Hey Proprod, I would encourage you to buy ALL your gear on the internet. Means you wont come into my store, waste my time, and then not buy anything. If you don't like bike shops, don't go into them. Get a clue mate. Nobody is getting stinking rich working in or owning a bike shop.

Well duh...Thats exactly what they want to do. Are you trying to say building illegal trails in this way helps trail advocacy?? are you insane?? Yes many current legal trails originally were one illegal trails, at the same time, many were not. In order to gain access to rails we need viewed by...

Has anyone even seen somebody hit the thing yet? The penalty for failure is HUGE. Not only that but with the amount of vertical and the height in the takeoff, its going to be like shooting a basketball through a hoop. Your speed has to be dead on or your going to come up short or over clear...

Great to see that track being ridden. I cleaned up a drop onto the fire road in a while back but never made it back again to ride it. Last time I was there the whole place looked like it wasn't getting much use. There's so much potential in there I hope it gets more attention. Strong word of...

Unfortunately you cant really "take it down" except maybe with a crane and a flatbed.

I dont think there is a problem with Huge stunts either. I have a problem with excessive amounts of construction and natural destruction in an area which already gains lots of negative attention. Build huge stunts but use the land scape better.

This is a message to whoever has placed the most recent steel framed jumps on the FR/DH track at Oxford Falls. Please stop this method of building. Please. It will do us no favors. You are going to ruin the existing trails for everyone else who uses them on a regular basis. I don’t care if you...

Warranty is only granted on products if they have been purchased from an authorised dealer. Many online suppliers are not authorised so although its a SRAM/Shimano Product, it may not receive warranty. I dont know how much longer it will last. Many manufactures to not want their products...

Here is something I forgot to address but wanted to. Of course I wont send them away and your right. You do make money from the sale. I am only making a general point that I will place my priority my loyal customers. The internet debate is a tricky one as If I were on the other end, I would end...

This is good stuff. A few notes. I know I'm coming across quite harsh and blunt. Just a technique I'm using to get a point across. And I am certainly not abrasive with customers. People consistently come back to me because I always exceed the service expectations of those walking through my...

Heres some advice from a recent post of mine. I am posting a link here as a few posts as it is related to a number of posts in this thread and is something any new bike buyer should know. http://www.farkin.net/forums/showthread.php?t=136562

And in response to the comment about the LBS competing with internet sales. There are a number of ways in which the internet will never be able to compete with bike shops. 1) Bikes shops are people. The internet shops are not. You cant ask questions. you cant be sure you are buying the right...

b_s is awesome

"It's a common practice in all sorts of industries when spending large amounts of $$$, to ask for a bit of special consideration. Hell if I walked into a shop with 4k burning a hole in my pocket and they said "there's the sticker price and if you don't like it, there's the door." I'd walk out...

"I just purchased two Specialised Epic models and in general I expect to bargain down 20% off recommended retail. Both these bikes were $3500 plus retail." This is something that was posted in another thread that just got to me and I had to comment. First, If you bargain to get 20% off the...
