@stunt_bird @DocHammertimer lol. And candy bars. And dive bars. And pitchforks. And skidmarks ... but certainly the menstrual cycle is the king of puns.

@jash @DocHammertimer FYI if you’re looking for a good Instagram follow, “y2kbmx” is awesome. Pictures of 40 pound warpig builds with captions like “I need back surgery because of this shit” hahaha

@stunt_bird @DocHammertimer that is awesome. My heaviest bike before shit started trending the other way was a Standard STA with 48 spoked wheels. It was so cool and so inappropriately heavy for a 14 year old.

@jash @DocHammertimer those were fucking cool looking bikes, my shop had to be like no you don’t understand it’s so fucking heavy. Crazy that we were all desperate to get under 30lbs and now my MTB is under 30 with big wheels and hydraulic brakes and shit

@stunt_bird @DocHammertimer lol. I am constantly fighting my tendencies to bolt shit into my bike that does nothing but add weight and look cool.

@jash @DocHammertimer I desperately need an FS because of BMX-related knee problems and still the weight fight is so ingrained that I’m like “wait that adds like 2 pounds, get the fuck out of here with that”

@stunt_bird @DocHammertimer ha. Old habits. My mountain bike is rigid .... but it’s still heavy. It’s got 3” tires and a bunch of extra top tubes that are basically aesthetic

@jash @DocHammertimer I’m baffled at what era had the extra top tubes but could also accommodate 3” tires haha

@stunt_bird @DocHammertimer the Jones is a bike unstuck from time. It contains and belongs to both all and no eras.

@stunt_bird @DocHammertimer yeah. It helps with the being unsuspended. Makes it a lil easier to point it down something steep. As far as unjustifiable bourgeois luxuries go ... it’s pretty cool. 😎
