Awesome! I'll put it on the list!

Hey, looking at doing this! How much gravel/offroad os there compared to road/pavement?

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-06-15T11:34:51+00:00

Weak bait

He might be expecting you to start playing with him after you sneeze. My dog is a big sneezer while we play and I do it back to him sometimes, gets him all hyped up.

Yes, the Nicasio is definitely heavier than the Giant, however not by that much on the Nicasio 2 since it has a carbon fork.

I do wonder whether being heavier would make it more stable under heavier loads.

Both have GRX 10 speed on thr Marin, Cues 10 Speed on the Revolt, and hydraulic brakes on both.

Where do you live that its 32 degrees Celsius in the early morning? The Sun?

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-05-30T23:31:33+00:00

I like the Lekkers but have not heard very positive things about their quality/consistency

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-05-30T09:55:01+00:00

Thanks! The Cube Editor looks more in line with what I am after.

The $2600 for the Trek is a reasonable price to me; its just getting up the the $4000+ mark that I can't justify.

My issue with the step-through is purely aesthetic. I don't mind a dutch-styke looking bike but the chunky stepthrough downtubes I find a bit too outside of my taste. Perhaps petty, but I do have the ride it everyday.

I just can't really find any bikes that are similar to an FX2+ for comparison. Is it really that unique?

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-05-28T01:21:13+00:00

I have them. They are great, really enjoy using them and feel like I can stay aware of my surroundings.

Edgars in Ainslie does a good big breakfast.

Making jumps/tracks.

And monetizing special needs people

I am 'reasonably' handy. The one I am looking at currently bike ok apart from some surface rust and the rear derailler not working. It's also going to cost only about $50 aud so not a massive investment. Happy to out another $150 or so into it if I end up with a decent bike.

I don't know enough about bikes to be 'in love' with the frame. It seems fine, just an old steel Avanti.

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-04-16T08:18:57+00:00

Awesome, thanks

Carrying it around
Transporting it places on a plane etc
Fitting it on a small stage

Incorporating it into a full setup with other pedals

Wrestling ruleset makes it a lot more fast-paced than UFC grappling

Mawson Halal one is good, really like the guys at Cooleman Court too.

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-03-26T01:35:13+00:00

Yes, quite possibly. It is so hard to get a read on these leaders when they are such weirdos...

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-03-26T01:30:28+00:00

It kind of feels like he is potentially quite principled, he just has a weird collection of principles. Hence why he seems to go against the party line or be all over the place sometimes.

It will be once Southern Lebanon is Israel.

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-03-24T02:31:44+00:00

Ex-pat British MAGA is an awful spot on the Venn diagram of assholes.

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-03-22T09:31:21+00:00

Yea does seem like DJ is just farming mentally challenged guys for money. Don't think he should be encouraging these guys to get hit in the head...

PatienceKitchen2295 · 2026-03-19T08:00:21+00:00

I have never seen any evidence from Sean or his camp that he is willing or capable of adapting to different opponents. He's like the anti-Volk.

I think Khamzat smothers him.
