Ya the RAAW Madonna is a want on my list . Weird they won,t ship to NA , they claim liability reasons . MTB is a dangerous sport to begin with .

Swarf cycles makes the same statement on their website. Plenty of small UK brands ship frames internationally, so seems a wierd policy. But I guess I'm not a lawyer...

It’s because of the insurance that they are either required to hold or believe they should hold. It look like they’ve decided that it’s not worth it to them - so they won’t ship to Canada or US. They probably sell all they can make anyways

I've been gone for some time and I'm pretty damn sad about what you all have allowed the shore to become. I just had a conversation today with another old guy about how lucky we were to be part of the good old days....

How so? I’m someone who came here just a few years ago and am happy with how much riding there is, and how accommodating land owners have been. Aside from the Darkside, I don’t know of any places where riding is prohibited outright. I think that speaks volumes right there. Maybe it’s not the Wild West that it was but consider what it could have become - look at Marin county.

Improved signage on Seymour is a good idea for more reasons than just preventing collisions between hikers and bikers.

Shortly after I moved here and before I got to know the trails, I and my son (and dog) were somewhat lost in 3degree pouring rain less than 30minutes before sunset. We weren't lost in the sense of North Shore Rescue, but we were at the end of our ride, really tired, darkness was on its way quickly and we were frozen, in terrible visibility and got turned around in the wrong direction. We figured it out just in time to get out, but better signs are one of the things that could have prevented it. We were just one additional wrong turn away from being in a mess and we weren't even far in the woods!

Yeah I think the appropriate action is to politely discuss unsafe situations and that was probably one of them.

I’m sure they didn’t know. I sure wouldn’t hike up JD with my doggo

Now seeing Banshee Spitfires and Darksides on Jensen for cheap too. $3300 for a GX Darkside with Boxxer and Vivid!

That's a smoking deal!

Yup, its the evolution of the big box store. Mom and pops struggled when they moved in. They complained and said "support a local business". Turns out that for many things a store front, any store front, isn't even necessary.

But I do feel that its very offside to go to a store, try stuff on for sizing and order online. People should not do that.

The creepy experience of watching (and feeling) 1.5inch pins being removed from my finger is behind me, but Im still off the bike it seems for a couple weeks, maybe a few weeks, as the finger is still too unstable to ride with (even splinted).

The rest of my body is a mess but this finger will be perfect when its done!

Oh well.

Impossible to shut down loamers!

They’ve also got GX Eagle Runes with Pikes and Monarchs for C$3300

Doesn't really fit this thread but Jensen blowing out Rune's for 53% off. GX Eagle with Pike and Monarch for $3300, pre ship and duty, blah blah blah. Sweet deal!
