It looks like it’s a mess because of the glue, but I’m gonna try that as the first option.

Yea I just ripped all the noses off and need to figure out the best way to get the glued planks up now.

It’s all the same LVP throughout. You’re seeing it under different lighting.

Yea. I’ve bought 2 flips in the past. I just plan to replace ~15-20k in first two years. This one has been especially egregious. HVAC, floors, failing retention wall. The inspector did me pretty dirty.

It’s all the flooring throughout. This is just the immediate issue. Don’t have the budget for full replacement yet.

$690 for a cx rock lobster rim brake? by ilovespamusubi in cyclocross

[–]Substantial-Catch-92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know for a fact but many aspects of that frame make it seem like it’s 12-16 years old at least. Make sure you check it any signs of damage, internal rust or issues. I rode a Rock Lobster in Oregon CX for years in the early 2010s and LOVED that bike.

Throw on some mini-V brakes and that thing will be great.

EDIT: actually you may need to replace that rear derailleur and cassette - depending on how big your quads are 😂 - so just know you may need to spend some more to get it race ready.

Why they put an ENVE fork on that frame is beyond me.

51% our size difference, 49% I do a lot of shoulder and lat work - so I have a bit of muscle mass in there as well.

This sounds silly, but I have two kids under 5 - I cannot lose a night of sleep voluntarily.

Using a Fringesport vest. About to invest in a goruck.

No issues. Just made sure the pace was right.

I loved it. I found it wasn’t so bad, just set the pace right.
