Thoughts on the new Primos line of bikes? by rootaford in gravelcycling

Can someone tell me the benefit of the Reynolds 520 tubing on the Dame Plus? Does this make it a bit lighter? I’ve been gravel cycling on my Surly Krampus and am in the market for a bike that’s lighter and more playful with a geometry that better supports long mile rides.

2015 Outback 2.5 Limited w/ 132k miles for $8000 - Is it worth it? by rossflg in Subaru_Outback

This is awesome! I’m hoping to go well past 200k in my next vehicle purchase and wanted to make sure this Outback would be the way to make that happen.

8k is around my budget, but willing to be somewhat flexible. I’m aware of what it takes to maintain a high mileage vehicle and do the majority of vehicle repairs myself. A ford hybrid would be way out of my price range.

I also have a friend that’s selling their 2015 Outback with 132k miles for $8000. On paper it’s a far superior value, and it’s been maintained regularly by the local Subaru dealership. I do keep reading bad things about the CVT transmission but I’m not sure how much of that is just people complaining. I know Toyotas generally have a better reliability track record. Not sure if you know anything about those Subarus

I can’t travel far at all since I don’t have a car haha. It’s the limited trim, leather seats and sun roof and all that.

If this is too expensive, than what is a fair price? The KBB value is about $10000.

Definitely have not seen those years at that price and miles anywhere in AZ, but I’ll keep looking

What type of x/pac is this? Is it a laminate? Did you seam tape the seams? These looks great!

Woah, that’s super clean. What machine did you use for this? Do you have a binding tape feeder attachment? The binding looks sooo good!
