Must have glossed over that bit! Bit of a douche move. It’s brave doing that nowadays as you never know when some slow looking old lady is going to burn you off on an e-bike !The later...I had the shits he rolled straight to the front instead of queueing up like any normal decent human.
From what I hear, Bird in Hand lost all their vineyards, so they could certainly do with the help of a few vino chuggers.Pt Elliot, near enough. Would be easy to adorn the table with MV Shiraz, might be nice to send the plonk budget towards the people who could use it most. Pretty hard to go wrong over there
So bro, did you get a doer upper or just a poc, you sound like me when I first started.Finding that the tyres still hold air on the 50 buck pushy you bought off a backpacker last night, 12 hours after you inflated them, just after the dog decided to go for a Sunday run without you, then 5 minutes later, when realising that this is kinda fun, the crank and sprockets are eating your leg and tinkling across the ground ......
I could have put this in LTYL, and meant it too. That was my first ride in 2 years. Blood, sweat, but no tears ....
ETA. Thinking it's Sunday, then remembering it's Monday. Night shift brain.

Man I bought some fixer uppers.
First real one I got was a rm7, it was cool as
Sweet, this was one of my first creations, 125 with super T, painted purple by myselfI bought two. Both missing bits. 3/4 of a Norco 125, and an '04-5 Specialized Rockhopper (v-brake, Deore XT) that is apparently missing a few bolts ..... I went to look at the Norco, for bits, and when I saw the Spec, I took it too. one fiddy for the lot.
The Spec rode really well for the few minutes I was on it. Hopped some gutters, bombed a stormwater drain or two, and it was nice. I think it deserves a second life as my dog walker. With bling .... and maybe Nixons ....
.... I'm enjoying my bike revival already. Don't have one to ride ..... I know exactly what I'm doing ...... scooter build just got relegated.
What was the question again?
Farkin noice!!! Are you my brother from another mother?Sweet, this was one of my first creations, 125 with super T, painted purple by myself

I have got to say it, you can never have too much front travel, a few of the purists will tell you not to go above 20mm more than the original fork. I may be a heretic but you need to beef up any hardtail with a minimum of 6 inches, better for more fun.
Where’s the front brake on that stapler?Sweet, this was one of my first creations, 125 with super T, painted purple by myself

Didn't have the required 2 metre brake line?Where’s the front brake on that stapler?
You've inspired me .... and it's easier/cheaper than my first option .... Nixons 140 on the Norco. SLX crank went on sweet ..... has DJ3's on it @ 120mm stock, so I'm still pure.I have got to say it, you can never have too much front travel, a few of the purists will tell you not to go above 20mm more than the original fork.

At my age teeth aren't a worry
Well, I don't think I ever took it off road, it had a couple runs at a skatey park. No front teeth, sorry, no front brake neededWhere’s the front brake on that stapler?
Oh, now I am inspiring people am I. Must of fucked up somewhere along the way.You've inspired me .... and it's easier/cheaper than my first option .... Nixons 140 on the Norco. SLX crank went on sweet ..... has DJ3's on it @ 120mm stock, so I'm still pure.
(aren't DJ3's shitty?) They're like new, but just rubbish. I think the Axel's that leak like a sieve are even better.
