The people with whom you do regular life shit often make extremely cool tools for the world's musicians
That is awesome. Was it some kind of official randonneur brevet kind of route, or just a personal thing?emmanuelle cunt wrote: I've completed a 300km ride last month and I'm really happy with myself about it.
Okay, that looks kind of fun. I avoided MTB for a long time because I got the same kind of redneck, dirt-bike vibe from a lot of the participants. But I've been to a local MTB park a couple times and rented full suspension bikes, and it was a blast.eephus wrote:

I’ve got one as my “everything” bike!Still, can't you just get a gravel bike like the rest of us middle-aged music nerds?
I am really curious what you end up getting. I recently went from a 30 year old Barracuda with no shocks to a low mid line Kona with front suspension. It makes a huge difference on all of the roots on the trails here in northern Florida. We also just ended up buying an old but barely used full suspension bike that we converted to a 1x12 for my wife. I have to say I do enjoy the luxurious feel of it. But I do not like its 26’ wheels and older geometry. I had not heard of downciuntry bikes but am now going to read as much as I can.eephus wrote: Two bike things:

Not midlife-crisis-level of spend, but something in the last few years, aluminum or carbon, L or XL fit for 6-foot-tall rider. If anyone has anything they want to unload or sees something cool, please fee free to let me know.
2. Selling my 2015 Kona Humuhumu, which is a very cool sort of klunker/cruiser/giant BMX thing. Single speed, 29" wheels. Has a rack and decent flat pedals and a water bottle holder. LMK if you are interested.
Did you get a Honzo? I just test rode one, and I liked it.Barbo wrote: Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:46 pmI am really curious what you end up getting.
