner's and Lance Canfield's Ferraris, hookers and blow.

 

[jstuhlman]

i'll take 2 of those 3

 

[jackalope]

Totally with ya, Ferraris get terrible gas mileage and have piss poor towing capacity.

As for the OP, the Monkey is on it!

Shooting for Carbon. Thanks for the find though.

Methinks we have a clue to your original inquiry...

1. Complains bikes are expensive.
2. Get shown a reasonably priced bike.
3. Demand frames only in the most expensive material.

ALSO LOGIC.

This.
Just like healthcare is jacked up by malpractice claims.

Al is cheap, back surgery is not. Looking for a nice in between which is C. I'm still a cheap bastard when it comes down to it.

Bikes are getting expensive. Its getting harder for me to get nice birthday, christmas and spousal gifts every day! How's a guy in his 30s supposed to get by in this day in age????

I know you're not wanting Big-3... but just get a used Giant at a reasonable price. Take the hit to your ego.

Have moar kids. No time to ride. PROBLEM SOLVED!

I don't have an ego. I'm just an asshole.

So just take the hit to your asshole...

Wait. That doesn't sound right.

If the difference between Al and carbon means back surgery, I think you have bigger issues.

 

[jackalope]

For real. I think the most cost effective solution is getting a charger damper for his spine.

Damn him to hell!

I am really confused. He is trying to tell us carbon is softer?

Just get a frame that can run 28c tires and run them with some lower air pressure. You can get seatposts that will help too.

sandwich fuck you and your bad spelling. go ride your 29er with your fanny pack and socks and sandals

Actually, I think what he's really looking for is a snow bike...never another lumbar jostle with 8" of puffy balloon tire damping.

 

[stevew]

it's a shame bcd was making carbon bike before it was cool....

 

[stevew]

Have moar kids. No time to ride. PROBLEM SOLVED!

it's funny your job holds you back more than your kids.....

 

[DaveW]

I don't have an ego. I'm just an asshole.

And a whiner.

 

[HardtailHack]

Sounds like you are a hipster in denial and want a 70 or 80's Cr-Mo frame.

Or you could get something like a flexy post, I put one on my current hardtail as 31.6mm posts are terrible on your spine.
Syntace P6 HiFlex is magic but cost 25% of your budget.

 

[stoney]

Oh ebay how I hate thee. $700 impulse buy later... 61cm LOOK 585 Ultra is inbound. Going to get it built and fitted asap so I can start logging mileage.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Buy it now.

 

[jstuhlman]

is this thread about running?

 

[DaveW]

is this thread about running?

No it's a thread about being a Mmike.

Happy Birthday Sstoney!

 

[stoney]

No. Riding bikes with skinny tires uphill with shaved legs.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Why do the hills shave their legs?

 

[jdcamb]

Why do the hills shave their legs?

Bad Grades?

 

[DaveW]

To accentuate their road rash?

 

[jdcamb]

Taxes on Robots are quite high?

 

[CBJ]

Nice bike and good price.

 

[stoney]

Just spent the last two hours breaking down the wookie bike and building the LOOK. I need to get a post, once I figure out whether I need a straight or setback. Otherwise, ready to rock and roll.

 

[Adventurous]

So how do you like it?

I've been thinking of picking up a citrus juicer myself and just noticed you had a Kitchen Aid one.

For just a second I thought someone made a road bike called the "juicer". I am disappoint.

I just built it up last night, so no idea.

 

[MikeD]

Why are bikes so god damned expensive?

I'm trying to avoid the big-3 if possible, just because elitist

Shooting for Carbon.

It is a compelling question indeed.

You built the juicer? Nice work.
