I thought I heard someone in the other room say thisI think this is the good thing about working with headphones on… sometimes you hear things. Like this, I could swear I just heard someone in the other office say “Back to Fallopian tubes”. They didn’t say anything even close to that, but gave me a giggle.

Product of the dayI have confirmation from a reputable source that this is cute.

Summer Bike Launch: Our versatile and much-loved Weekender platform shows the quality of its stripes again. The touring-inspired Weekender was designed with the idea that a bike that you can ride on epic adventures would also be comfortable for daily rides. Weekenders have quite literally ridden around the world, and are also happy to enjoy everyday rides (even on the weekdays). This Weekender Nomad MX build loves to monster truck its way over a wide variety of terrain. 2.1” wide Maxxis tires, 4” tall BMX bars, and crisp SRAM 11-speed shifting all married to the stout Weekender frame is a simple recipe for fun riding!

The Weekender Nomad MX in Gloss White is available now as part of our Summer Bike Launch.

My Weekender has turned into a jumbled mix of part

My Weekender has turned into a jumbled mix of parts over the last couple of years, but I love it. It makes me happy every time I ride it. I’m aware that reading a post proclaiming love for a product on the same feed that makes the product isn’t worth much. Still, it is sincere. This collection of mismatched parts, things I wanted to try out, see if they would fit, bought on a whim, or reinstalled after an experiment gone wrong, has landed on a rig I see no way to improve. Of course, there are more expensive and fancier components I could put on the bike, and our new Rockitship is just around the corner, but my Weekender will keep going.

The Oldman Mountain front rack is so handy for grabbing a bag of groceries or ferrying my laptop, U-lock, and sketchbook to work at a coffee shop (and a parking spot for my helmet while I run inside). The rear rack is handy when it rains to hold my waterproof laptop bag. The MX-4 bars and BMX stem make the bike match the riding position of my mountain bike, which I’m most used to. The Schwalbe Super Moto X 2.4 tire is absurdly big on the bike, making cornering on this commuter a lot of fun. There’s even enough grip to pedal the bike out on the occasional mountain bike trail. I switched out the drivetrain for the GX Eagle one that comes on our Elevator for big hills. Odyssey levers on the bars feel like a reminder of my BMX home.

Weekenders are fun bikes to mod, add accessories to, and, most importantly, ride on any occasion. Mine brings a smile to my face on every ride and I hope one can do the same for you.

A fresh Hareraiser for @tajlucas.

This is a large sized Hareraiser frame dressed up with my favorite DJ parts. Odyssey lever and a mechanical brake (because I know how to work on those), Odyssey Thunderbolt DJ cranks, Chromag stem, Spank wheels with some deluxe spray paint, and Crank Bros Stamp 7 pedals.

I’ve been riding my DJ a lot lately. Really fun to get myself into the air again.
