A long time mountain biker chasing the younger version of himself. Trying not get hurt at the same time as going over 40 has shown gravity gets stronger and the ground has gotten harder.

He is. The last time this bike was on PB he said it was. It was his way to get 'just on fix' and 'build a new world order' Just keep it clean because you dont want to be a ' flith pig'

@JSTootell: Yes exactly. Also you have to wait for them as they trail fix their torn tire.

A water bottle is removable .. so when you weigh your bike for bragging rights you pull it off. The the weight doesnt count. Besides how can i eat my trail donuts from my swat box with out hot coffee?

Are Shimano & SRAM Developing Brakes For Headset Cable Routing?
@mrosie: Does it have to be close to lever? Why not the chainstay and on the fork? Or maybe in the top tube running both front and rear. Make it front and rear adjustable, system sort of like a car with a master cylinder?

@opetruzel: @opetruzel: Been trying to talk my coworked to sell me his XLT fx4 in area 51 color for months now. He hates the color loves the truck. It might be my fastest way to getting one, or pay 10k over msrp on a used one which is crazy. See we have something to happy about, no dealer adjusted market pricing on bikes! I also wait that toyota.

I use these for recording progress on construction sites. They have amazing image stablization and great self leveling. But being 360 you will see the operator in every image/video. That could be a minus for your use case.

@Benjamin97: I have looked at bikes in buy sell here and the cost of getting them to the US had made good deals un reasonable. Can't even guess what would happen with a vehicle. Also I feel you could charge more for it here in the US. Especially if it's rust is low.
