Thinking about getting some gears tattoo'd as filler between the octopus and top of the mask.

Their Haanjo Comp comes with Shimano 105 group set, alloy frame, 40mm tires, mechanical disc brakes, etc... Seems to be in line for $1600 if not a little steep. But if you can get it for half price, it seems like a steal.

This Giant bike of near equal spec is only $1250. Except this has aero wheels. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/tcx-slr-2

This Giant, for $2k comes with aero wheels, carbon composite frame/fork, upgraded SRAM component group and hydraulic disc brakes rather than mechanical. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/tcx-advanced-sx

I don't have one, but i'm a fan of Giant bikes. You get a lot of bike for the money.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like the Haanjo Comp is out of stock right now, but is $775. Might see if they get some more stock in. If not, I will look into Giant.

Thanks, it def turned out better than I had thought it would. Now just need some filler for the empty space between that and the top piece to make it have some more flow.

Was riding MTB on rail trail and had been training all summer. I had a goal of riding the C&O canal tow path from Cumberland MD to DC. 189mi. Tried 3 years in a row and every time something happened within weeks of my planned departure. Finally gave up. Was going to do it solo and unsupported in 3 days or less. Was able to do 60+ miles in training.

Here is the secret from a former Belgian competition racing cyclist !!!

Yeah , but I think that Lance had more than a cow ..

On a serious note ...I drove in the Belgian competition (in my youth) with the legends from today !
There was doping everywhere , and my natural vitamins were not strong enough !
Those guys rode like a motorcycle , and I was not bad in the top 10 and sometimes in the top 5 .
Sometimes people recognize me on the street , and so we talk from the sport of the past

Excellent tattoo job done, like it very much. How high is your pain tolerance level at this part of the arm?

Inside the crease was pretty rough, but I mostly am just texting people or looking up shit online and kind of just zone out.

Elbow/inside crease on other arm wasn't too pleasant either. It's mostly irritating during heavy shading getting stabbed in the same spot over and over with multiple different # needles (3, 4, 6 etc.).

My vote for the filler content.

That was actually my first choice, but i didn't want to get banned for posting a picture of a drawing of a penis growing out of the butt of a penis wearing a monocle.

From your lack of picture, i think you understand.

[UncleWede]

Man, were Billup still around, I bet he could draw you some cool filler!

[08njSTEP]

I vote for a coilover tattoo. Saw a calf tat that looked like suspension with skin peeled back. Was pretty cool.
