    Holy crap Derek, that sucks!!!

    Is there not a single place anywhere in the restaurant to put a bike hook and hang your bike? Hell man, this is twice, doesn’t the business owner have a soul? Please, if you ever catch the bastard that took either bike, knock his ass down and stomp his nuts until they are pancake flat!

    Before you go spending any serious dough, please look at buying a TiGr Lock, I’ve never known one of the locks to fail. I’ve got a number of friends that are messengers and couriers, every single one of them have been ripped off and those bike were their livelihood. A number of them, myself included, helped bankroll the TiGr Lock when it was on Kickstarter. The father and son that developed the TiGr are lock masterminds and they researched the best locking mechanism and lock material, this lock is the bike savior. None of my friends have lost any bikes that were locked up with the TiGr Locks, I’m talking about San Fran, New York, Chicago, Philly, Los Angles… serious bike theft meccas… all shut down!!! They are expensive but how much have your two bikes set you back? More inportantly, how much are you going to spend on another bike knowing the u-locks can be busted? I’d suggest the new 30″ Ti bow, it’s ideal for mountain frame and bigger tires.

    Here is a link to the TiGr Lock:

    As far as that Trek goes, stay the hell away!!! That bike is about $400 overpriced and that suspension design is well regarded as the worst full suspension design ever crafted. That thing is a pogo stick, period.

    Right on Zoltan for contributing early, thanks! Your Phantom looks like a trail smasher… and a single speed no less! That’s awesome, I love to see other peoples’ single speed rigs, it’s all about personalizing the bike! I dig your choice in ODI Lock-Ons, as you can see on my Psycle Werks, I too am a fan of the Rogue grips. Great minds think alike? Hell yeah they do!

    How about a trail report? Given the surroundings in the photos of your Phantom with the old stone floor and the cut up forest, it looks like you’ve got some serious trails to explore. I’d enjoy a story and some photos (some milk and cookies too)… don’t be stingy with the lovin’!!!

    Alright gang, Zoltan has popped the cherry, no need to be bashful… just post your Sunday!

    This is stretching my recall quite a bit but if memory serves the Mountain Express was one of the higher model bikes. The bike has Shimano Exage components which became the LX group. Given the crank has the yellow BioPace sticker on the big chainring, that puts the bike between 1987 and 1990. I’m almost positive that the Mountain Express model became the Tonapah model in the 90’s. Checking the oldest listing on BikePedia, the 1993 Tonapah was Tange CrMo with Shimano Exage.

    With the large frame and ideal quill stem for your lanky build, this bike would be an excellent trail or commuting bike. The Zefel frame pump is worth $20.00, I just sold one on Craigslist this week for $25.00. Certainly the seller spent $40.00 or more on the new tires, Slime tubes, and seat (though you’d have to donate that hideous gel saddle to the misses). This bike will climb like a goat, handle anything you throw at it, and at $75.00 it’s cheap for being a rare tall bike!

    What’s not to like?

    Yeah okay, we can all sit in the park and yell at the pigeons together… the good ‘ol days!

    C’mon Big V., you’re bein’ too hard on yourself… you’ve kept yourself svelte and in dive shape but I’d be willing to bet that most guys around your age are way too fat to fit in a wet suit! Can you imagine the silliness of a bunch of chubby middle aged guys trying to tuck in their manboobs… wait, that’s every weekend down at the SoCal beaches with the ol’ geezer long board riders on their giant planks of youth!

    As far as that 50 is the new 30 bit, that describes half the jackasses in my neighborhood and those out on my local trails. I’ve decided that all the cutting edge full suspension bikes are owned by 2 groups of people, the young riders that can huck and take the pancake drops and the geezers who think they can. Any guesses which group pulls off the dazzling moves and which end up in arm slings and casts? This reaffirms the problem because the injury isn’t shaming in any way but instead is cheered on by the other geezers as youthful validation. F*ckin’ totally nuts!!!

    Oh, I hear Sears has a sale on sturdy white leather walking shoes… an old man classic!

    Hey gang,

    The weekend is half over, did you ride?

