Please stop it... 

I've been toying with going back to a steel SS trail bike for ages and seeing how rad all these look is making me want to sell my dual suss frame more and more....

The rigid fork/frame bundle and a 120mm trail fork option would just tick ALL the boxes. 

Does anyone have a picture of a Medium? I would buy the black one in Medium. 

 

Wow ... sounds like you are trying not to make any Rapide decisions here ............

This whole month has been... Expensive.

 

01/02: New Bike, Titan Cypher Dash. The first thing that I bought after I said I'd never spend that amount of money on a bike.

02/02 to 19/02: Small things to Pimp it out a bit 😎😜

20/02: Again, doing things that I said I'd never do, like spend R4k on a tiiiiiny Bike Computer, and Bought a Garmin 130+ HRM Bundle on special at Cycle Lab.

Next up, I'm going to spend more than I said I ever would on a Garmin watch.

In June a friend rented a bike at the local trails ... the bug BIT !!

 

He bought a very nice looking HT bike ... "recently serviced" .... I ended up doing a total rebuild and using a lot of spare parts to fix the bike ....

 

3 months later he traded it in and bought a second hand full suspension .... 

 

January he traded that in on the new Scott Spark .... VERY nice bike !!!

 

 

And yes, the shoes, pedals, computer, etc all added up ...

 

 

Deep rabit hole ... 🤪

 

 

Allen welcome to the club

[AllenH]

I forgot about the shoes, shorts and other goodies 🤣🤦

I really needed this sport/hobby and glad I found it.

 

Thanks for the Welcome and advice 🥂

I'll happily throw some fuel on this fire with my rigid steel steed. Not singlespeed (although I am toying with the idea of getting a SS kit for it, or getting a SS road bike). 

 

Do it! All the cool kids are doing it, don't you want to be cool?

That's why I'm keeping 12 gears on the rigid steely and also my dual sus bike, like to have options ....

Was going to buy a new bicycle, but my current mileage doesn’t justify it. 
 

So spent half the money, and bought something that I have been wanting for ages….

Those who know me, know that my true passion is motorbikes.

Dude I just 🤤 a little.The single sided swing arm on the MV’S are just so hot.  Have been having the same thought lately ✊🏻

Many safe miles 👍

Just some back story..... Below are some of the bikes I've had over the last 10 years and regret selling..... Hence my reluctance to admit I always had EXACTLY what I needed
