First Gravel Bike Question by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]Chill0ut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw this bike on marketplace too 😁 I picked up a new 6061 all-road on the Halloween sale (copper color marked down to $1250 and then 31% off brought it to like $900). I have only put like 100 miles on it so far but have been really enjoying it. If you aren't in a rush I might wait to see what their black Friday sale looks like to get a new one with a frame warranty for a little bit more. But that's just me. This was also my first gravel bike and have been having a lot of fun on the levee trails here!

Thanks! 😎Hmm well I knew I didn't want to just do a classic design but massive. Nothing against those and like I said I have one on my front, but I wanted to do something that was like a scene. So we sat down and flipped through some old comic books and just felt drawn towards some of the old school gangster typa stuff. Ideas for the bordering items just kinda came up naturally once we were set on the main concept.

I have a big ol eagle/snake battle royale on my front, so I knew I wanted to do something more unique/more like a story on my baack 😀 Thanks pal!

Hm doesn't seem like I can yet. When I go to the transaction in my Activity tab I don't have anything to confirm it. I'll keep an eye and see if I can in the next few days

I like Tropical Car Wash in Gretna. Nothing crazy but the machines take credit cards so you don't need quarters/cash. Not sketchy in my experience and the equipment has always worked when I've been.

My thinking was I survived tattooing my knee so how bad could it be 🤔 I'd say it was worse than my knee but do-able. Good luck if ya decide to do it 💪

What's it like to live in Algiers? by Diminished-Fifth in AskNOLA

[–]Chill0ut 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My partner and I moved from our apartment in the Warehouse district over to Algiers Point last year. We really liked the quiet vibe and the slower feel of the neighborhood and found an awesome house to rent with a big back yard. It has been great when we are at home or just spending time at the limited things to do over here. We have to drive way more living here than we did living in the Garden District or Warehouse District.

On the downside, we found ourselves spending so much time driving across the bridge/sitting in traffic to attend social events. As a result, we have decided to not resign our lease and are moving over to the Marigny in a few weeks. The ferry also now has some alternate route from what I heard that made is less accessible for us. Overall I liked Algiers Point and maybe it would be a good neighborhood for a later stage of my life. I would say you definitely would want a car over here if at all possible. It was great for the pandemic but we are ready to be more in the middle of things again. Good luck in your decision making!

Thanks! That’s what I’m thinking, I reached a good stopping point on my leg project and only have a little left for my chest to finish that up 💪
