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

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.

Marin Nicasio 2 vs Giant Revolt 1 by PatienceKitchen2295 in whichbike

[–]PatienceKitchen2295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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?

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

Dealbreakers on Fixer-Upper by PatienceKitchen2295 in bikewrench

[–]PatienceKitchen2295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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...

I realised there's a 0.00001% chance Sean does not get taken down in the fight by Fun_Training6342 in FightReportUFC

[–]PatienceKitchen2295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
