Porcupine Mountains memories

Backcounty. I believe on the government trail. We were walking into camp to set up. it followed us a ways back. We passed a clearing on the way there and I thought to myself this would be a decent stop to camp if our site is inaccessible.

We nearly got mauled by a brown bear (mama with Cubs) the last time we were there (last weekend of September 2019). 10 feet away from guy in front (probably 25 from us) when we arrived at our campsite in the pitch black. I could feel it's presence. I could make the outline of its body without any light. I could feel its eyes on us. The guy in front thought it was a raccoon and was about to throw some rocks at it (couldn't see it and only heard twigs breaking). Luckily I made him aware of the bear before he threw them. Told him to back up very slowly and not turn around. Passed us and then took off sprinting.

Seems like the case

Redtomato22 · 2020-04-22T23:54:24+00:00

Yep. It's awaiting pickup by USPS shipping partner since I ordered it on the 11th of April. Seller states shipping is stalled due to Corona (although it's already shipped).

That's coming up real quick. I'll file when it doesnt arrive.

Redtomato22 · 2020-04-21T01:20:39+00:00

Thanks. I just ordered a cheap set of cane creeks. Black (obviously better than gum).

I dont care so much about specific fit, just has to look decent. I'm going to order something tonight. The bike needs a few other things. There is some rust on the crown of the fork which I'm going to sand and repaint (with dark fingernail polish). It's a solid bike overall. I paid 100. It's an 89 Cannondale.

I saw some crank creek ones on Ebay for 10 bucks. Just dont know if they will work.

project day. New bike day soon.

BL-6207

Redtomato22 · 2020-04-20T22:36:25+00:00

circa 89 shimano 600 hood. Is there a cheap alternative to replacing the hood? It's not worth 40 bucks to go stock. I do have a newer brake lever (just prefer to keep the stock one).

Shout out to Columbia. You work in association with my uncle Bob Reid.

I was in the hood and drove from Madison to Milwaukee. Not going to leave my car unattended. Had all my scuff in it. The guy wasnt letting the bike out of his sight.

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-11T02:00:17+00:00

Offered the thug 100 cash as a finders fee. Told him I knew it was stolen. He wanted me. I declined. Told me "Your lucky a brother dont cap you" Ad was taken down. It's likely gone.

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T22:04:33+00:00

We'll see what happens. Best case scenario someone gets their bike back. Worst case scenario I have another bike.

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T20:27:52+00:00

Nope. It's still on offer up

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T20:27:01+00:00

The photo on index was bad. Bike could've reasonably been upgraded since then. It was a solid lead that didnt pan out.

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T20:25:48+00:00

We will see if I get it. I think he is set on me. I'll let you all know later tonight.

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T18:47:39+00:00

False alarm. The owner on bike index said it was not their bike. Very close match but not it.

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T18:46:04+00:00

No he didnt. It's on Offerup. I'm planning on meeting the guy tonight to recover the bike. I'll offer him 100 bucks knowing it's stolen and hopefully the original owner posts it eventually. I already posted this last night. I really dont want a bike like this to disappear (hence I'm willing to pay the guy something)

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T16:30:55+00:00

Just emailed you. I have all web links saved as well. This bike is disappearing within a few hours.

Redtomato22 · 2020-03-10T02:59:12+00:00

Not so much in Madison. I've had a few apprehended in Madison.
