i aint gonna lie to ya...

for the first time in as many years i almost didnt come to the plate this morning with post State CX championship banter of useless bullshit..

But..i thought how much in years past i loved single fingering punchin out a state championship post..hell this whole week was like Ts holy week...so after much internal debate....

i sat wringed my writs..drank another mouthful of liquid motivation..and grabbed my shit and slowly started to punch out this smell post..

• The Venue...on a scale of 1-10 it ranks in at 8 not over the top but not as boring as The Waterford worlds...good location..
• The weather its been nearly 10 years since the scene has scene a foot of snow..its not gonna happen this weekend as Ma nature is setting have her monthly ill for most of the day..its going to be a shitty day........

man the pre-reg list...........whew the 45+ race looks to be one with the most depth in it..Harrville, Goocher..and in the 11th hour the Lil Pony tosses in his hat..i would suspect Simon B couldnt resist another chance at getting another masters title..top 5 is in this field will be a solidly good ride.

where is Osgood? and McBride? 

The spoiler might be Gooch not sure if he has the ponys number but i wouldnt rule a podium

Masters 55+ wow..if seeing the names in there dont make ya feel old nothin will Craig Gietzan is going to take down good time johnny,,,,

The Elite race...........................................

what started off as in my opinion a going to be pretty exciting fall kinda laid an egg somewhere out there..First after Alma the numbers started slowly decrease ...go figure..than Yankums run towards national got mucked up somewhere mid October..The West Coast kids looked to be coming..then not..Junge cant stop racing but might lacks marginal gains to get in there..ScottyA after runnin himself ragged chasin UCI things wised up and called it a season....poof before you knew there was hardly anyone left...until

The RoadKing returns...whew Tom is on track to a record tying 3rd title only to be held by Das German..

Dont think for a split second Sorry aint close to the keys to the club house after riding away from his old rivals last weekend Tim is closer now than ever before......seems kinda odd to say that but shoot strangers things can..I soo much want to see this guy get it but man i gotta through the nod to Burke...

Junge..the kid is good and obliviously has the gift of youth behind him as well as some fat grip ..but in all do respect its a long shot...but i could see a whole pile of titles in all disciplines in this kids future 

Nate Dog..man..surprised to see him on the start list
 Sorry had his number back at Bloomer so ill put him fighting for box number three with Junge

Singlespeed...Junge and Earl show...

Lady Elites..............................
probably the most contended women's field in years....
Melissa Seymour two time defending champion...nuff said...Angela Webster is solid and could be the wild card...

You, 

you are so special

You have the talent to make them feel like dirt

Hoarders and Hemorrhoids

I was asked the other day why would someone want to buy someones old junk..

and quickly my friend replied....ya know you rotten old fuck...the saying.........

"one mans junk is another mans treasure"

well i guess he's right because i myself have been known to hoard a small collection of to some worthless crap...

i also pride myself but tell few how i once loved the world of Ebay.....

over the years ive scene quite a change in the once was a super bargain house for the
unwanted,
old and hard to find items...

anymore its now just become the Amazon for worthless overpriced junk....

but that in all im still drawn to it like a car crash..and find simple amusement in what still pops up there from time to time ..the little treasures folks seem to be hiding away but now are ready to cash in big...

Just like that there is sucker born every minute waiting to scoop the next soon to be valuable turd........or the one coveted thing a ma-jig they never had as a lesser person but now have the grip or use the easy to pay for 48 months payment plan....

dont like it???
who gives a shit cuz you as the buyer have all the rights and can send that hunk of junk back  no questions asked

So tonight i thought what the hell lets take quick look into the world of vintage mountain bike crap...its a place were the old unwanted 26inch wheeled bikes go pasture..but some still seem to find a huge value in them,
along few other completely dumb over priced shit..

selling for...8K...

what in gawds awfull hell is this seller sniffing

Ive been watching the value of these Klein for the last few years..and im still picking at mole wondering what in the hell is the infatuation for these sure they were cool looking and all the big tubes great paint and smooth lines.  great tight ass geometry..but too often they rode like a broken covered wagon..

get a flat on one and get ready to finish dead last with greasy mits and  ruined shorts trying to pull the wheel out of those dumb horizontal dropouts...

oh and you thought modern day internal cable routing was a pain the dick.


id be throwing tools at the first sight of this job 

yea all pass on this ride for now

• I don’t know man…

$225 is all im ponying up

Current Selling price $1800

I suppose when you look into the craftsmanship of this GT FS..i can kinda see the asking price..

But you gotta ask yourself    you gonna really ride this poor handling turd..?

seems like alot of grip to hang on the wall and stand back and shamy talk over

That Kore stem and that first edition  SDG saddle are worth rant all by themselves 

Id give $650.00

Current buy it now $89

seems pretty steep to me...

The Cinelli stuff has this weird following but i dont see almost hundred buck for a plastic sticker of soft core porn..hell you still gotta buy the solid chunk of aluminium to put it on 

god i hope the Evil Dude didnt pay full price for his chix..

whats it worth to me 7$

yours for $499

Im not not completely convinced i dont need this..

the elevated chain-stays..

that long ass top tube..and the 90s paint scream on your left KOMers  Rock and Roll is coming through..

the only thing that scares me is the effect of how shitty the brakes probably would feel..

My paying price 75$

CERAMICSPEED Oversized Pulley Wheel System – 

Just how many watts do you think you will save?  

• Is it worth $250 per watt?  
• That’s right, just 2.4 watts saved over your standard Shimano pulley.

Running SRAM?  We have a deal for you!  For just $375, Ceramicspeed will save you a whole 1.6 watts.  Now that’s what I call a whole lotta BULLSHIT…
