Cool! I just saw one in the wild yesterday, yellow orange fade, totally hot, and I told the rider I thought so. I admired the biplane(?) fork crown as he rode off.

That's a sweet ride, Fixed. You're bound to have fun with that.

Those are cool bikes. Great for riding across the bridge and doing some cruising in the headlands. I used to sleep in the headlands every night when i was a vagabond, It is beautiful.

I think about That often when I ride on Conzelman and pass the bunkers ,
how nice would be sleep overnight there and wake up and go ride . Did you ever hear the singing coyotes they sound to like ladies taking And the bridge also hums when it is windy . Almost makes me want an camper van to travel and explore beautiful NorCal as a vagabond too
Cheers my friends

So how is the Monster Cross bike? Is it a good compromise?

700c for pave, 650b for when you spend more of your trekking day on the loose stuff.

'All Road' does not mean one set of sneakers necessarily...

The guys at the shop I go to have NorCal mountain biking in the veins
You know no one has bikes now especially in the 56 range now ,i went for a seat bag this local guy named Kale makes they are really good .
I asked how long would It take to get a G.M. The guy said I have one ,I took It for test ride and said I will take it .with some modifications taking till next week .I paid for it yesterday .

i am looking forward to the air clearing (smoke everywhere)and taking it across the brides to Marin doing some of the trails that I have scouting out.
Cheers

Well that’s lucky! Looking at their website, I think a new batch just arrived.

I am looking forward to a ride report and photos, lots of photos!
