The duties are what frighten me most.... you pay for the frame, wait forever(seemingly) and then bang 80bucks for duties, now, or you don't get your frame. I actually feel for the IRO dealers that have been helping Tony all these years, that have basically been frozen out of this whole thing. I know it's a net thing, but, you know...... I'd hate to be selling IRO's and then having the manufacturer under cut me, even if it is a special. .02$ With the conversion and the can/us duties the "dealness" fades quickly.
TO THE FUN STUFF. Yea the slop was perfect as it wasn't turning into slush right away but stayed frozen and maintained it's snow-ness, so out and about last night. Bombing Greenwood in the snow lane(curb) was hairy and hella fun, i got sideways and wiggly at speed, I thought for sure I was going down but I touched foot and got control again.....

Being SS I can pause.... I still don't know how you guys do fixed downhill.
Welcome 2wheelsgood, You'll find some pages we all go a little A.D.D. away from cycling, but it invariably returns.
