It seems like bike vailab ility might be coming back. Sllllooooowwwwwlyyyyy though. I had a look at Specialized during Black Friday. I was thinking of a raod bike, anything I wanted was gone.

I did find the S works Enduro frameset I wanted at shop in California. Now I'm just waiting on the UPS driver. And wondering/hoping I'll be able to find what I want to build it the way I want. Which I really haven't figured out yet.

I've been fighting the urge to buy a new moto. Fortunately, no Triumph dealer support here is helping with that. I really want the new Tiger.

Been loving the e bike, but missing the traditional ride, so I decided to start a new project. This just just arrived today from Fanatik bikes, and so far I have to say their customer service is stellar.

This will be my first build from frame. Done a lot of slow builds by upgrading, but never a frame up.

I;ve been wanting to upgrade my Levo, and well, Specialized just put their Stump jumpers on sale. Ordered up a Stumpy Evo Expert as it has exactly the drivetrain, suspension and brakes I wanted, and I got the whole bike for pretty damn clos to what I would have paid for all those components.

Straight across parts swapping will downgarde the expert to comp level, and I'll have a bike for the thrashy/muddy days. And something for friends to ride when they visit.

I would love to have a super suspension but do get a buzz from riding my hardtail (less than $1300) and putting miles on every summer .... I love tech and nice stuff but never can see myself going over $2K on a bike, ever.

Great thread!

I think this belongs here.
S-Works Stumpjumper (2018), 29” Industry Nine Carbon rims, Hope enduro brakes, and a few other little goodies. Yes, I understand gear addictions.
