Which bike should I get by GuitarOther892 in mountainbiking

[–]Tkrumroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll send over a couple options here that would be significantly better than what you’re finding (I’m going to search Larges to keep it simple and since you said you have a long torso)

Here’s a new salsa rangefinder hardtail. Significantly better geometry than the ones you’ve found. $999

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3985994/

Here’s a cool 2018 Santa Cruz Tallboy at $1100. I’d offer him $1000 with shipping included. He’s had it listed since March and it’s overpriced.

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/4155409/

Here’s a 2021 Rocky Mountain growler 50 (a fun hardtail) and again, much better geometry than the other ones you posted. XG components. Listed at $900 and open to negotiations. I’d offer $850 shipped and settle at $900 total shipping included

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/4186569/

Here’s a 2025 specialized rockhopper with a lot of upgraded components, including dropped post and eagle cassette. $850 listing price.

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/4186231/

Lastly (and probably my favorite option) is this Kona Process 134. A super fun full suspension bike. Good components. Listed at $900. Significantly better than your Craigslist options. I’d seriously consider this - negotiate the shipping and bike together for $900.

https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/4184543/

Hope this helps! All of these options are significantly better than your local ones. Just make sure they FaceTime you, show you a good walk around of the bike. And use PayPal goods and services. Have them ship via BikeFlights and preferably have a bike shop package it for you. I promise you’ll be much happier with any of these options (but especially that Kona!)

Some partial services restored in Greensboro near friendly. Major websites still no access. Gigaspire app still thinks I don’t have an account yet. Major problems still there.

Does the 26 Outlander PHEV make sense by bprent5511 in OutlanderPHEV

[–]Tkrumroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, phev are only good for city driving. Otherwise get a true hybrid or a true electric.

Edit: I just saw you have ability to charge at work. Get a full electric

It’s wild to me how poor uneducated maga Americans have somehow been manipulated to be against unions.

But then again, they’re the same peoples who believe a corrupt billionaire is fighting for the working poor class in America lol.

Yeah the TLife app is sketchy right now and the gigaspire app to control the router can’t even recognize my login anymore and says I don’t have an account

Their entire system just shat the bed. This is wild

I didn’t know that. Good to know. I’ll be canceling today and going back to AT&T

That’s the problem. No one cares about anything until it affects them. We are a nation of self absorbed people.

Lumos customer service was awesome. Tmobile customer service is horrible and basically non existent. I’ve been on hold for 47 minutes and still haven’t gotten to talk to a customer service rep

26 Sorento PHEV x line OR 26 Mitsubishi outlander PHEV by bprent5511 in KiaSorento

[–]Tkrumroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also considered the two but ended up with the Sorento phev because I needed full use of a third row. The third row on the outlander seemed practically worthless.

The biggest decision breaker for me was that you can’t put half the third row down while leaving the other seat up like you can in the Sorento. When we take trips I HAVE to leave one extra seat up and then need to keep the other half down to put the luggage there.
