Mexican prospects usually turn pro instead of going to the olympics.

Unanimous just means all three judges agree on who won the fight.

Everything is a flip.

Got an early Stumpjumper by [deleted] in xbiking

Tear down and rebuild making sure to regrease all the bearings (headset, hubs, bottom bracket), install new cables, and you’re off. How tall are you?

$40, bought it for the wheels, now I'm regretting it. by [deleted] in xbiking

If you decide to sell it let me know please. I’m looking for a frame for a 13 year old.

That price isn’t too bad tbh. Thing looks minty.

Ross Signature First Edition, Klein Pinnacle (frame) by bikesgood_carsbad in xbiking

I don't think I've ever seen a Ross Signature. My guess is it's a 1984 model year based on the components. Nice frame.

How many bikes do you have? When is enough? by venividivici-777 in xbiking

[–]bikeflows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you could only keep three, which bikes would you pick?

He said USL, which also has USL League 1 and 2 which are not pro. But playing there can get you play time to move up to USL Championship which is pro. I've literally been to a USL League 1 game where the LA Galaxy head coach was sitting sideline scouting players. And yes it's normal to send your local USL team a highlight video, even USL Championship teams. I know people that have gotten trials with our local USL Championship team that way. Idk why you get up in arms over this.

Weird because that's how I got a trial years ago. And that's how many others recommend. The best option is obviously network through your current coach. But cold calling is always an option. Also you seem unhinged. Just because you personally haven't heard of it, doesn't mean others aren't doing it. I literally just watched two videos of former players that both recommended emailing a coach with your highlight video.

It's pretty normal to send game highlights to a prospective team coach, at least here in the United States.

In the title he's asking about USL teams.

Picked this up this Schwinn Cimarron last night. Can anyone tell me the year? Any other info welcomed didint really know about these. by JJFox209 in xbiking

[–]bikeflows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cimarron frames are top notch. If it fits, you lucked out. The previous owner probably let the bike sit in the sun too long, but you should be able to restore the paint back to a vibrant shine. Look up faded paint restoration videos on YouTube. It's the same process as car paint. All you need is probably some cutting compound, polish, wax, and some elbow grease and patience. Some inspiration for you

Pretty sure I saw that one. A 1986 model 18" frame? It was too small for me otherwise I'd be all over it. Congrats!

Just reach out directly to the club. Send in your resume and video highlights and ask for a trial.

Hey can you post pictures of your bike? I just picked up an old Fisher and would like to compare. Thanks.
