I can vouch that this bike was well taken care of.

If Jeff really wants to sell it, he should shoot a dimly-lit 3 minute ad in his living room talking about friendship.

 

Great idea! And hire some iMtbTrails Hooligan to do the monologue. hhmmmm...who could do that...

 

I had a 429c of that vintage, with Enve wheels, it was an incredibly stiff and smooth ride. Great climber. The geo eventually nudged me away as I was trying to ride harder stuff. A well conceived model despite the routing.

 

Or he could just show something aspirational... like someone crushing a trail riding this bike.

 

Wouldn't aspirational mean someone breathing really hard? Better take a video of someone climbing something steep and techy!

Fun with Latin:

Aspire: Breathe toward.
Inspire: Breathe in.
Transpire: Breathe across.
Expire: Breathe out.
Respire: Breathe again.
Conspire: Breathe with.
Perspire: Sweat.

 

They'll be doing most if not all of these if they Buy This Bike.

 

This is a top contender for post of the week

 

Circumspire:
To desire to have already done something (as opposed to wanting to do the thing itself); to want the end state of an action while avoiding the cost of the action.

Example:
@herzalot circumspired to stand on top of Santiago Peak, but a little thing called Harding Truck Trail stood in his way.

 

Circumspire: Breathe around.

 

Depends whether you are wearing a toga. Last time I tried, it got jammed up in my rear derailleur

 

Poke, poke...

I am aware of the difference between aspire and aspirate, but thanks for running with it!

And I think we should turn our attention to inspiring someone to buy Jeff's bike! Perhaps we could conspire to do so, before the offer expires.

 

Glad you took it as intended. All in mindless fun. I do that so well, don't you think? The mindless part, that is.

 

Retire:

 

Circumspire: breathing at a bris

 

Why? Did you get a flat, or are you dissatisfied with your current tires?

 

re-tire
retire
retired

Must say, derails never disappoint! I'm glad to know that we still have it.

Don't think I mentioned that both wheels on the 429 are set up tubeless!
But hey, I guess you can always "Re-Tire" it if you are so inclined.

The bike was purchased at The Path, and has been serviced by them since day one.

 

Hey All Y'all. Just a reminder this awesome bike is still available!

 

Hit up Paul B Schmidt. He's XL, looking for a used bike and SUPER reliable when it comes to following through on bike purchases.

(If you're lurking - sorry Paul - cruel but true).

 

Thanks! I'll let him know .

 

What's that weird silver thing above the chainring?

 

Not sure but I see them on a lot of road bikes.

 

Brave new world out there!

 

It's like a turbo boost. Push the button and you can go faster on the flats!

 

What will they think of next!?!?!?
