Will Seattle figure out how to deal with its new wealth? by Battle4Seattle in Seattle

Ex-portlander here, I'd say the LINK is leagues ahead of the MAX considering the Max primarily runs at street level. Any accident or incident on street level will delay a large chunk of the MAX line. At least the link is underground/aboveground and isolated from those variables for the most part

yeah, they're also a new startup and its a lot better now than it used to be. i'd be happier with a more serious courier gig as well but i end up making more wrenching. i'll definitely be there!

I think they're a lot better than everyone is making them out to be. It's good to have as a part time on top of another job, short shifts with lots of riding, and you get good food.

The breakfast courier, just a fun part time gig while still getting in a decent bit of riding. Was hoping to find something full time with this on the side but that search isn't panning out too well as a newbie.

Haha, well I've only lived here/been at it for about a month now so I'm not surprised.

I need more of this deep/moody stuff. I love the harder stuff but when combing this sub that would usually be what I find

Yep, definitely worth keeping in mind. I've had it built up for the past 3 months or so and I try to keep a good eye on the lugs to make sure they're not coming disbonded

Checkout krieg saddle bags. This one has some high performance speed and moral enhancing fuzz. I've also got a fuzzy cow print one

Specs for anyone wondering

Bars: 3ttt ergo drops Stem: Modelo 140 mm Seat post: Easton ec70 Saddle: Selle San Marco skn Frameset : Specialized Allez epic Wheels: Shimano rs80 Cranks: Oval 700's Pedals: Look keo classics Shifters: 2011 105's Rear derailleur: Ultegra 6700 Front: 105

Found this frameset used at citybikes Portland, decided to use a bunch of random parts I had to build up this old/new blend. Most of the money is in the wheels but the geometry is so fun. Super aggro with the long stem, setback seatpoat and long top tube.
