My son just found this nice Salsa ala Carte (sp?) with decent components for $350! Local bike shop mechanic selling it. He already loves it. Looks like we're sticking with 26" for a few more years.



We just realized, now every road, CX, and mtn bike in our house is steel.

I had the score of the month last weekend. a nearly new 2000 Klein Attitude Comp for $180.



Not sure what I'm going to do with this. I have a pile of trick parts that I can throw on to make a bad ass bike. Right now its the loaner bike for my girlfriend.

Anybody do an bike packing? My roommates and I are tossing around the idea of riding Hwy 1 from Mexico to Canada next year, we are all stoked on the idea but we need touring rigs first.

You might check out Adventure Cycling. They have a lot of resources, maps, guides, people on the phone, an equipment store....

Never mind door nor fender, lol.

Craigslist - "Yakima A1A towers"

Should be cheap.

[edaddy]

anybody have a line on some rain gutter towers for an e30? I have all the rest of the rack, but can't find the towers to hold the rack to the car!:(
pm me if you know please

Built this after selling the E30 a few months ago... Been finished up a riding for about a month:

Anybody do an bike packing? I scored a Surly Straggler frameset and Sram Rival 22 groupset on craigslist, thinking about building it up with racks and bags for bike packing/touring. Although I do really like the new Specialized Awol.

That's a steal, nice bike, only I don't like is the triple crank.

Yeah I think I got a good price.
It has a double crank, 9 at the hub

[M-technik-3]

I paid $500 for it. A new one just like it was $1k at the LBS without shoes, and other accessories.

I saw this on IG last night, very cool. I'd like to step up to something like that next year after I do more riding. Mind sharing what something at the level goes for? Got to setup a budget ;)

Well I thought I was ok with an older bike..... Then this popped up on local CL for a good price.

2009 Cannondale Six, Aluminum Frame, Carbon fork, etc. Came with clip in shoes that fit me pretty good, bottles, bag, bike computer.
