I thought Mike was way taller than Mike?

Or... maybe he was way shorter? I can't remember.

The images have an issue of autoplaying randomly instead of being manually changed. Please fix

thanks

Also my face when I said Santa Cruz and it was the SCOR... I've been had. Absolutely bamboozled

The derailleur on the Scott Spark doesn`t look like SRAM AXS to me, also it`s an alloy frame. However good illustration of the lack of parts due to Covid

Seriously- I wouldn't ride one of those if it made me faster than all my friends and I won it in a raffle. At least they didn't find a way to mess up their hardtails. And why they didn't partner up with Trust Forks to make the undisputed ugliest bike of all time, I will never know. I can say this because I am easily the ugliest male in Southern California. I have the state tournament next week and will let you guys know if I take that crown.

JarrodB (Dec 21, 2021 at 1:00)

@pdfork: the California crown may be yours, I'm competing in Utah this month as well, hope to see you at Nationals! Also, a good friend used to ride Orange 20yrs ago, he's buying a new one next week...

So, silhouette is the new black. And if Fox Performance is good enough for a pretty silhouette, there is no point paying more for Kashima. Nor for oil slick or anodized purple. And the anti-mullet dude in the comment section will be stoked to see that variable diameter will now be contained within a single wheel. If you don't like any of this, buy your bike now because the future of mountainbiking looks dark and grim.

This is part of Outside’s sinister plans to harvest our shred data in their unholy quest for dollars. I just don’t know exactly how…

Ever watch Let's Make a Deal? It's kinda like that only they took the fun out. And sucked the souls of all the audience members. And there are no prizes. But otherwise the same. Make sense? Good.

I got all of them down to the SCOR, which I thought was a Shimano part number.
