Giant's fine. And I'd grab whatever your cousin can get you through the LBS since it will make any future issue a breeze to resolve.

Find a warehouse with a bathroom and a space to cook/eat and you're set. I sold a car to a guy in the Atlanta area 6-7 years ago and he had some crazy nice cars in a warehouse with a small plane he owned. Didn't own a house or any other property, just space for cars and planes. Shockingly, he wasn't single.

I like the drop on that bike

Carbon wheels in general are amazing. I do miss my Williams Cycling wheels and may eventually spring for a set. Doing Mt Lemmon on some carbon wheels is a blast.

SRAM rocks for all things road (yes, including the hydraulic brakes now that they've worked out the kinks) but off-road is another story. I've had my front brake replaced under warranty on my Salsa and the rear just rebuilt last week. Shifting is fine though.
-
I could not agree more. On my 3rd set, my only comment is that the wear can be fairly quick depending on driving style.
-
Yeah, I miss it. Shame the guy I sold it to took such poor care of it. Last I saw it (Ebay), it was a mess.

I like my rocky mounts. I'm getting ready to pull mine to paint them body color, but honestly 9 years of use they still look excellent. http://www.rockymounts.com/category_s/194.htm

Those floors are the bomb! We re-did ours in the house in KY and loved them. Looks really good, looking fwd to updates on this.

Nice bikes. Now go break them in on a trail!
-
From my experience, they were identical. But I haven't tried in Hungary.

You'll have to excuse Travis, he doesn't know how to read well. I would buy one on Ebay. It will need to be unlocked (an owner would request it from their carrier prior to selling it) and would work overseas. I've done it before, both the unlocking and being the mule. It's a simple thing: just buy them unlocked.

Because race car. I have a bucket full of AN fittings I've accumulated from Cobras and other export cars. One day I'll get around to labeling them and selling them. I'll probably pay off my mortgage that way.

$10K, man that's about 3 times more than I would ever spend on a bike.
-
CJ used to have them in stock. yother.com or give him a call. Edit: CJ doesn't show them. Have you contacted Josh K ?
-
Yes, he does and his vids are usually good and fun to watch.

Dramatic or loaded with dishonest people ? Her brother is serving a suspension for EPO use and that same brother + their father is serving time for stealing high end exotic birds in a pet store a year ago. She's a crook, from a family of crooks and as Wiggo and others have said: she should be banned from the sport altogether.

Here is the bike, it's actually Santa Cruz and not Salsa. It's beautiful but the price tag is ugly. http://www.singletracks.com/blog/mtb-gear/breaking-news-santa-cruz-announces-new-hightower-27-529er/
-
Have you seen the latest, greatest trend ? Mix and mtach ? I think Salsa just released a bike with a 27.5/29 mix and others have done it more or less officially as well. I counted 11 bikes in this house today, no way I'm adding more to the madness (I own/ride 3 of them)
-
I know of at least 3 local pros who race on 29'ers. They're excellent for the terrain here. They take more work to fling in a corner but given the right rider, they're as good as a 27.5+ I've yet to see you put together an ugly bike. I love it, even the top tube mounted pump looks classy on it and I'm usually not a fan.

You know it won't go any faster if it's clean, right ? Some goober told me last week that waxing my road bike was a genius idea: it would go faster by reducing drag. It makes no difference when you're doing 25-30 mph.
