Just picked up this bad boy. I’ve had my eyes on Norco’s Range and Sight models for a few years now, but they are pretty hard to find locally. eBay is also very sporadic and usually they are located in Canada, so shipping stateside is an issue. But I finally found one and the price was …

2014 Intense Carbine (2016 updates)
Unfortunately, I lost some posts to my blog during a recent server switch. It used to have some ramblings about switching to 27.5/650b wheels, but that update got lost, so I’m posting about it again. TL;DR, I went 27.5 not long after I cracked my 26″ Ritchey carbon rim in my other Carbine post. I never ended …
’97 GT Lightning Titanium
Another day, another Titanium GT! I just can’t seem to be able to pass these up when I come across them. The Lightning was only made for two years in 1997 and 1998. They were built in Asia (Taiwan most likely) of [US] Sandvik ti tubing. The geometry is identical to the US-made Xizang. Apparently …
Vintage/Retro/Classic! Specialized RockShox Judy FSX Replacement Fork decals
I sell these on eBay, but I’ll cut them out and sell directly and give you a little discount if you buy from me direct for $11.00 USD (you save $1.00!) Apparently SRAM thinks my decals are TOO GOOD! They had my listings removed on eBay after almost 10yrs(!) of selling these to support the …

DT Swiss 240s 142x12mm Rear Hub/Axle Conversion
Since I’ve decided to stick with 26er’s for a while, I decided it was worth it to switch the rear hub of my Ritchey Superlogic carbon wheelset from standard 135mm QR to the new 142x12mm thru-axle design by Syntace (aka X-12). The cool thing about the Superlogic wheelset is that it uses de-badged DT 240s …

2012 BMC SL01 RoadRacer 54cm
Even though I don’t really ride my road bike much, I still wanted to keep it around for days I couldn’t do a full MTB ride. I came across a great deal on this new ‘12 BMC RoadRacer with 105 Group on eBay and took a risk in being able to sell my old frame …
2014 Intense Carbine
This is the new 2014 Intense Carbine! I discovered a molding defect on my Carbine SL when I attempted to install a dropper seatpost. The seattube had some very deep grind marks in the tube: It’s my opinion that Intense (or whomever manufactures these for them), preps the tubes a bit and somehow created these …
2013 Intense Carbine SL – 17.5″
OK, I think I have a sickness. I’m addicted to bikes! The Carbine SL was always at the top of my list, but the price was just outrageous. $2800 for the frame alone. That’s just crazy talk! But when I heard that Intense was closing them out at $1599, well, I had to consider it. …
How to find out the Best Offer accepted price in an eBay auction
Ever wondered what price a seller accepted a Best Offer at on eBay? Well, if you use a desktop browser to view past auctions, eBay won’t show it to you. eBay simply lists the original selling price with a slash through it and a message “Best Offer Accepted”. But I stumbled on a way to …
