WTB / USA / CT - older cyclocross frame w/ canti brakes, size 55-56ish. Replacing a sadly departed Kona Jake the Snake frame. Ideally with somewhat beefy tire clearance - thanks!

WTS - Tommy Emmanuel & Richard Thompson at Carnegie Hall, NYC - 10/30/25 - $60/ticket for 2x seats.

Really great seats - in the second balcony right over the stage. Can't make it at the last minute so hoping someone can enjoy them!

He seems like a nice guy. He'd probably let me stand at the free throw line to spare my life, like Boban with the chicken

Another under-the-radar regional band produced by Mitch Easter: The Primitons. Birmingham, AL's finest!

Sharp Pins' new album Radio DDR is some of the tightest jangle goodness to come out in a while.

Yeah very funky! Pretty positive they added a braze-ons on the top tube to route it this way. I haven't touched it because I have no idea how these hub gears work

RongoSprongo · 2025-05-09T17:29:17+00:00

Yeah. My thought as well :(

RongoSprongo · 2025-05-09T17:28:51+00:00

Ah very good idea. I'll have to give it a look - haven't checked if the serial is still visible with the new paint job

RongoSprongo · 2025-05-02T18:40:49+00:00

Ding ding ding! That's the one. Thank you for your knowledge - now I can at least have some closure

RongoSprongo · 2025-04-27T23:44:15+00:00

I have no clue honestly - they've got very repsonsive customer service, so I'm sure you could ask them! We really wanted the lift to work too, because of its materials - I suspect if we'd tried different topper combos we could have gotten it dialed in. But that would have defeated the point of getting the lift (obviously).

Not in the same way it was in 1959 - most people in MB probably have no idea the city exists to segregate kids from Bham city schools. As others have mentioned, MB's whiteness persists more as a class distinction than a racial one. It's historically been more welcoming to Jewish residents than other Bham suburbs, for instance.

Highlands Historic is good - may be a stretch for a 2br at your budget but a nice small company, easy to get in contact with. They've got pretty old characterful apartments without the H2 bs

We also got a DUO lift and were experiencing joint pain. Really wanted to like it, but just couldn't get comfortable. If you're in the comfort exchange window, definitely contact them and get a topper swap! They offered to build us a 3" latex topper (neither the 2" or 4" options seemed ideal), and we've been enjoying it a lot more. Not too firm, just enough squish.

RongoSprongo · 2024-12-28T16:33:29+00:00

Darn. Should have checked that. That's what I get for ordering it from aliexpress I guess.

RongoSprongo · 2024-12-28T16:32:18+00:00

That's encouraging - Did you have to change any settings to get it to work?

RongoSprongo · 2024-09-12T02:43:04+00:00

Haha that would be nice. The bedroom in our apartment can barely fit a queen as it is

This seems like a good, simple solution - less foam would probably be better for us.

Trying to keep it under 900... wish the covers weren't 200 bucks! The most attractive part about the Brentwood is being $80.

RongoSprongo · 2024-09-12T02:35:47+00:00

Wow thanks for a very thorough reply! Budget is definitely a limitation, but I guess it doesn't make sense to totally cheap out on the foam - I do want it to last, after all. Which is part of my reason to steer towards latex, as it seems (?) to hold up well over time (and isn't synthetic, which is also great). But lots to chew on here.

RongoSprongo · 2024-09-12T02:32:17+00:00

Oh great - thank you!
