New bike time - suggestions?

[kten]

Throwing you under the bus? Lol. I've mentioned to a couple of people who know that I'm waiting on a Scout, that I had hoped/expected my frame before now, but its now looking like another 8-12 months.
If you think discussing wait times on bikes is throwing you under the bus, you're being a bit precious. Not having this conversation here, dude.

Just put some popcorn on for lunch. Did I miss anything?

i take mine buttered, and a little Himalayan salt, maybe a dash of icing sugar

Skip the sugar and we can share. Or I'll switch it as salted caramel?

Moorey on the other side of the counter [pic is old, had more hair back then]

Pole?

I can't comment on the newer models but my Pole Evolink has been fun and faultless.

George has an MTB in his apartment in that episode. Couldn’t tell what. I think manitou forks.
Edit. Early s-works apparently. Flog.

As seen in the Spesh shop in The Big Salad.

@moorey I'm more of a "Jerry's Klein" fan

I wonder if, as early adaptors of the sport and owners of rival brands, Jerry and George ever got into brand snobbery arguments and talked about the sole of the flow?

 

[moorey]

@Dangals can I suggest you check out the Revels at ORBO? In stock I think, and Felix absolutely loves his Rail, both up and down hills. @russthedog is great to deal with.

Wow, that Klein is just really nice. Too bad it looks like about a 13" frame..

Put us out of our misery !

I am having an internal fight about why I do not need to swap my sweet riding 2.8kg carbon Deviate for a 4kg alu P-Train that is the price of 2 frames... but that green

Surely this is the answer for OP.

Set of Yari's, a SRAM SX groupset and some knock off carbon wheels with Novatec hubs and it'll come in right on budget.

The perfect frame for a sub $10k AliExpress build

Yes, 4yrs old and made 10% more that I paid new

It's burning a hole in my pocket

There's something to be said with only having a budget for bikes that is about 1/3 of the average owner here. It takes all the stress out of what boutique bike to buy as I can't afford any of them.

One HSP bike is excellent.
Two HSP bikes is moah bettar!

Pfft. Try have a ‘used bike’ budget in the current Covid climate.

Yeah. My last bike was bought 2nd hand Sept 2020 and a great deal. Now is frightening...
