Noooo! Don't do that.

I like biking now than shooting, but I still wouldn't trade my AR's and my Saiga-12.

It is better to have 'em.....for when they come.....

Hey Stickman!

You're smart dude! You knew all along didn't you?


That was post #13. That's like 90 posts ago! We've all wasted so much time and energy on this guy!

Well, for now on, you're the man, Stickman! :thumb:

haha, well i was going to sell the one i have, and i was going to build another one when i had some more cash flow. (i just went with the basic Bravo company gov profile upper not hammer forged, and like a dumbass i didn't order the Hammer Forged Daniel Defense one from smartgunner that was like $20 cheaper).

then would have bought a mosseburg 500 for a home defense/occasional trap shooting (okay its a friend throwing clays from the back of a pickup truck, not really shooting trap)

and build a decent bike. but yeah i don't know. i'd love to get into this stuff but im not having the best of luck here.

Yeah, but you gotta admit the bit about repairing the welds on the frame was kinda inspired.

Maybe because you are over thinking this stuff.

I have a few decent bikes now, but I started with a DiamondBack Hybrid I got as a gift. I installed fenders and Trekking bars, bungee'd a tennis bag on the rack and away I went commuting.
Its no high end bike by anyone's standard, but to this day I still yet to encounter any problems with it.

Find a decent rigid fork MTB/Hybrid in CL and start commuting already. Replace parts as needed.

Good luck and enjoy!

$20 per week is way high for maintenance. Could spend that at first I guess, getting lock, lights, spare tubes, patch kit, spare tire, tools....

I spend about $20 per quarter. I ride on $10 tires tho, sometimes splurge and get $20 tires.

Now 5 pages, but it's like a "snipe hunt". You know what's happening but play along anyway! Or watching Freddie Kruger. :D

if you can save $20/week then wait til you have an extra $100-$160 to spend on your bike up front.

You never know, the guy might actually get a bike and start having as mush fun as all us fools :)
