New Bike Day 🎉

The money pit finally made it home today! Can’t wait to take it out for more than just a spin around the block (even though that was super fun in Race mode).

Big shoutout to First Mile Cycle Works for taking a lot of boxes and turning it into 55lbs of fun.

That is sexual. Enjoy.
One day when i grow up I might be able to afford one....

Argh! Unfortunately, that NBD glow was crushed last night…literally ran one lap of my neighborhood street, plugged in the bike for the ride I planned to do in the morning and then took a look at the rear shock settings…all looked good so I sat on the bike to get a feel for where the lockout toggle was on the new shock…I flipped the toggle from Open to Lock and the detents felt weird; very loose and when I went to flip it back to open the toggle dropped into my hand.

So yeah, that was a total WTF moment…so its back to the bike shop and wait to see what they can do.

I continue to be floored by how amazing Crestline’s customer service is…literally sent the above note to Troydon via email just after I posted the above and he called me on my mobile in less than 15 minutes (I didn’t even ask for a call just advice on how to get it fixed) and is sending me a full replacement shock to swap out.

Finally got Sweet 16 (of 35) out for a ride — thankfully the lockout was in the open position when the knob came off.

The ride was crazy...definitely feel like I got what I paid for. Only had time for a quick 8 mile gravel loop but I was grinning like a fool the whole time.

I’ve experienced the same service from Crestline, Troydon goes above and beyond for his customers.
