That's right xxl that's one more X and what's better iys completely unused and new. 3 years down the back of that shelf!

 The helmets are good

 @browner: you have way too much time on your hands

 I thought the 4% off the packs was the bad one from them ????

 $6900 ? What a deal!!!

 @bizutch: you could find one used on here for $3000

 @Krzymndyd: To be perfectly clear...I have not and will not EVER pay $3k for someone's sloppy mountain bike seconds. I will always start from new and thrash my through a bike's imperfections. Not ever going to trust someone else to have "babied" or "rode twice but needed a bigger size" or "shop floor model".

My money will go to something I put all the miles on from day 1.

 @bizutch: totally get you but I get 2-3 new bike every couple of years some get ridden a couple of times some get ridden a lot. $9k bikes end up selling for $3k after 2 years. Just saying

 @Krzymndyd: yeah, the hard part of the $9k for $3k is trying to unload it when you're done with it and looking for the next new rig. When I used to race, even with all the deals we got, we'd have $2500-$3000 in on a bike that was brand new $6k. And at end of race season, we'd list them for $3k, get $2500 & try to flip that into the next season's bike.

And at the time those were the most high end bikes...

 @bizutch: I agree the amount a bike will drop in price after just 1 year is insane. I sold my 2017 reign advance 0. $8,400 with tons of extras for $3000 after 16 months. And I had a hard time selling it for that. Now I have a 2019 reign that I want to get rid of but will take another hit on it

 These cranks break easy, but they won't break the bank!

 (I don't actually know if they break easy, but I thought that was funny)

 @skills25:
Yeah they break... ask me how I know?! Lol

 @ytjodave: how do you know?

 Theese cranks took out Gwin at the pro grt at mountian creek this year. He runs the cheeper alloy ones now @bizutch:

 @bizutch: I broke a 5 month old set last Monday. Check out my most recent photo uploads.

That being said, I did have a new set of cranks the same week Thursday and ride Friday.

On the same subject, my e*thirteen BB, which was also only 5 months old was shot. Drive side bearing was seized and the non-drive wasn’t far behind.
Not a fan.

 @ytjodave: that sounds more like feedback. Original post just sounded like hyperbole. Thanks for clarifying. Just assumed we finally got past the mid-2000s FSA bending crank debacle years ago

 That’s not from We Are One directly it’s from Calgary Cycles.

 garish color designs included at no charge

 @bizutch: haha, so true and I love Intense (have current M16c and 2019 Primer). But damn, it's like Stevie Wonder was given a colour palette to do the paintwork on the new Primers. I'll hold out a season in hope that Intense releases something us people with working eyes can buy.

 How should Gwin finish his house?

 @SimonD: I hate to be critical of them because Steber gave me my 1st grassroots deal & personally worked on my bike at Nationals. Just that I've clicked on them a ton in the last few years wanting to pull trigger but can't get past a lot of the graphics.
