I think the Joker is going to retire.

See the La Costa crew Saturday morning. Is there anywhere somewhat cool to ride on Sunday?

Never tried the Moment Dave. That Joker seemed to be treating you just fine last week. I hear Turner makes nice bikes...

See you Saturday

The Joker likes to buck. I'm going to demo the Moment on Sunday at PQ. I'll find out how the Joker is really treating me!

unfortunately the CRANK BROTHERS JOPLIN ADJUSTABLE MOUNTAIN BIKE SEATPOST doesn't fit and the builder suggested against the Gravity Dropper Adjustable SeatPost. i was looking forward to that feature.

I haven't heard anything bad about the GD. Its actually a "one size fits all" fitted with different shims. I have heard a few thing about the Joplin being sent in for warranty. But, if your bike guy (Mike?) says to stay away I'm sure he has valid reasons.
I can't wait to see your new ride saturday...hmmmm....Nascar?!
Oh yeah!!! Nascar Baby!!!!!!

I already managed to crash on the Knott's Berry Farm (nascar) trail earlier today. My poor middle finger is swollen and stuck (up). The Joker could handle one obstacle that the Moment didn't like sending poor me over the bars. I was able to look behind me just in time to see my new baby fall hard on the rock. I did hit a rock section that I only attempted once before (and flew over the bars) with success.

I hope I'll be there in the morning.

Hope your finger clams down so you can show up in a few minutes. We want to see your new bike!
