Oh and also counted all of the loose change I had laying around, came out to $80.

ProFail did a wheelie today and hit a rock.

Is this awesome, Y/N?

I rode to the hardware store on my beater road bike to get some firelighters for the Weber. Is this awesome, Y/N?

Yes, it tastes just like a wallaby :rolleyes:
Ha, nah it tasted like plain ole chicken i guess. A little smoky though, i liked it. Id like to try my Honey Chicken recipe in there.

Oh and Rankin116 - it's secondhand. Fingers crossed ill bring it home this Saturday. Watch this forum!

I dont ride street/dj/park (i wish i did though) - but that bike is hot. Maybe a lot hotter with Shimano DX's and sans e-13

dminor 03-04-08 07:59 AM

White stuff (haha, even the black fork) = good.

C Law 03-04-08 08:01 AM

I love my white brothers.

good stuff

Can anyone give me a quick rundown of the differences between a 'dirt jump' frame and a maybe a xc hard-tail. I check craigslist all the time, seeing what people are selling, and a guy has a Rocky mountain flow frame. I'm not really interested in buying it, just wondering what really sets this apart from a run-of-the-mill hard-tail.

Looking at one built up, the geometry doesn't look all too different. What gives?

dminor 03-04-08 12:55 PM

Slacker head tube angles (sometimes, anyway, as with the Flow's 66.5), shorter seat tube to allow more maneuvering clearance over the top of the frame and much burlier junctures at the head tube, chainstay/seatstay and at the bottom bracket.

The weather been great this week. I've been able to ride every day. It's only home from work on my rigid bike but it's nice country roads for about 6 miles. At least I'm getting a little leg work in. I was riding out from the shop on Wed. and my boss was coming in. He stopped his truck and told me to take the work truck home, I just laughed at him. It was 65 and sunny, no way I was driving home.

born2bahick 03-07-08 10:13 AM

That's awesome, I'm getting snow here!

Cheeto 03-08-08 02:59 PM

We had freezing rain/flurries here in GA...

Heavy winds and really cold today

I'm thinking about buying a new ride. But I can't decide which one the recycles sticker will look better on,the Exterra or the Element.

cryptid01 03-08-08 06:04 PM

An Element with a recycles sticker? You could tell everyone it runs on corn liquor.

never has an Xterra I think.

BFG 03-08-08 07:00 PM

I'd buy WTP's white sedan.

My vote is for the Element over the Xterra.

We got more crazy snow! This year is for the record books. I read that our total accumulative snowfall this year is something like 3.7m! That's 12 feet for you metrically challenged. Remember some pics I posted a while back after our third big, big snow fall. Pffft. In these pics the driveway was already cleared by the snow removal guy but you can see how crazy the snowbanks are.

But the element is really practical inside. No carpet,tough seat covers. My kids are voting for the Exterra as well.
