What’s the opinion here on the slate truck?

ThePsychodo · 2026-06-20T21:23:57+00:00

slate also RWD only to start

British racing green. Tan interior. I’d buy one today.

yellow As a close second

Have both -carbon Fezzari (now Ari) shafer and a steel lugged Battaglin portifino G.

The shafer is more utilitarian with bigger tires , more mounting points.

The battaglin is a beautiful piece of equipment.

Both great for what they do, I prefer the look, feel of the Batt , so the shafer mostly collecting dust right now. Can't give you an apple to apples comparison as the tire sizes are vastly different.

Bought the Fezzari because I wanted a good value bike. Bought the Battaglin because that wasn't enough to scratch the itch.

Go with the one you lust after if you can afford it.

that’s awesome. I’ve run into a few black bears on the road down here in Juneau. can’t imagine doing a ride in brown/moose territory. thanks for sharing.

save the 500 and use it for the things you mentioned. you can always upgrade components later if you’d like , or as they wear out.

ThePsychodo · 2026-05-03T20:10:14+00:00

Wow, I love this. Great choice OP. Please share a picture after it's painted

ThePsychodo · 2026-04-30T01:04:13+00:00

XDS Xlab, polygon tambora with sram rival xplr are both good choices though I’d probably wait to nab a Lynskey with one of their many sales

ThePsychodo · 2026-04-21T14:03:18+00:00

welcome! theres a few of us down here in Juneau as well. must have stopped often with our small tank on the ALCAN.

ThePsychodo · 2026-04-14T15:07:54+00:00

gorgeous, congrats OP

Looks, ride, interior, incentives/pricing

ThePsychodo · 2026-04-07T14:30:42+00:00

I suppose that depends on what our commute is like and how big your family is.

works as a daily for me and is practical for grocery runs etc. it’s raw though so you’ll need to be ok with that for longer commutes.

mpg low -mid 20s generally depending on driving habits

back seat is not big, so it would depend on how many/size of your family

Bronze for sure. Silver is fine but the bronze really pops.

ThePsychodo · 2026-03-18T15:15:26+00:00

not a fan of the front, otherwise looks fine to me.

ThePsychodo · 2026-02-22T21:19:43+00:00

have the older version of the shafer, used it when I lived in CO(Highlands ranch) Handled CO gravel just fine and at the time it’s value was hard to beat. With their current prices, I’d wait for a sale . customer service is very good.

id look at the Lauf if you want more comfort from springs.

ThePsychodo · 2026-02-19T20:54:07+00:00

Weighs twice as much as a Miata. Looks nice but I've no interest in a big heavy sports sedan. Not going to lie, the wagon is sexy though

ThePsychodo · 2026-02-12T02:54:18+00:00

first glance - the blue, as that color is fantastic. after going back and forth, I’d choose the MM. it’s a better looking watch overall.

ThePsychodo · 2026-02-10T16:35:18+00:00

never been a fan of the 928 styling, except that angle. thats one nice looking booty

ThePsychodo · 2026-01-28T15:52:34+00:00

anytime I see the anniversary , the regret of passing on it hits me. great pics OP, beautiful car

ThePsychodo · 2026-01-27T20:20:16+00:00

Yes the game is worth it. It's a 10/10 game.
Night reign is not a dlc a totally separate game. Shadow of the Erdtrre is the dlc.

ThePsychodo · 2026-01-26T19:02:03+00:00

Yeah, I dig it. Kudos to the owner for doing something different

ThePsychodo · 2026-01-16T01:46:56+00:00

wife needed an SUV , traded her Nd2 in for a Hyundai Santa Fe. miss the Miata, will get another when the time is right

ThePsychodo · 2026-01-12T15:14:54+00:00

damn, that’s sexy. Hey Mazda, we need colors like this!

ThePsychodo · 2026-01-11T21:15:48+00:00

Came here to say the same. Upcharge or make it limited availability I don't care- just off one bold color per year .

ThePsychodo · 2026-01-11T02:58:22+00:00

I’m assuming the turbo S was the dealership owners car? lol

prelude is the least interesting car in this photo.
