er, ah, sorry, don't know where that came from....
...where did the dt go? (full or frame?)
If frame, you doing a full swap or got somethin up yer sleeve for the Chili ?

I know, right? Should I even be allowed to post here anymore? Maybe we should see if I float first before the burning at the stake.
Sold the DT as complete (other than the dropper post and the Avy'd DHX which I sold separately). Parted out the 5 Spot (frame just got shipped out today to its new owner). Chili will be a completely new build. I sold off all my parts for both bikes and am (essentially) bikeless now.
Won't be too happy if I'm still bikeless come Spring though.

I have a Chili sitting here in the cold/snow of Squamish doing nothing while I am skiing.........
I feel for ya - honest - I have been bikeless a few times while waiting for a new Knolly - as you know it is always worth the wait.
I don't think I could go bikeless - ever. Very impressive Krob. Can't you get a different color now and just repaint down the road?
Waiting for a bike or bike parts doesn't bring out the best in me, so I need something to focus on. Though my biking patience has improved over the years but not to the point of normalcy. I only know one person who is neurotic as me when it comes to this....

Well it does help that my area looks like this and there's nowhere to ride and my doctor told me I was going to have to avoid riding for the next two months (seems excessive) anyway....
I guess it's not fair to the old trusty HH100x and the KTM to say I'm "bikeless".... but yeah, it's tough.

great view - time for Knolly to make 4x4 fat bike for these conditions!
I sold my DT this weekend as well. For a soft market it went quick... I only had it on Pinkbike for a week. It worked out though....My day glow Chili came in on Friday and sold the DT on Saturday!
I hear knitting is good way to pass the time.....especially if you are bikeless in the spring.
I only know one person who is neurotic as me when it comes to this....
I remember when a certain guy that we all get parts from told me that he was tired of having to overnight parts to this guy the second they came into his shop. But I wont mention that person.
Worst post of the day...I am meeting the DR in the morning to discuss the same "minor elective procedure". Guess I will have to ask how long off the bike. I was thinking a week or two not two months!
Ouch..had that done a while back. Really not that bad, just make sure you sit on the couch for at least 2 days with ice on it. Don't think you are feeling good and decide to go do something physical, you will end up with boys the size of grapefruits.

the first surgery isn't so bad. the 2nd one after the unexpected 4th kid is much more painful. the surgeon decides he needs to help the separation of the vas a little bit with some tugging and it's not the good kind
I won't even tell you what happened to me when I had it done. Lets just say that was the last time - ever - someone is getting anywhere near my nuts with a knife.
As far as the waiting goes, I've been there (recently - waiting for Podiums last year) and even though it's cliche the wait really is worth it. Those team orange frames are going to be beyond sick.
Did you sell your 2009 Marz 55; or are you going to have Craig give it new life and use it for your Chili?
Yes, Craig has the '09 for measuring etc (although I haven't heard anything from him). I sold the 2011 RC3 that was on the Turner.
I'm debating whether to spring for the AVY cartridge and use it for the Chili. It would need more than a cartridge though. The bushings are sloppy and it leaks a bit at the compression knob on the lower fork leg... and of course it's starting to look kinda beat up.
The new Chili deserves better. Had I not sold the 2011 before hearing about the 55 AVY cartridges I might've held onto it for the new build though.

Yeah man, when I got mine done I thought I was out of the game for weeks but I was playing sports a week later. Although it might be wise to lay off the twenty to thirty foot drops for a few weeks.
PS. I could mail you the special support system for the boyz the doc recommended. I only wore them for like five or six soccer games.
... time for Knolly to make 4x4 fat bike for these conditions!
Every winter about this time I threaten to buy a fat bike. My buddy got one recently and I'm going to have to borrow it to see what all the fuss is about. See if it really works any better on the snow than my regular tires.

look, i like you guys and all but htis **** has crossed the line. i respect your and appreciate your personal lifes but ouch, im drunk and you all talking about a knife to the nuts is a serious buzz kill! i ain't got no damn kids because if i did there would be no way in hell i could afford a knolly. I'd be on a 38 lbs Kona telling you all that it was nuts to pay more than 1200 bucks for a bike. you *****es be trippin! so glad i'm not that guy..... I am sure kids are great and all, but my motto has always been that kids are great as long as they're someone else's, i got knolly to buy! .... seriously mean no disrespect to any of you, i am just drunk and trying to lighten the tread. i have mad respect for any of you trying to raise a child in this world. best of luck

Fat bikes are just stupid fun in the snow. And a crazy amount of grip. Take a spin on one if you get a chance.
And good luck with that other thing
Taiwan could probably TIG weld a ham sandwich to a dictionary these days, but its been a while since they were doing brazing.
Guess I will have to ask how long off the bike. I was thinking a week or two not two months!
Yeah, based on the responses in that other thread that's what I was thinking too. Imagine my surprise when he said three months when I asked him how long off the bike.
He must 've noticed the look of shock and horror on my face when he said that because he quickly ammended it to two months..... but sitll, that's crazy talk there.

I think you missed the point Pete. We're trying to avoid having (more) kids by taking a knife to our nuts. We're with you on this one. Now go back to your whiskey.

Saw my Dr. for the same "minor elective procedure" yesterday. He said at least a week most likely two off the bike. Just listen to my body. If it hurts don't do it.
Just a pick for Krob to show that a Knolly can be complemented by a fat bike very well.
And to get the focus away from something I still need to have done and don't want to think about.....
I ended up getting a raw and with the intention of having it powder coated later. That was back in the end of october. The eta at that time was december. Hope u get to ride soon
Yeah, raw is my second choice and they are in stock now so if things drag out too long for the team orange I may cave .......but for now I can't ride anyway so will hold out.

Besides, if you get a raw, you can really do a custom job.
