Political correctness will be the demise of the west.

my beef with Canada is its just too far north. A very small percentage of the country is a reasonable climate.

This rain and endless cloud is brutal. If I lived on the prairie the cold would drive me nuts. Cascadia is the dream. Countries should be north-south strips.

Bring back the totem!

I've said this for years. Now is a great time for FR bikes to make a come back as tech makes them so much lighter than back in teh day.

Uninformed hipsters love to buy 800k condos. RE only goes up!

You nsmb guys are gonna love this :rolleyes:

Bought a used crack n fail rush for dirt cheap as a second/wife XC bike, threw on my 27.5 wheels and dropper post.

The stock 69 degree head angle is lame, I happened to have a cane creek angleset sitting in my parts bin so I bought a project 321 1/1/8 steer tube.

-1 degree bottom cup and a -1 degree top cup should make the bike around 67 right now. Cool!

Oh and a 45mm stem. Rush is looong a large has a reach of 460mm.

13" bb height, 67 HA, 74 SA, 460mm reach, 650b, 110mm travel. Not bad for $350 bux + parts I had

455mm reach huh? How tall are u?

If you want to move to a new country you HAVE to buy real estate.

Was it Denmark or some country that you need to be a taxpayer for 3 years before being eligible to buy RE.

With a potential 300k savings I'm sure Mr Foreign buyer will find a way to acquire the 'work permit' paperwork to buy the house and avoid the tax.

What a joke. This place is doomed.

Right now my wife and I pay, what, $60,000 a year in income taxes taken off our paychecks….Maybe even more.

And the prop tax on a west van house is what, 8k?

No comparison.

Come buy our prime real estate and displace locals!
Pay no income taxes in Canada!
Have your kids enjoy our free education system!
Have your elderly parents who've never payed a dime to Canada sponge off our free medical system!

repeat x 500,000 times.

we the west bought all this cheap stuff which polluted china and created all them millionaires and billionaires who gotta spend the money somewhere

its all our fault

YUP! But think of the good deals you had while you shopped in wal mart. Cheap Plastic shit.

Not trying to be a dick here but Chinese economy is a scourge on earth. Horrendous human rights violations, Mass amounts of capital outflows by the 1% disrupting other countries, lax environmental regulations, profit at all cost, zero copyright enforcement, shitty ass drivers, no fucks given period. They kinda remind me of these guys:

^^ Boom. Ultimate free-ride bike. Free ride is back baby…. now 10lbs lighter.

Chinese are fucking up new zealand too

Increasingly, not New Zealanders. Foreign investment in Auckland has boomed under the National party government (this is not confined to Auckland). According to Core Logic in 2012, 37% of buyers were investors. Today that proportion is nearly 50%, a significant number of whom are Chinese.

wife bought tix today. $155 each all-in for front row………..of the upper deck, center ice.
