What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[beeb]

wait, what? @beeb sold another Ripmo?

Afraid so mate, it (I hope but don't want to actually check) funded my new bike.

I found it was overkill for my riding. Where it could go flat out I couldn't. @hifiandmtb was fairly keen and may have mentioned that interest once or twice, or...

And hifi get those XC flat bars off the ol' beastie and get some risers on it A.S.AP!

PS: I think the polished silver anno theme will look horn AF.

Big day out. There were a few guys heading out to our track, and I wanted to try a few things out before I headed down to the Otway Odyssey next month. So why not both?

My bike my build you can all get fucked

 

[hifiandmtb]

Polished? Nah I think your Ripmo needs to be decked out with the new Chris King Matte Bourbon colour @hifiandmtb

Sounds cheap.

Took the beautiful girlfriend for a ride on a new track. She moaned the whole climb, which she walked 80% off then did a really good job on the decent. Hit a few of the small drops and did an excellent job of the rough bits and was very proud of her.
Then bought a giant talon for the step-son on the way home. Paid $200 which is more than i like but will hopefully make his riding easier, especially once we replace the stem.

Finally got off my lazy arse and made the Capra tubeless. Took all of 15 minutes but I've been putting it off for 3 months...

If you want to buy something from @beeb you need to start riding with the in crowd...

you were royally rodgered on the price yes?

 

[fatboyonabike]

picked up my $20 frame off Fleabay, and started the pump track bike build .....good score!

 

[beeb]

Obviously you'll never get full retail value on the used market, so a not insubstantial sum of money was lost for me to buy new and sell used - but I'd say the price was agreeable for both parties. It's pretty much as new so it should be a good bike for him for years to come.

Yep, very happy with how everything went today. Tried out some home brewed carb drink and it worked beautifully.

We don't have the hills, but we do have RE.LENT.LESS pedalling. This should be a blast

Seeing as we seem to like the same shit i need a full list of your possessions so I can stake my claims!

 

[hifiandmtb]

Yeah man, I paid over new retail just to own a piece of @beeb.

Worth it but, if only for the IG points.

I've already worked out how this works, you are late to the party

My first real mtb right there! great bike, I rode that bloody thing everywhere. Most notably to 4th place interschools 4X in threadbo. Did a few state DH races too. love it!

That's also the Kona Cowan top end frame from a few years prior. the OG stuffs had vertical drop outs, not the sliding ones on this. And no tabs for a giro

Started project Cargo Bike with @spinner

I love it. Ear plugs in. Hand in path of grinder. Protection mount removed. Safe as fuck.
