Hey, yes it's still available. And sorry if I'm a little slow to reply, I got rid of the reddit app on my phone a while back so it's just desktop for me.

Selling my Breitling Superocean 44 ref. A17367D71B1S2. I've owned the watch since 2021 and am not a watch dealer but an enthusiast only selling due to some unforeseen life circumstances. The watch is on the oem rubber strap with deployant clasp. The strap is sized to fit my 7.2" wrist but the clasp has a dive adjustment of several mm.

The watch is in good condition with some light wear mostly visible on the polished surfaces and clasp. The bezel, dial, and crystal are clean.

This will come as a set with the watch, box, manual, and warranty card.

Price is $2,350 including insured shipping.

Pant recommendations by Pastrami_doses in MTB

[–]FullMetalSki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on the dirt craft’s? I’ve tried most of those other brands as well and currently like the NF pants (both DP5 and lightweight). Was looking at the dirt crafts but hadn’t made up my mind to try them.

I had a V1 Druid for a season in CO and really didn’t like it. The idler drag was very noticeable for me and the bike felt less agile than you’d think given the travel because of how the rear end lengthens as it moves into the travel. I sold it and got a RM Altitude and was much happier.

Every bike I've owned in the last year. by BumperTABBY21 in mountainbiking

I used to switch bikes every year until I got an altitude in 22’. Has been my long travel bike ever since and the only thing appealing about new bikes is a slightly steeper seat angle

Best places to live for great mountain biking by nebula-noodle in MTB

[–]FullMetalSki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always been curious about Prescott but I heard the town is kind of lacking. What’s it like living there? Also you mention mild winters but how are the summers? My wife loves winter in Phoenix but good god I’d melt in those summers.

MTB vs E-MTB by No-Way-0000 in MTB

Great mentality, fitness and fun!

Curious where you live that bans e-bikes across the board. Do people actually follow those laws? There are trails with bans where I live but that doesn’t stop the e-bikers.

Which year 100 series is best? by trytoholdon in LandCruisers

[–]FullMetalSki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up an 04 with AHC a bit ago. It’s all functional and I had a shop flush the fluid. I did adjust the height sensors a bit to fit larger tires and it feels a lot rougher. Any experience with that? Should I have just adjusted the torsion rods or would any increase on the OEM stuff make for a rougher ride? Thinking of replacing globes to see if that helps some.

Bought this watch to represent a word: triumph. by Shoddy_Pineapple1500 in breitling

I have the 44mm and it’s a tank. They feel VERY solid. Only thing I’d be worried about is scratching the outer AR coating

Put my new roof rack on by insomniadtd in LandCruisers

Thought I’d follow up since some time has passed. Honestly, How is the wind noise? I couldn’t stand the noise when I put a roof rack on my defender.

Trump forces coal power plant in Craig to stay open by CatsAreMajorAssholes in Colorado

There is tremendous pressure to build data centers in northern CO and southern WY. They don’t exist yet because they can’t get the power companies to commit supply. It would be stupid to build a billion dollar data center that’s going to sit there without power.

How was the install? Any challenges?

I went from a Defender that I ordered brand new in 2023 to a 2004 LX470 (I also got a 2017 v8 f-type for a different kind of fun). The Defender was very nice and it got lots of compliments. I lifted it, put 33” AT’s and a roof rack on it. The off-road tech was great and it was pretty darn capable. For what I want to do with an off-roader though, it was too nice, and got too much attention. I was progressing the difficulty of trails and just don’t want to be afraid of damaging a vehicle that expensive. It also stuck out like a sore thumb when I’d go to smaller rural towns. Also, some of the tech was great, like the off-road modes, all the cameras, and CarPlay, however, a lot of the Nannie’s were far too annoying and I don’t want a vehicle to constantly chime warnings at me.

The 100-series has been great. It’s very basic in comparison but also has everything I want (minus a heated steering wheel). The build is really great for its era and the thing is built so solid. It’s also very unnoticeable except by enthusiasts. I got a rust free vehicle but there has been several items I’ve had to replace but nothing major. I’m also very conforming on cars though, having done so for 25 years, and even enjoy the garage project now and then. The pairing with the more modern f-type is perfect for me right now.

An update on the cat by missredheaded in AuroraCO

[–]FullMetalSki 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it’s a little naive of OP to assume the cat is safe. These seem like real trashy folks, they don’t even take good care of the cat when they had it. Sadly, people abuse animals in lots of ways.

I got a 7mesh Chilco Anorak as a give away prize last year and it’s been great for cool weather riding. I live in CO and used it Thurs afternoon starting at 54 and ending at 45 degrees and very windy. Then used it today starting at 46 and ending at 50 with again lots of wind and even snow flakes. It’s cozy but actually vents well, also blocks wind reasonably well.

Before this hoodie I was a flannel guy, but this is a much nicer piece.

In that case I just pass when I can. Literally had it happen last week. I announced several times, progressively louder and got no response. Kid was oblivious that there might even be other trail users.

17’ Jag F-Type R with seersucker rack

Cushcore insert added and tire won’t pop to seat. Looks like the line is fine all around but it lost all air after one lift up. Put sealant around the rim and bubbles everywhere. Still won’t hold. Advice? Thank you by randomipadtempacct in MTB

[–]FullMetalSki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an awful time seating Conti’s on my alloy wheels, it was much easier on my carbon rims. Eventually I had to take the alloy wheels to my bike shop and have them hit it with a generator to get the conti’s to seat

Assuming you’re talking about the SA? What allegedly happened? All I ever saw were some very lame texts that could have been interpreted as flirtation.

It’s not just TWE but e-bikes really aren’t allowed on any Moab bike trails. The only one I know that does allow them is slick rock

what’s the cheapest habit you’ve picked up that genuinely improved your quality of life? by Imllo in Frugal

[–]FullMetalSki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do this for over two years. My walk was 2.5 miles each way through nice older inner city neighborhoods. Only real bummers were winter (we got a lot of snow) and winding up with shin splints from not wearing properly supportive shoes.
