I finally got my new Barcode today. It sounds like sand is in the seat/chain stays, the tubes are closed so it can't come out. Anyone else have this issue?

If nothing else, just remember the day is about YOU. Act like it. Steal a gift, clog a toilet, tell the bride she's fat.

I wasn't really in the same boat, but I was getting hammered once every two or three weekends. I'd grab a beer with food if I went out to eat. The occasional beer after work. A social drink or two if I was chillin' at a friend's house. Also, being that I'm constantly playing gigs during the week, it was always super easy to have a beer or two in the run of a set.

I started doing strength and conditioning classes at a local gym back on March 21 which kind of gave me added motivation to avoid drinking. I haven't had a drop of liquor since March 19, and I feel fantastic. I've lost some weight, tightened up and gotten less doughy, and I have a lot more energy. I'm not off booze for good, and I'll definitely be getting shitty next weekend when I head to Toronto, but cutting it out for the past month has definitely been easy with the extra motivation of putting in work at the gym - a sort of "don't make the work you're putting in pointless by drinking" notion.

Plus, the gym hurts so goddam bad, and drinking a ton of water helps.

Weren't you edge?

I have an Odyssey Dirt fork from 2005ish and Poverty POW cranks from early 2000's. I just preorder a 2016 Barcode. Can i use my old cranks/forks with mid bb's and integrated headtubes? I'd rather buy just a bottom bracket and headset  instead of cranks and forks.

Seriously, Lewiston is a shit hole. There is not a single good spot to ride, place to eat, just stay away. Drive 40 miles north to Moscow, the park is fun. Spokane is about 75 miles north of that, look up the Albi and Hillyard parks.

I'm in Portland right now, but don't have my bike.

I've been thinking about this for months. I enjoyed it the past few years. Alex, if you don't organize it this year, you will be shitting on Santa's birthday.

Here's the ramps we had in our house back in the day.  It's a whole part but there's a large chunk of footage from the ramps.

I highly enjoyed that. Brought back memories of my youth and motivated me to dust my bike off.
