I'm really not a fan of the Gulf color scheme in general. It looks.... ok I guess on that bike, but not what I want.

Better call up some Bike Lines and see what they got on total closeout.

Trek just bought them all out.

I want simple decals and a simple color scheme.
Black with charcoal decals would be rad.

Friend's X-Cal is gulf blue. Looks 5/7 with the red, but it's not bad with orange, either. Wish I would have bought my CAAD10 in the gulf blue.

Although, you have shorts that would match that Yeti...

Also lame warranty. Also no Yeti dealers around here.
Next bike will probably be a Trek, Specialized, Giant, or Kona. There are Santa Cruz dealers too so maybe that.

Santa Cruz conflicts me. Their carbon bikes aren't as light as they could be, unless you go full :derp: for the CC models.

I'd love a Giant Trance Advanced 1 with the paintjob from the 2.

I really wish the Liv had a threaded BB. Wife's upset because the bike creaks, the car creaks... "why the fuck is it everything nice I have makes stupid noises".

I wasn't sure how to answer about myself, so I got a beer from the fridge.

I had a great line about the other side of the couch having a constant whining noise but I'd like to have sex sometime ever again.

I need to have her ride it after I cleaned it up last night, but I think it's going to be noisy again after a couple miles.

I'll probably call Guy's and try and schedule something with them next week after I deal with the car.

Test ride a Fuel 27.5 Plus and a 29. Likes the 29 more. The new fuel is pretty rad and more fun than the prior year. Still felt fast.

I liked the SRAM GX more than the Deore.
Rock Shox Sektor felt almost as good as the Fox 34 Rhythm GRIP.
Deore brakes rule nowadays.
Aluminum frames are light.

Bike was fun. Now off to test some Santa Cruz leaded carbon fiber.
