What’s olds new.

Ironically I worked for 2 years and saved up enough to buy the frame, fork, bars(Mike Dominguez not pictured), and some Skyway mags(not pictured but still have everything), then I started skating about 6 months later after going to a Curb Dogs demo at the local bike shop.

Thats sick. Mix of old school and new? I wish the top tubes on my old bmx's were longer, after riding my newer S&M's I can't stand the old ones anymore.

I need to sell my Crust. Shit's tight right now and it's the least utilitarian bike I have so it can go. Selling a bike on Craigslist is a fucking nightmare though, especially a custom one that's $$$$. I might just take the hit and see what a reseller would give me, like the pro's closet.

TPC is not going to give you the amount of what it can actually go for, but they will give it to you quickly.

If you have the time I would try another option. basically save TPC for a last resort if you need money in a day or two. They undercut my homie for a nice hardtail frameset by so much, it was almost an insult. But that is their business model I guess.

Yea I got a quote from them and was insulted. Not even 1/3 of what I could get.

That’s kind of a bummer to hear. I can’t stand my LBS, so I go to one half an hour a way for repairs I can’t handle, but parts are usually so marked up at a LBS. I’ve bought a lot of gear from TPC just because they seemed alright and had good prices. I bought a couple of swift bags from them for like half off around the holidays too.

i had a mongoose decade BMX that color when I was a kid.  i wish i had appreciated it more, it was a cool bike.  the Fairdale looks really fun

anyone here into indoor training?  i just picked up a used Kinetic trainer for my Felt road bike, and have been riding on Zwift the last couple days.  I haven't ridden the road bike in a while (shitty, dangerous roads here), but I'm having a lot of fun riding on Zwift in my spare room.  already decided to upgrade to a direct drive trainer.

I started zwift just after christmas.  Really helped with sanity over the long winter.  Made a "slap pals"  group on there.  We don't do anything with it, but if you;re in there I'll give you a follow, and encouragement.

My road bike and MTB were stolen in Denver two years ago. Haven't ridden since.

I'm moving back to Colorado and looking into buying a new hardtail MTB to get back into it. Not interested in full suspension- too expensive, too much maintenance and most importantly- I hate how they jump.

I don't really want to spend more than $3500, and would prefer less than 3. I don't want something ridiculously slack, but would prefer low standover, short chainstays and a frame that isn't too stiff.

I haven't really paid any attention to the market in the past 4 years, so not sure what is out there. Looking for something like the Kona Honzo DL or Salsa Timberjack, but definitely interested in other options. Any suggestions?

I am biased towards Kona because they're local and I've got a dozen friends who work or have worked there, but also I have a Honzo ST and it's the best fucking hardtail ever made.

It's cool seeing pros jump on bikes now and then

Have you looked at the Marin San Quintin?

Posted some in progress photos awhile back, but been riding this new build this season. First new bike in basically a decade. Custom carbon fiber with machined aluminum. Campy chorus group set, carbon wheels with DT Swiss 240 hubs. Integrated headset.

Wanted a “do anything” kinda build, and while I mainly ride roads this thing holds up well in gravel and trail riding. It’s also fun to under bike sometimes too.

That thing is a beaut! The saw blade looking chainring looks crazy as fuck. LOL.

I found a brand new Ultegra 8000 46/33 crankset for under $200 and copped it so I can replace the 53/39 crank from my 6700 group. I've been liking more spin as I've been climbing a lot. Then to have the same size crank on my gravel and road bike will be nice bonus.

Yes sir.
 I understand about the size as well. After I started making my own frames I can’t ride most factory stuff anymore.

1988 Miyata 1200 w/ Sante 7-speed sis shifters

I got doored about a month ago while riding the '83 Miyata 310 and I'm still waiting to hear back from my claim whether or not the other party's insurance will take care of everything ($200 Japanese steel fork that I upgraded to about a month prior totally destroyed). I walked away with no major injuries besides a laceration on the jaw which I guess makes me look tough as fuck according to the homies.

This bike has been super fun so far and is way lighter; although I put 600 miles on the 310 so it had sentimental value

Nice.  Does anyone on here make homeaid 26 inch bmx frames?  Or know of something better than my "dyno throwback" 26 inch brought in last few years that isn't crazy expensive or an SE ripper.  I used to put together 20 inch dirt race bmxrs but long gone and can't get myself onto 20 inches anymore, though maybe its more of a length thing.  Like I discussed wheelbase later in life, am I missing the point as to why I need the 26

Fit do 22" , 26" and 29" bmx's. No clue where your based but if you have a local shop try one. Personally a 22" would be my next choice (then again i'm 45 and daily my 20")..the top tube makes a huge difference all the old school ones are way too short for adults..plus having decent size bars helps also, I have 9.5" bars they make them up to 12". No one believes my they are comfortable to ride with a longer top tube and decent bars till they try. Even my boss borrowed my bike to get his car that was towed one day and when he came back he was ok now I get it.

Oh yeah? I got the same name on there as I do here, and there’s only a few of these bikes in existence at the moment so there’s a good chance it’s me, or someone I know.

haha wow that’s rad. i’ve been showing all my friends their stuff. i joined a bikes discord and ended up seeing somebody mention frameworks there. i’m a complete noob to anything involving drops or narrow tires but i can appreciate a finely crafted machine. currently working on getting into this scene more, there’s so much to learn.

It’s a hobby and a passion which can consume you in exactly the same way skateboarding does.

How about a Fairdale Taj?
It's 27.5" rather than 26" but there's not much in it.

For me it’s way worse. Especially being older and having some disposable income. It’s gonna be a hard day when my kid gets into college and I have to let him know he’s on his own because Dad dropped $10k during Covid (it’s still a thing) on bike shit. I’ve spent entire weeks obsessing about wheels and tires, getting absolutely no work done. I feel like I’m finally at peace though and I can ride these 3 bikes I have until I die.

Until Black Mountain drops a new frame and I spend a week grinding my teeth adding it and removing it from my cart, figuring out if my wife knows why my credit card is next to the laptop.
