Bummer that the Mukluk doesn't have the Whiskey Carbon rims, but unless you can get an XO1 Mukluk, it's looking like the X1 version is going to be the way to go for you over the BG. I kinda like the BG look, but it's not my fav of the Salsa stuff. The brakes on the Muk are also a nice little step up from the BG. **BRENT** Edit: Looks like the BG tops out at 26x4.6" tires on an 80mm rim, so it may be a tight fit. You know you're good on the Mukluk, since it comes with D5s stock. It also will take 27.5+ wheels/tires, so that could possibly be a fun, rigid hardtail in the winter if you wanted to shed some weight... or you could throw the Warbird wheels on it with some 29er tires and that would work too.

Well, are you keeping the Fatboy or no? If you're keeping it, go BG (I thought this was OOS, btw). If you're not, then go Mukluk and then get a 27.5+ full squish for summer. You get to ride a BG and ML back to back yet? **BRENT** Edit: Really, just get the one you think looks cooler. If you go BG, make sure it will fit your studded Dillinger 5s. Edit2: It's X1, not XO1 on those. The Mukluk X01 is super sexy, IMO... but then again, I'm a sucker for black and blue.

So dumb re: Amazon. Call around to LBSes? Possible she could use some TNF or other outerwear like that, with just some other reasonably warm leggings. I've seen people around here riding in TNF pants, so figure there's some snow sport gear that would work until the cycling specific stuff gets in. Try Google Express too, they may could help you out. https://www.google.com/express/ **BRENT** Edit: See if a shop does an accessory discount when you buy the Salsa. Some of mine do 10-25% off accessories, which would get you set up for Amazon prices, get you on the CF FB, and get your lady friend all decked out. Also, with the CF FB you're looking at, I'm interested to hear the Dillinger 5 vs studded Dillinger 5 comparison.

Xavier got some Santini kit, and it's better than anything I have, but it's not cold weather stuff. I'd think Craft or Assos would be acceptably elitist. (Xavier also has Craft gloves, and they're treating him well in the temps we're riding in.) You already know how good the Pearl Izumi AmFib stuff is, and it looks like they do bibs with that, so another though if you can find it locally. **BRENT**

So I ran the numbers, and due to your time zone, it looks like you bumped a thread from the grave 6 years, 6 months, and 6 days after it was last utilized. That's fantastic. **BRENT**

But I thought your boyfriend was already going to be in NYC; why don't you just bring your daughter as well? **BRENT**

So here is Xavier's new kit he got for Satanmas, from helmet down to socks. He was so super excited, and I got one of the biggest hugs of my life when he opened this. An even bigger hug was a little while ago when I told him that if he gave me a large part of the $$$ he's saved up, I'd help him get a new road bike, since he's outgrowing his. Our goal is 1500 miles in 2017; should be an interesting year. Diamondback Podium 700c 46cm... which will be replacing his Diamondback Podium 650c, which fit fine in October, and now his knees hit the bars if he's not careful, as of November. I can't wait to get this thing here and built. **BRENT**

Right? That's my buddy's bike. He's pretty happy with it. Lynskey is based, and that frame was made, about 15 minutes from my house. Buy local, right? **BRENT**

Posteigh didn't pay the bills, so his forum, along with the dearth of information and ideologies therein, are no more. Therefore, we default to HC Default of Team Minimal, which follows the teachings of ca. 2009 @boomana, which is "have all the things, and make them the best things, but make sure you have one for the office and one for home, and don't forget the portable one." **BRENT**

Very un-Head-Case, but I guess it's better than nothing, no? Enjoy the vinyls! **BRENT**
