^^^ Wow, won't be there but have been to Marlinton several times. Been to the Dirtbean (bike shop / cafe) that burned down - that place was awesome. And the Roadkill Cook-Off And hardcore downhill at Snowshoe.

I stopped by my powder coated yesterday and this caught my eye.




If I owned I would probably just clear coat it.

Then I noticed these treasures next to my Mathews Monoshock frame and Red-Line forks.

For the life of me, I don't know why the owner is having these powder coated. [img]http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads26/2023

So what are your plans for this, built and ride it or flip?
I offer my assistance either way.

Ha! Dirt bean has a new place where I get breakfast, but the whole town is pretty basic. I was just semi joking with my wife I need to take some antibiotics so when I get bit by a pitbull in some holler I can just keep on trucking.

Last time I was in marlinton, a guy I was hanging out with in the bar was waiting for his friend to get out of the local hospital after he broke himself downhilling at snowshoe.

Looks very cool. When I lived in Pa we'd come down with motorcycles and stay in Marlinton for a week using it as a base for riding in the area. Miss those trips.

Found it, checking in to that for you.

I've ridden Rt 39 from Warm Springs to Marlinton on the Duc and Beemer many times. BIG fun!

[LEAKYSEALS951]

^I just got back from that road. What a blast. I had a local dude in a pickup reeling me in. I was giving my xc70 everything it's got. Next time, I'm throwing the bike in the 911.

Outstanding interview with LeMond. Cancellara and Froome and others using motors (why were there 5-6 bike changes on a stage back then ... ) , Armstrong, Hinault, etc. And as always, a good reminder of my continuing boycott of the criminal enterprise called Trek who screwed over Greg in favor of their pet doper.

Can anyone ID these things I dont know what they are id like to sell them but cant find anything.

^^^ parts for a roof rack??

[LEAKYSEALS951]

Closest I can figure are an earlier version of yakima "big stack" sticks for kayak boat carriers.
Just a wild guess.

Edit- got it

Tonight- about to go in for the kill on tonight's debut ride of the trash can gravel-trek-shiki whatevertheeff' reveal. Panniers and all!

[porsche930dude]

Cool Thanks!! Here is my daily rider I found it on the curb about 15 years ago and it was pretty worn then. Got alot of miles on it now for sure.

One other possibility is that it is a adapter to mount a ladies bike on a older traditional bike rack.

If there's one thing I dislike about 911's, is that they've become an attention magnet.

That said, tonight, I had to chuckle, as I was admiring this newer stang' (I REALLY like this newer model- it really does have nice lines ),
I liked the color, the sound, the stance, the lines are sexy considering bumper height stuff, etc etc.... I really like it.
I took some pics, only to later realize....



The couple was checkin' out my bike!

Cant' make this #$% up.
Really folks...(Might not photograph well... but) It looks eff'n SWEET in person!

I liked the stang! But oh well!!!
On to this weekend's adventures!

I'm betting that lady and her man were in a bike shop soon afterwards

I think that is a very cool build, I don't know how you control it at speed with those handlebars but it is a 15 on the cool scale.

LOL- thanks. fwiw- It's sketchy above 25, but, only because I knocked the frame out of alignment when I hammered the chainstays in to get the cranks to fit from years ago. It's got a 102mm campy record bb and a q factor that pedals like road bike bliss, although, Let's say I've got some thrust angle alignment problems causing yaw issues.
