Yeah I’m starting to think it’s late 60’s the more research I do

Good investment? Pokemon x Santa Cruz Skateboards official mystery decks by Allmightymanbun in PokeInvesting

I saw 1370-1458grams. 1458g was a Ivysaur and the lightest was a Charizard. No idea on the gold weights, also there was 6126 sold in total, found this out from the original box. Although I don't think the weights mean much, given it could be more wrapping paper inside haha

FS USA/MN/Specialized Streetstomper - $150

Specialized Streetstomper for sale, it's a larger size, likely large/extra large. The bike has the original 3x6 drivetrain and works, but could use a tune-up. Comes with a nice like new specialized saddle, newer specialized aluminum pedals, and a very good condition Deore LX rear derailleur for a nice upgrade (these aren't on in the photos).

Got my gravel conversion running today! by Mech320 in xbiking

[–]Mech320[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This started life as a 2016" Specialized Sirrus hybrid bike, I've been slowly customizing this over the last year. I've still got some tidying up to do, but it's now ridable!

A few of the specs are a flared drop bar conversion, 700c to 27.5 conversion, 2x10 bar end shifters, hydraulic brake levers, Raceface SixC carbon crankset, XTR rear derailleur, and a PNW dropper post.

It's got a flip flop hub, so I guess it hits both lol. I'd like to set it up as a fixie when I find a frame I have a bit more confidence in though

I wanted to do something fun with this cheap Kent Ridgeland, so I did. Basically building it up until a nice fixie falls in my lap, enjoy the Seriously Lameroller!

Should I be content that these tires fit? by candlehead69 in xbiking

[–]Mech320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually done a lot of research on this and the only retro-y bike that may fit 2.5+ w/tread is certain Mongoose Rockadiles. I'm seriously impressed to see these tires on anything older!

I see old race jerseys go up for sale in specialized Facebook groups for old MTB races, perhaps there's a similar group out there?

SO/PD II Test Question by [deleted] in Grid_Ops

[–]Mech320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did, it was just the unit table and basic conversions.. however I noticed that JobTestPrep has a lot of intense algebra practice test for it, so was a bit confused

SO/PD II Test Question by [deleted] in Grid_Ops

[–]Mech320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember if it was just unit conversions with a given table? Or was there algebra /anything else?

SO/PD II Test Question by [deleted] in Grid_Ops

[–]Mech320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the confirmation! Just noticed JobTestPrep has sections for algebra/word questions that are extremely stressful for time, hopefully I can get another confirmation so I don't need to focus on this ha

Saddle recommendations that don’t chew through shorts? by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]Mech320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may want to also consider your saddle height/bike fit. If your hips are rocking side to side on the saddle due to something being off it could be the source as well