    (guilty feelings boiling up inside you if you didn’t)

    Aside from our Barracudas I don’t bring many topics of conversation, I’m not going to chat you up about artwork or graffiti (what is most dear to my heart besides my family), so from time to time I bring up another passion of mine… fighting. No, not the drunken stupidity in the street nor bar (but I have been known to mix it up from time to time against a bully or two), I’m talking about boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts. Last night in Las Vegas an absolute crusher gave a beat down on Cyborg (pictured previously) and won. You could go to Cagefighter on Yahoo and watch the 20 minute slightly impressive but slow at times fight, that’s not my reason for posting, it’s the fact that this young lady hadn’t had a fight in over 3 years and she was still able to handle one of the strongest and most vicious female fighters in history. Jovina “Jo-Jo” Baars (pronounced more like Bosh or the better known Bosch) is only 25 years old with a record of 35-0-3 hold 2 World Championships in Muay Thai/Klickboxing, in a nutshell… no fighter will get in the ring against her! That is insanely awesome to me!!! How incredibly tough do you have to be that no one is willing to take you on? I love it!!! That’s why I’m highlighting Jo-Jo’s achievement, this young lady can be 3 years rusty and still handle The Cyborg, she deserves some attention and praise! The best part is she looks like a sweet college student… maybe one day my little masher, and she is a masher, will follow in Jo-Jo’s footsteps, both are tall, strong, and kick harder than anyone I’ve ever seen for their respective ages! (grinning proud father moment)

    I’ll be glad to give credit where praise is worthy… clearly Derek has some fine culinary skills, that dish looks like a work of art! That said, the thought of some disgusting pickled pigs’ feet ruining those eggs makes me question your judgement (and that wouldn’t be the first time as you know). Damn man! Two things come to mind when I hear pigs’ feet…

    Ok, first of all…. that’s my sister. So lay off…. second of all.. I hear a little jealousy going on here. Don’t think any of you trailer park bike gigolos could rock cut-offs and a mullet like me. Third, Franzia doesn’t count as wine, more like whine cuz you can’t afford anything else, and she is NOT a cheap date.

    Missionary? Don’t knock it till you try it. 40-year old virgins on this site sheesh. Can’t appreciate the caviar till you’ve had the deviled eggs and pickled pigs feet.

    Everyone (including Vinnie) needs a little attention every once in awhile.

    All is right as rain… that was a fabulous fire back, well played my friend!!! I was wondering how much abuse you were going to tolerate before answering the call. Thanks for the laugh, big man, you gotta participate more often as I do enjoy the twist on humor that you spin!

    Cheers!

    p.s. Oh Big V., you’re asking for it with, “…one of those gross things in the center…” and my mind swirls with images just for your enjoyment!

    To clarify your first point about me making up fuzzy midriff bit, hard to say but I did see plenty of head-scratching things when I lived at the beach. I lived in Long Beach after I graduated from college in ’96, L.B. is the 3rd largest city in California and ranks 2nd in population in the gay community. I’m sure I ran or rode past someone matching that description… except maybe for the beret as that’s all Derek!

    I am off this week but no dice on the bonus rides with pee-wee, her spring break doesn’t happen for 3 more weeks. I’ll probably take a day or two when she has her vacation, gotta create some lasting memories somewhere!

    Glad you liked that one!

    More?

    Picture it now… Derek’s long hairy legs accented by the white fringe from his cropped denim shorts with the wind whistling through the hairs of his fuzzy midriff and that oh so chic and stylish beret letting all that see know that they are looking at pure sexiness!!! Oooh la-la…

    “A little history on the bike – “The bikes that were made between 1992 and 1995 are “true” Barracudas, made by the Barracuda Bicycle Company of Durango, Colorado. These bikes are what collectors and enthusiasts really look for. The very early bikes and most of the race bikes were crafted by Yeti and 3D Cycles and bear the finest craftsmanship.

    Geez, the seller has a few nuggets of truth correct and then he f*ckin’ embellishes the rest! “Call Will” is right and tell him to get his facts straight and to stop bullsh*tting just to sell a bike!!!

    Oh man, what an image… it’s warping my mind!!!

    While wearing a beret?

    Possibly Daisy Duke shorts and a cut off tank top?

    Ummm…

    sorry to let you down, chum…

    I was going for a safe, plus size girl that Derek loves before he makes any rash decisions.

    Obviously, she is only looking for long rides (missionary style) and good conversations!!!

    Eeewwwwww…
