Yep... I believe it's the Decoy Pro Race in the Black Magic color scheme. $6599 retail.

 

Looks like a Capra to me, the cranks don’t look aligned like the Decoy on that bike.

 

I hope you’re right and I’m just a presumptuous ass!

With your enlargement, it does look like a real bike...

 

I just want to make sure negative karma points are only given where deserved.

I’m also looking at getting a new bike so my senses are inflated.

 

Yup.....pedal bike....no motor needed.

 

Peeps in Tustin were luck this morning......

Not a sight many get to see......

Cool... I modified my original post to look like slightly less of an *******.

I’ll make up for it elsewhere...

 

But he still wasn't wearing pads that I can see, so...

 

Some of us have never worn pads.

I hope the dude is ok... And his friend, who apparently also got banged up.

 

True, and neither do I, but we all should on a trail like that.

 

A mountain lion was captured in Tustin this morning, on Ethelbee Way. The question is- how many imtbtrail homes are in this picture. Mine is.

 

I’m taking a vacation day.

 

The rain/hail knocked our internet out yesterday and it’s still out. So I basically got a sick day out of not being sick. Only joined a couple calls and caught up on a few emails.

There was a decent amount of hail up in Orange Park Acres yesterday. Stunning sunrise this morning from the Santiago Peak cams.

 

My company got hit last year.
$20 million ransom was the rumor.
I never did find out if it was paid.
About a quarter of our computers could not be recovered, took weeks to get most things working, some older systems have still not been recovered.
Many millions just spent on recovery.
Those things can be rough.

 

Happy 1987 everybody!

 

Final inspection on our kitchen remodel today! Close to a full year of process, and living through a six week job that ended up being six months. I'll seriously throw a party for y'all sometime this year... be prepared!



Here's the before (semi-gutted):


Documentation of doing manual labor:


Our kitchen moved into our living room. Lived out of a microwave and a hot pan for about four months.


And here is the completed job:


The new back door is going in tomorrow, and getting painted on Friday.

 

Very nice.

 

@Cyclotourist looks great and congrats to getting your NEW kitchen back!

 

In other news, let me offer a quote:

"This is a uniquely bad idea. Count me out. Enough is enough."

 

Today's nice thing:

Happy 99th birthday Betty White!

SHOCK IS COMING! Could be an earthquake, I don't know?

 

Maybe consult with the mainstream media?

 

It's like a grab bag.
Fox? Rockshox? Cane creak? Air, coil..legth, stroke...who knows! Might fit, might not.....but hey, if it doesn't fit force it. If it breaks it needed fixing anyway.

 

peace and love is here to stay
Now I can wake up and face the day
Happy happy happy all the time
Shock treatment I’m doing fine

gimme gimme shock treatment

 

Crazy that a $3000 trail bike is what passes for news-worthy value these days. But Chuck will sell a zillion of these:
