Printed. They are from Handup. Earlier I couldn't find them on their website but they are there now - just not in that print. They are nice for days that are a little on the cool side.

I had a purple anodized Demo 7 that was a design sample and came directly from Specialized. It was a size medium and too small for me by any standard, but I loved it! Such a great handling bike by every measure. It ended up in Dan Gronross' hands and to my knowledge the frame hangs in his home. I even found a photo of her dirty. I wouldn't say I regret selling her, but I miss her. As well as my 26" Enduro S-Works that I built with solid components to 26.5 lbs. You can just barely make out my first ever bike in the background of this shot, behind my Rocky road bike (no regrets). It has solid tires and was a fixie before they were cool and seemed to have been stuck together by a plumber, but it is literally the first bike I ever pedalled. I use the present tense because I still have that one!

Behold the Purple Princess

LOL! Not only that, Northern California (not the Bay area, everything further north which is generally full Trumpville) would like to become The State of Jefferson with southern Oregon. They are a different breed entirely for the most part.

Why couldn't ski resorts simply adjust their opening schedules as they do in the spring?

Great advice Shinook. Thanks for sharing it with us.

No issues for me and I have very skinny ankles. I'm not sure how deep my ankles are though!

Great questions for Jeff - aside from the Torque specs. I just double checked those and they appear accurate based on this link.

I would say that would be no problem.

It was a large. It was a good fit.

I believe MEC will be carrying the MCR. The Switch is about 140 grams heavier than the MCR (980g)  jand the Super about 40 (880).

I finally had a response from DNV but it was not definitive. This completely contradicts what the District has told other stakeholders - and this is firsthand. We'll see if I get a reply after I pointed that out. I don't think District employees are authorized to lie to the public or 'journalists.'

I have heard from a firsthand source (no hearsay this time) that the DNV plans to decommission all teeter totters - which I suppose means all of them on land managed by DNV. I'm hoping to create a backlash against this silly proposal before it goes ahead.

I can think of only two on Fromme right now (Ladies and Pipeline) and one on Boogieman on Seymour.

Are there some I'm forgetting or unaware of?

Please feel free to start spreading the word about this right now though. Time may be short.

Thanks

Bumbag FTW!

Perfect use of raw dogged. Although I always wear gloves to put on reluctant rubbers.

I'm going to try the Crankbrothers Highline 170 on my next bike. It's absolutely not cheap but if Andrew likes it I'm intrigued.

I already sold my dh bike but...

This

is everything.

Nice one! I keep having epiphanies as well. I just had a few about flats vs. clipless, including how it affects suspension set up. 

My bar set up philosophy has always been to set the bars so the grip portion is parallel to the ground.  It sounds like you are close to that now.

The biggest difference in the new Yetis (beside the water bottle!) is reach. The new large is 480.2 while the 5.5 was 442. That's huge and very positive. I also appreciate the shorter seat mast. Some are complaining about the squashed head tube but that's not a big issue for me. I already loved the 5.5 despite its foibles so I'm pretty excited about the SB 150. And whatever else might be just around the corner... said the guy who doesn't know anything.

Haha. Not  so much. More oil volume maybe and better cooling but my DPX2 is not a large air volume shock while it's clearly a piggyback.

I'm working on a little something and I'd like some input please.

Here on the Shore we have trails like Severed Dick, Cunt Buster... I can't think of any others right now, but elsewhere things get a little more salacious.

Please give me watcha got! Thanks
