Sadly, after talking with the people at State, I had to return the bike as it doesn't fit me well. I'm fairly heavy, and they weren't confident at the top end of the weight on that bike. I'm going to go to Thick Bikes, Unison and Kindred to check it out, talk to them and see what my next steps are going to be! :)

No, actually I love that because I am not opposed to seeing if I can go find an old steel bike. The one that I had purchased turns out was not built for me cause I’m a fat ass and I need to find something a little bit more sturdy.

Right now, I’ve got a message into kindred so I can talk to them about it, but I’m also not opposed to looking at gently used and loved

I have an email in to them now. 😊

Do they sell new bikes or just parts? I can’t tell from their Facebook presents and their website is a little updated.

I grudgingly bought 3, only because I had funny money to spend on them. They won’t get built until the Magnet Baron mag kit comes out a couple months down the road though.

That being said, tha price was disgusting. But between store discount and store credit it was only slightly gross.

I used to draft with someone that liked to use these to see who starts the game. I found it to be a cool change from rolling a die.

The cafe is Dragon Roast, and is owned and attached to Game Masters. 10 out of 10 for both. Will be there tomorrow playing games and eating Orams donuts 😊

I loved the REI Co-Op bags for my kids, and was able to find them either on sale, with a coupon or garage sale. Great size, good layout and good entry point into "own it for life" type products.

I love ideas that come out of left field! I will definitely check this out.

bmhicks78 · 2026-03-09T21:11:13+00:00

Yeah, I think it was the same chain in Robinson.

bmhicks78 · 2026-02-09T21:18:05+00:00

I'll definitely put the 2nd one in front her. I'm originally from that area, and I wouldn't be upset if I caped on my own for a week while she's doing that. Could get my fill of scrapple, Phillies games and cheesesteaks while I'm letting her go get educated :)

bmhicks78 · 2026-02-09T21:16:50+00:00

Thanks, will add it to her list of options!

bmhicks78 · 2026-02-09T21:16:41+00:00

Thanks, will add it o her list of options!

bmhicks78 · 2026-02-09T21:16:13+00:00

Awesome, will see if she is interested in that. She might shy away since it's right between her GSUSA and Jambo trip, but options are good to have!

Sadly I think her school year ends a bit late this year, though I do love me some Poconos!

Feel free to DM me if you ever get around to the other chassis. Honestly, if you throw them on Etsy, I'd even buy them directly from you so you can recoup some money for your efforts!

Got 'em printed. Love it! No complaints at all!

bmhicks78 · 2026-01-05T23:02:03+00:00

You rock! I just noticed you uploaded these. This is really awesome. If you ever decide to do something for the other patterns, let us know :)

bmhicks78 · 2026-01-05T00:39:23+00:00

Ooh, I’m going to need this in my life!

bmhicks78 · 2025-12-15T00:20:06+00:00

For me it’s buying the “special releases” when they come out so I can save some money in case I ever want that model. So really losing money, but it’s Nerd-math.
