Video: How To Win €100,000 Riding Your Bike | Pinkbike Weekly Show Ep. 23
Exactly. I raced bikes for nearly 15 years and was only ever good enough to be a bottom 5-10 pro. The cost of getting to that level, by my math, was well north of 100k when you factor in bikes, equipment, entry fees, travel, lodging, meals, etc over that 15 year period. To make it to the level where you’re going to even have a chance at wining that 100k, you’re going to need a boat load of talent and probably double to triple the amount of money you’re trying to win.

Juin's 6 Piston Semi-Hydraulic Brakes - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
@southshorepirate: I guess that’s a fair point. But I’ve never had a set of mechanical or hydraulic brakes fail if it wasn’t for a crash…when you pick up the bike and realize you broke something or lack of maintenance…which is usually a slow death and you have warning. If you were to lose BT connection between your caliper and lever there wouldn’t be a warning, and it may not be due to a crash. Idk. I guess if someone made wireless brakes, if the f/r shared different BT addresses, I guess if one brake failed you’d still have the other. Then it’d be same same.

Juin's 6 Piston Semi-Hydraulic Brakes - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
@southshorepirate: If bike brakes were wireless, I’m thinking they’d have to have a safety feature where they failed “on”. Like, if your battery fell out, the brakes would slowly apply to locked.

@Jer3myF: May be easier to do internal routing? Not needing to install a new barb/ olive and re-bleed if building a frame? Idk…probably not much of a problem for most.

Video: Frameworks vs. Raaw vs. Orbea - Editors Reviewing Each Others Personal Bikes
Minus the seat tube angle, it doesn’t look all that far removed from the RAAW, aesthetically. The Orbea on the other hand…that’s an ugly bike…if we’re having a fashion show.

@bikebasher: It could be, maybe. The run on the DH bike was very small. I think it was around 100 frames based on pre-order. Perhaps if they do a larger run on the trail bike, due to higher demand, maybe they can bring their costs down a bit by buying raw materials in higher volumes? Hard to say though, that is a really small outfit.

Kurt Voreis could probably give this guy a run for his money.

Propain Spindrift Frame Size Medium
$1500 USDPropain Spindrift Size Medium with very light signs of use. Frame protected with frame saver in all high wear areas.
Color of the frame is raw.
I’m 5’11” and this frame fits me well. That said, if you’re over 5’11”, this frame may feel small to you.
Shock is a Rock Shox Super Delux Ultimate that I put on aftermarket to replace the air shock.
FRAME SHOCK AND HEADSET ONLY. No longer selling with the fork because the last “buyer” seemingly ghosted me after I removed the fork and had the frame packaged for shipping. If you want the fork also, check my other PB listing and buy it separate.

Story Street Trials Bike w/ Magura MT5 Brakes
$900 USDThis bike is absolutely mint. I bought it thinking I would get back into riding trials but, I am too old and don’t have enough time to practice. I find myself riding my MTB’s way more.
The original purchase price on this bike new was 1600. If you’re looking to try out street trials and don’t want to pay full price for a top tier bike, here is your chance.
