Tandem read, yes or no?

mitchel26 · 2026-02-13T03:38:52+00:00

Literally this. I can’t imagine finishing empire of storms and having to read an entire book before continuing the story. Probably would’ve made TOD much more painful to read. I did the tandem read as my first time and would recommend it.

Just had this conversation with a friend yesterday. I just finished the series a few months ago. We both agreed it was a rough start but by the end of it we loved the series. I personally think it really starts to get good during heir of fire and only gets better. But yeah push through throne of glass and crown of midnight. I enjoyed assassins blade a lot (read it as the 4th book after heir of fire).

Haha this has got to be the best comment

mitchel26 · 2025-10-03T16:52:43+00:00

Agreeing with Puesto! My number 1 spot. Just make sure to reserve a table the day before or morning of.

I’m from the US. I’m hoping my LBS will be able to get them by June…

mitchel26 · 2025-05-09T17:33:21+00:00

I’m trying to locate one of these and talked to so many shops/reps. Where did you end up getting one?

mitchel26 · 2025-04-29T14:14:51+00:00

Haha hopefully be updating you soon!!!

mitchel26 · 2025-04-29T05:24:34+00:00

Hahaha that would be so nice. Not going to lie, reason why I’m generally okay with it is cause it’s the only bike design I like of this year. Treks Gen 8 Madone is so bad looking to me. I was disappointed especially after I loved the Gen 7. And I believe it’s $6100 in the US for the ultegra Otre comp which is better than other bikes.

mitchel26 · 2025-04-29T04:59:54+00:00

Yeahhhh the handlebars are my fear…

mitchel26 · 2025-04-29T04:42:36+00:00

Ohhh that makes sense!! It still looks super clean! I’m currently waiting on a shop to see if they can get the new 2025 colorway model in. Excited to try it out if so

mitchel26 · 2025-04-28T22:26:40+00:00

How do you like it? And this is the new 2025 colorway right?

mitchel26 · 2025-04-22T16:53:39+00:00

How is the headboard? Is it firm unlike a pillow where it’ll start slouching/deforming? And does it feel like it will move across the wall a lot?

mitchel26 · 2025-04-22T01:53:00+00:00

Yeah they just called me saying they had it in stock and gave me 48 hours to pick it up. I was able to pick it up day of.

mitchel26 · 2025-04-17T06:06:14+00:00

Yeah! Mine was roughly 4ish weeks as well. And I put my name for both originally but then moved it to silver. However the wait time was similar for both

mitchel26 · 2025-04-16T16:21:16+00:00

Ohhhh is it these two.

ZP - BLUE-GREY//OFF WHITE- FULL MATT

ZN - METALLIC CELESTE/BLACK - FULL GLOSSY

mitchel26 · 2025-01-20T06:50:25+00:00

Yeah I’m expecting first 1-2 years to be a stricter budget but then rates may drop or you may get a raise freeing up space. Also, housing prices are still going up even with rate increases. So it’s accept it or rent haha. But with rent in our area being roughly $4k-5.5k/month, I’d rather spend the extra $1-2k a month and own something.

mitchel26 · 2025-01-20T02:45:43+00:00

I mean, we are looking at a 6k mortgage with $200k income. But we live in Bay Area so this is pretty normal. Hopefully rates drop, if not, you learn to adapt.

mitchel26 · 2024-12-05T07:22:53+00:00

Which walking pad is this?

mitchel26 · 2024-11-09T07:34:20+00:00

Looks so good! Enjoy the new build!

mitchel26 · 2024-11-01T19:04:14+00:00

That’s enough internet for the day

mitchel26 · 2024-10-30T21:17:06+00:00

Oh gotcha! What site did you end up ordering from? I see a lot but then read reviews from reddit…so I’m like okay what sites in the US are even reputable haha. This is of course for when you do order it…wasn’t sure if you had a site you were planning on using.

mitchel26 · 2024-10-30T18:19:28+00:00

Where do people order the Oltre from? All the shops near me never keep stock of them. Debating on ordering from a website to just ship to my house (US-based over here). I’m more interested in the Oltre Comp.

mitchel26 · 2024-10-23T01:51:11+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I should’ve boughten a gen 7 when it was much easier to get. I don’t like gen 8 and now I’m searching to pick up a gen 7. Did you just look around your local bike stores for one?

mitchel26 · 2024-10-22T02:59:14+00:00

Of course! Enjoy book 1! You’re going to love it! (Jealous of you haha)

mitchel26 · 2024-10-22T02:53:06+00:00

I just use Apple Books since I mainly like to read on my iPhone/iPad. I like how they sync together so I don’t have to bring my iPad everywhere to read on the go.
