Don't forget about a 650b Dragon DP, free shipping if you preorder. Definitely going to be some off-season deals. See if you can look at a deal on a Giant XTC Composite 0 (carbon fibre + X0/X9) or Composite 1. If you'e going hardtail, you know you want Ti or CF. Oh, don't forget about Lynskey if you're looking at Ti. They're doing 650b now... but you pay for it. I had a buddy pick up a killer Lynskey for 2700$ with just a few hundred miles on it a few weeks ago on CL. **BRENT**

What about Windows Phone? He works for M$ (sorta) now. **BRENT**

He keeps looking for your M3. **BRENT**

You gotta scratch a new bike. It's a rite of passage. FWIW, I still have a couple light scars on my arm and possibly a thorn embedded in my lip re: September's NJ Biscuit Boy Bush Battle. It's amazing how quickly "falling properly" comes back. Nate, I'm really super excited for you, and can't wait to see your adventures for next year. **BRENT**

http://www.amazon.com/Hi-Develop-Tethering-widget/dp/B004UI4RGG I used to use that. I swapped my 5GB + tether plan for unlimited with no (legit) tether, and saved 5$, so I'm not using it now, but it's a widget you can just tap and it should cut it on or off. Do you reboot the phone ever? You should at least once a week, if not every 2-3 days. Let us know. **BRENT**

Nate, that rocks! I'm interested to see how you're going to like it when you get a Trigger next year too Aren't you tired of that silly road riding now? **BRENT**

This made me think of a Kindle/Audible deal going on a month or two ago, and I went to look to see if it was still around. I came across this: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=2245146011 Free Classics and pre-1923 OOP books. For now, I just found 10, instead of the 27 that were there, but here you can do free kindle + free audible versions, with "Whispersync for Voice", which will save your place between the audiobook and the text. It's kinda neat. http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/?_encoding=UTF8&%2F%3Ftag=ranme-20&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&qid=1346994417&rh=n%3A133140011%2Cn%3A!2334093011%2Cn%3A!2334124011%2Cn%3A5744819011%2Cn%3A5744839011&tag=audiob00-20 **BRENT**

I think I'd probably start around a 54, sigh. Looks like a killer deal. V, just buy it anyways. I'm sure it'll go quick. Nate, congrat! I'm sure you'll get the suspension dialed in soon enough. Hope you're going to get a few rides in this season. Mike, keep the road bike, buy a dual suspension mtn bike. You're going to bitch about not having dual suspension, so you may as well do that. **BRENT**

Congrat, Mike, on a bunch of years with the same person putting up with you by choice! **BRENT**

Mike, that's hot. **BRENT**

Nice, Nate! Let us know how the ride today is! Talk to the shop about setting up the suspension while you're there, too. @DP, reading material http://www.bicycling.com/mountainbikecom/bikes-gear/reviewed-275-mountain-bikes-all-trails **BRENT**

Nice Nate! Deepak, <SMH> **BRENT**

**BRENT**

VA has same day registration, no? **BRENT**

Crap, time to go bike shopping!!! **BRENT**

I don't believe you **BRENT**

You beat me to posting Rad? How do you know of such things? **BRENT**

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i87GJE_lP4 Rad. The entire movie. The best movie of all time, perhaps. You're welcome. **BRENT**

He's not poor, he can afford 100$ for earphones!!! Also, he's a comp sci major who can't use google or forum searches... **BRENT**

OK, that has the Flobots. That's awesome! Xavier used to sing "No Handlebars" (just those lyrics) back when it came out. He was 2.5-3 at that time, so it as UBER cute! **BRENT**

So there's no getting the old thread back? **BRENT**

OP is in chat. DQ and I are having a nice chat with him. First thing he did in chat was ask for a MOD since he can't figure out why he can't post, even in HIS OWN THREAD! I know, right? Dan, deepak, n8, dinni, V, would someome please help this kid out? Oh, just heard he posted this same thing to 5 other forums. **BRENT**
