Voltron Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 I beg your pardon! This vehicle is no kind of van. It is a sporty sport utility vehicle. Especially the GT! 1 2 3 Quote

HiWire Posted May 21 Report Posted May 21 (edited) I think he was very honest about the goals and contributions from corporate donors - it's a project viewers wanted and we viewers are curious about the results, which are somewhat predictable. I'm sure the Walmart bike's (Ozark Trail Ridge) sales will spike as word spreads - I think a good value deserves to be shared around. A better frame, etc. would result in a better bike, but that is super obvious. 🚴♂️ Edited May 21 by HiWire Quote
MexicanDragon Posted May 21 Report Posted May 21 He's done upgrades on things for years, including reasonable upgrades on the Ozark Trail hardtail a couple years ago. Started with intro: Then the Ozark Trail Ridge Pro Max Ultra... Studio: 1 Quote
n_maher Posted May 23 Report Posted May 23 Infecting the next generation. Andrew's new ride is a leftover Specialized Fuse Sport. Specialized stopped making the bike in 2022 but had made so many that dealers still had them and they were blowing them out. Original MSRP $2400, paid $999. Bought one for Lily two years ago for $1600 and thought that was a screaming deal. Can't wait to get him out on the trails if it would ever stop raining around here. 6 Quote
n_maher Posted June 26 Report Posted June 26 In the sprit of getting dirty I decided to list the Tarmac for sale and jump on this deal: It's a 2022 Cervelo Aspero 5 and the top of the line model at that. MSRP $10,500, I paid about 40c on the $ for it and the owner admitted that he bought it and essentially never rode it - condition backs that up. It also came with a like new Garmin head unit and tail light/radar setup which is pretty sweet. When I recently learned that they completed a ~9mi section of rail trail that can become ~50% of my morning commute I decided it was time to dive into the deep end. The color is something like "purple sunset" (cheers to you, Dusty) and is straight up wild. We'll see how the new modified commute goes tomorrow. 9 Quote
MexicanDragon Posted June 26 Report Posted June 26 Sweet!!! When does the vintage ggarmin go up for sale? I was using my iphone then buddy gave me a Galaxy Fold 5. Didn't really consider the "ooops, I don't have a bike computer" thing until I was getting ready for a ride after I sold my iPhone. 1 Quote

It's actually hugely helpful to have both a gravel and road computer. And the Garmin radar system is actually really cool. I'll probably add a second taillight to the mix for the pure road bike. 1 1 Quote
MexicanDragon Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Totally. @cetoole has a 1030 with the Varia. Went R+L at first, but later went with the camera version. Definitely nice to have! Congrat again; that's so hot. Oh, how was the commute? 1 Quote
TMoney Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago Bike newbie here. I’m going to go pick up a helmet this weekend. Is there anything I should know/look out for? I mostly plan on riding on the road and maybe light trails. Bike will come later. I want to use the bike share in town for a bit to make sure I’m committed before opening the wallet for something nice. Quote
