Dammit: Post your bike

[Euphorbia]

one hour of work for Heath’s yard maintenance guy?

@Face

What else?

• Avocado Toast
• Sundeal

Edit: forgot about Lorry too

Recap:

1 bong = 6-2/3 sundeals = 5 Katu
1 Lorry = 2 sundeals
1 sundeal = 20 avocado toasts

we can always make up more

@blackholelectron

Interesting that your VentureMaxes are much lighter. Are they both WCS? VMs carbon?

Both WCS, but yeah, it must be gen 1. Does NOT look like the ones online. 289 grams for the Venturemax vs the Beacon at 305 grams, on my kitchen electric scale. Pretty sure its alloy.

@Crustradamus

turns out my next bike might be a tarck group buy folding ebike?

I’ve already created an ad campaign in my head for you in which trendy youths in nyc pull up to da club on these things.

BLAUPUNKT

I need marketing help - will likely kick our PR and ‘digital advertising’ agencies to the curb after April. Worthless.

And if someone wants to set up a group buy, I’m happy to figure something out.

[jame5on]

Not a pro just a long time consumer.

Is there a model of nonbike co successfully wedging their way into a market position with a small targeted offering?

Not knocking your thing just thinking my way through the problem

Brompton might be the only model

[jame5on]

I would look at the boat and RV world. Maybe make it worth their while to include them as sales premiums. I would look at getting them visible in the apartment cities

[Dickason_Daniel]

Gotta get it into MacGruber season 2.

@motorbacon

Folds down small enough for TSA and storage compartments under RV. 45 lbs with all the motor and batteries and ebike bits. Diecast magnesium frame so the tolerances are spot on for the hinge.

1999 retail but can hook you up with a steep discount for friends and family.

Can you hook me up with an under the seat subwoofer for my car?

@jame5on

boat and RV world.

Snowbird world is the place

[Master_Stabby]

I know a few snowbirds and they’d be all over this but are too crippled for bikes, unfortunately.

I’m into it because I can probably take it on the fast ferry and not have to leave it outside.

why do i want this so bad despite rarely traveling and clinging desperately to any opportunity to make a bike ride my exercise?

can we get better shots of this hinge? genuinely interested to see it

The VM feels crazy thin, for alloy. Compare them with an internet VM…

It was time for me to get back into it and build a basket/fuck-around-90s-mtb.
Got my paws on this mostly original Koga Miyata on/off road runner for 50$.

[Shamp]

[jimmythefly]

The whole -runner series was awesome for having taller head tubes compared to most of their contemporaries. Great for drop bar conversions or just general slam dat stem looks.

[viggen]

Now you’re giving me ideas…

But first up: tyres, v-brakes, thumbies and a 137!

[ant]

I like that in 2023 tarck fashion, 90s 26" are all the rage lol

Fixed that for ya
