Spotted: A Chromag Full Suspension Bike, This Time for Adults
Whistler Bike Co has used both unicorns and the rasta tri-colour on a lot of their merch; wouldn't be surprised if it's from there.

First Ride: 2021 Devinci Marshall - Aluminum, Affordable, & Made in Canada
@orphan: You can definitely buy a used bike with nicer parts, but remember when the time comes you're still going to pay "nicer parts money" to fix them. People buy used German luxury cars for pennies on the dollar, but balk when it comes to replacing the luxury car parts. Don't be that person.

Bitches Brew - Is Mountain Biking the Pinnacle of Human Athletic Performance?
In terms of human-powered sport, I'd say that MTB (at an elite level) is right up there with Ironman triathlons, ultra marathons, and high-consequence alpine touring. That being said, I still thing F1 may be the absolute pinnacle of human athleticism, even though it's not specifically a "people power" sport. Same goes for Grand Prix level show jumping on horses; imagine riding a DH course, only your bike has a mind and self-preservation tactics of its own that you have to deal with while racing the clock...

Maxxis HR2 26x2.4" 3C Dual-Ply
$60 CADNever-mounted, fresh out of the box High Roller 2 tires. 26" diameter, 2.4" width, 3C Dual-Ply casing. Don't have a DH bike, so they aren't doing me any good. $60 for one, or both for $100. Perfect for the new DH bike, or an old one in need of some fresh rubber.
