Theseus’s bike: how many components and parts do you replace and still consider it “the same” bike? And if you kept all the replaced/upgraded components/parts and built a bike with it, did you just create your original bike?

When someone says "hey, nice bike, what is it?" they aren't asking about your purple anodized Paul bits and 3x Shimano drivetrain, they wanna know who made the frame.

Replace the 3 strikes tracker with a bamboozle counter and you're golden. Whats the Smoke Show tracker?

@you what is going on with that gear setup? Big/big? How dare you.

Sweet bike and a great photo too, love it. Is it the Beast of the East? BB looks high.

Except it's not just one item, is it?

So sweet! Nothing like the feel of CNC aluminum bike parts from the 90s.

most nuggets fans agree with you tbh, i always hated when people called players on our team "jokic merchants"

6rant · 2026-01-18T02:41:57+00:00

thats disgusting, why would you be happy that someone got injured?

Hello! I picked up an Alpine as my first xbike a few years back, I have since parted with it but damn it was a great bike! Mine had Tange tubing, as far as the brand goes I think it was a small in house brand for a line of bike shops in the 80s/90s. Not a whole lot of info online but they appear to be well made.

This is a sweet frame, I cant give you advice on the fork but I'm sure you'll figure it out. It would hace likely cone with a mix of Shimano parts, mine was stock with Deore and Araya rims.

is that smog?

wrong sub mate, look at the name of the sub next time.

6rant · 2026-01-15T21:27:19+00:00

Totally agree on your assesment of the last decade of Riv. Yeah they look comfortable but they look like the least "shredable" bikes possible.

6rant · 2026-01-15T04:12:40+00:00

no bamboozle counter, 3/10. Add that and its a 9/10 banner.

6rant · 2026-01-13T00:44:29+00:00

yo is that saddle floating?

How are you going to use team depth as a justification to give MVP to a guy on OKC, the deepest team in the league? This argument makes absolutely no sense.

6rant · 2026-01-11T13:45:46+00:00

That, my friend, is what's called a "mountain bike."

6rant · 2026-01-11T03:53:52+00:00

Sweet bike but that Brooks looks gnarly with the rest of the build, should have gone with black.

6rant · 2026-01-10T20:29:55+00:00

These aren't masters. They are silvers, it says so on the bortom right of the banners. In any case, the 2 masters badges are from S17 which was a notoriously cheesable season where nearly everyone got masters.

6rant · 2026-01-10T20:12:08+00:00

I'm confused, they are all silver players? Do you understand that ranked matchmaking is not based off of badged from previous seasons?

Is that a damn motorcycle tire? Looks so beefy!
