FIRE SALE



I have been on a freaking roll lately selling stuff.

I've ditched two mountain bike frames, a fox suspension fork, a set of crossmax mtb wheels, a set mtb wheels with king hubs, a 3 generations old grouppo of xtr stuff. Some of that thru flea-bay and some of it thru various online forums, some carbon bits and USED tires have gone recently as well. I have way too many old mtb tires but you wouldn't believe that some of the old shit brings more than the new shit from all the old school mtb retro grouches.

Next Next up, a custom Parlee Z3C frame and fork!
I won't tell you how much I paid for that bitch. And I haven't figured out how much I want for it yet. I bet it does not have 500 miles on it. It's bad when you buy a bike that is too nice to ride.

But you can rest assured that no roadie boob around here wants it. They all want madones and tarmacs. Hot shit I tell ya. Just ask Dat Bike.

You may ask yourself what the assassin is going to do with all this coin????

I want a Regulator 32, my wife wants a sailboat, i want a new rifle (time to stock up on weapons and ammo,so i've been told), wife wants a new sofa, i want a new big phat 52" tv, honey buns wants new carpet.......and on.

Which leads me to wants vs. needs.

I don't need any of the crap I just mentioned. With the robust economy we are in right now it probably ain't the right time to be buying that big ticket item.
I didn't need the lot "we" just bought. Too late now! I'm hoping land will hold value better than my IRA but I just read where home value's are at a 5 year low......sweet.
I also didn't need the custom ti funky bend bars that I ordered last week, but I ordered them anyway.
The way I have it figured, the capital gain taxes are about to go thru the ROOF!

Hey man,
Birmingham would welcome you with open arms. I can't believe you have lasted as long as you you have in Stinktown. The town, the attitude, the vibe, and the cycling sucks down there. I feel like we can find you a job up here. Might not be for much $$$ but at least you could sleep at night.
