Amazing weather in VA today. Currently 61 degrees and sunny. Trails were a little muddy in spots, but I couldn't resist a ride.

Got my bike back today. Doesn't really look much different other than there are no welds. I put 3M protective tape on the swing arm but haven't gotten a pic yet.

Nice! Bronco. Kicked myself in the ass for not going for the carbon version on my Camber. The store had a year old carbon Camber with a way better spec/carbon wheels for $1000 more. On a carbon Epic now though so all is good. The climbs are gonna be way better for you now. Wheels next?

 

[ped453]

had some free time today, I figure I'll make my own top cap and I'm a cheap bastard and only buys the cheapo headset with plastic cap.lol






next on my list is a bashguard, I'm not sure what material to use so it's light enough.

Got a decent pic of my bike with the protective film on it. There are some bubbles but I don't really care about them. As long as it prevents scratches and cable rub I'm happy. Also used the stuff on my forks after I took a couple of stickers off.

Picked up some Race Face Turbine cranks for my single speed. It's the last part left that came from my Nashbike. So, I'm going to rebuild the Nashbike and give it to my brother in law for his 40th birthday.

 

[EeePee]

give it to my bro for his 40th birthday.

Got my address, or you need it?

 

[OTHGbronco82]

I'm going to be selling my single speed so I can get a dropper. If anyone's interested PM me.

Picked up a very lightly used 2013 Giant reign today.
Guy only rode it 3 times. Still had the nipples on the tires.

Nice, congrats!!

I get my check thursday so, there's a KS LEV TI 150mm in my future.:mrgreen:

 

[lunatick]

I put a set of Avid elixr trail 7 four piston brakes on my bike the other day
Super strong ,but not much modulation:shock:
As a result my 1st stoppie ended in a somersault:roll:

 

[OTHGbronco82]

Well, I sold my single speed. I'm just waiting on the bike shop to get a box so I can pack it up. Now I can get a dropper and a drive line for my motorcycle sooner.
