one of us, one of us, one of us.


Wlecome to the fat guy bike squad.

hmmm, FGBS, lol.

 

I'll see if I can find it. It's your's if you want it. My favorite Titec saddle was the old full kevlar cover bontrager profile xc saddle. Nice and grippy. I have one that is beat to hell on my old redline right now.

 

Yeah, I'll have to see if I can make it out for one of the rides. You'll have to go slow for my out of shape wheezing ***.

 

Dude, we're just gonna be on our own ride anyways, I'm not built to go [b]up[/] hills.

I haven't made it out with the guys yet, will be better when I'm back up in Sac (less than two months, yay) and have more motivation.

 

<3

I know what one you're talking about, those were sweet

What really sucks is that I built this new bike as a big BMX bike............and now I want to rebuild my BMX bike too, lol.

 

I'm pricing out building up a new bike and it's quickly running into the $3500 area...

 

Yeah, I just stopped counting on mine, I got a bunch of the stuff uber-cheap though, so I'm still <5-600 on it, which is pocket change on bikes. I ended up getting it together for about the retail cost of the frame and bar/stem, Ebay and Pricepoint FTW.

Whenever I price out something FS that's built for someone my size with retail price on components, I end up north of 3k. I need to ride a lot more before I can justify that........heh.

 

I could drop $800 without the XTR wheelset with the scandium rims.

 

What style of riding are you building towards?

 

 

Nothing really. I just want a new bike.

I will most likely be doing xc and also maybe some bike path stuff with my daughter in the trailer. I really have been wanting another full suspension bike for like 12 years now.

me wants Specialized Epic Marathon frame...

 

I love my Epic. The Epic marathon would have been cool but I don't have the stomach to drop ~$4k on a bike .

 

so you did $3k instead.


stronger stomach than me.

 

Well, the bike, out the door, was only $2400. Adding up the accessories I've bought over the last 6 weeks: shoes, edge 305, shorts and jersey and xtr cassette, yeah I'm around $3k.

 

The Epic frame is $1700.

I miss my Outland VPP.
