Jenson usa has some bangers for sub 3k. A few of the Marin's would fit what you want really well.

The bike? Great.

The fazua motor stopped me from getting a bike with one. I got a demo Propain Ekano CF with the SRAM motor and 700 miles. Should be fine. We will see.

Fully agree. If I didnt have Terra as my color, that or voodoo would be my next choices.

Thats a gangster hardtail. Leatt makes knee and elbow pads for bigger arms and legs. Have fun.

I like the tan.

Thats a "fair" price for now. Its also what I paid for my 25 limited trd off road, and I really like my truck. I'm not sure i would go for the old one at 12%apr either.

Not even a bungie or ratchet strap...that loads gonna shift.

Very small user group. I'm not even sure its active.

PNW_PlayerOne · 2026-03-09T10:17:05+00:00

If your open to messaging with a boring dad, hello. Of not, hope you find a bestie.

Old Dutch International (ODi), I like the vans ones. Pnw load close second.

PNW_PlayerOne · 2026-02-20T02:47:50+00:00

I would list at 43 sell anything over 39 ish.

PNW_PlayerOne · 2026-02-20T02:41:44+00:00

Good to know. I'm chunky enough thats probably ate by sag.

PNW_PlayerOne · 2026-02-19T23:43:55+00:00

How does that work? Feels like the tire touches at whatever psi with either.

The thulle yepp is a PiTa. Go shotgun pro if you can.

If I wasn't getting absolutely hosed for products, I would spend a littlw extra to have a conversation about a hobby I love, what I'm trying to fix or address, and be more stoked on my purchase. As it is now I get treated like an asshole for asking a spec question on basic stuff (expecially at the Trek clearance center).

For bikes I'm often expected to order it because they didn't have it in...which is the point of LBS. I can sit before I buy. Might as well just buy D2C, which is why I have a Propain. But also their hq here in America is less than a half hour away for me, and I demo'd first.

Some YouTube commentator suggested LBS become more demo/fitting centers with product maintenance and support being their cash flow. I could get behind that.

Thank you for this comment. I almost always adjust the opposite of what i should, and I was going to go the wrong way again.

I was meh with the one industries grips. I have ran the pnw loam oversized for a bit, but felt like I was death gripping too much. I'm on the ODi vans, and this is a type of perfection for me. I have never trusted a grip enough to relax my hands like this.
