OK – gonna try tuggin’ at the heartstrings.
Here’s the deal: My GF and I love riding bikes, like, a lot. My family has a ranch out in Big Sky Country™. There’s about a brazillian miles of gravel out there.
My plan: Aquire 2 old-school cool cheapo hybrids. Throw on some drop bars with requisite flair, some cheapo microshift “burr-riff-ters,” and fit the fattest, baddest knobbly tahrs I can, and haul two junker “suck it $5k gravel adventure titanium/crabon fibre plush-moblie” bikes out in time for the 4th of July. And leave them out in the country as the penultimate perennial MT-gravel-destroyers. I might even wrap the bars with this stuff.
Please help my GF have a bitchin’ time crushing epic gravel under the biggest blue sky on the planet by scrounging in your shed. I know you have a purple/blue fade Trek Multitrack 720 sitting under the lawnmower bag. (minor, $20) Premium would be paid for an ironically-iconic metallic green/purple fade Multitrack, or GOLD Specialized Crossroads. Because we’re both children of the 90’s.
Bring on the Acera X!!!! DO WORK!!!!
