Lynskey welds do look better to me

The LS I have is 2009, T2 geo.

    What's in da baaaahhhhhxxxxx? Some parts. Darker blue than we thought. Happiest kid in the world in this moment. **BRENT**

  • Liked the Turbo Vado Super Light so much, I bought another one in Michigan. Same silver and black. We couldn't find Claire an SL in Northern Michigan or online so we got her the  regular Turbo Vado 5.

  • I bought an e-bike. Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 Super Light 2022 edition. Claire got a 4.0 step-through.

Did a super short neighborhood ride on the Lynskey.  Not really any closer to the DeSalvo ride I have been missing than the Litespeed.  Maybe a tiny bit better but not enough to really notice.

 

 

Get a DeSalvo again?

I don't even know what that is, but it seems logical.

That is a good thought. But the right answer is buy a Firefly that is much nicer than the DeSalvo for a lot more money. Problem solved.

I should have known nothing worthwhile will ever come out of TN.

It is either a serial killer or a patsy, depending on which camp you fall into.

With the exception of Dolly Pardon of course.

Trying to decide if either Chattanooga bike is a keeper. I think a stem change would help with the Lynskey as it is quite a bit longer and flipped compared to the Litespeed. Still fairly aggressive for their non-aggressive model. I think I might keep the Litespeed as a flat pedal ride to breakfast bike and get rid of the Lynskey at this point.

If you feel they don't "call to you" to go out for a ride... then don't keep them. Life, and health, are too short to be riding halfway lovingly [emoji7]

It's not an easy life being Brent's stunt double.

Loaner Jones bike the shop dropped off for me to use while they work on finishing mine.

Riding on 3 inch tires set up tubeless with low air kind of feels like riding a full suspension bike on the street.

Moon lander effect!

 

Also, I don't know if you remember that time we went mountain biking in north Potomac, there was a group of guys on Jones. Remember the guys on the unicycles going up the trail?? Ha ha

I remember the Unicycles. Those guys were talented.

This is not something you see everyday. Saint DH MTB flats on an Ultegra crank arm.

Yep, those are rather practical if you just want to ride in any shoe. I ran something similar on my Trek 500 in the last year or so. Since switched back to eggbeater (also MTB). I had enough of walking on cleats in the '80's, thanks. :)

  • 2 weeks later...

After 4500km this year I need to replace chain (Ultegra) and the front brake disc (XTR).

I ordered a Dura Ace chain and this: 

shimano-dura-ace-9170-road-disc-brake-ro

 

A friend said me that Dura Ace chain is not as strong as an Ultegra but I would like to test it. I usually change the chain between 4000-5000 kms.

 

 

I went to go "ride street" with a buddy yesterday. By "ride street" I mean I was going to go watch him jump stuff and ride around the city.

I got about 2/10ths of a mile before this.

I thought it was just a scratch, but a day later I realize it probably wasn't wise to go ride another 8-10 miles or so around town.

But, installed the new carbon bar.

No video of me crashing, but I did get video of me doing something I could have crashed badly on. Sadly I made it. Sorry, guys, I failed you.
