If i am going out to do a lot of trail cutting this saw just fits in my mountainsmith pack. The 18 inch blade allows for a long lazy cut. Pine is easy, the dead aged hardwoods take some time.https://www.lowes.com/pd/Corona-18-in-Pruning-Saw/1070921You are right. My limit is about 12" diameter. It is a busy time of year for maintenance.
Recently acquired this beauty! Any bidders?New bikes are all but out of stock...this makes the used market rediculous....if you have anything of value....sell sell sell...thats what we did. New bikes should be in this week. Stay tuned. HINT: Some will not epprove.
I don't know anything about Voodoo or this bike. Any idea how old it is?I have a Voodoo Dejab. It was sweet in the day and still climbs like a goat.
I'd say mid to late 90's. Can you get a picture of the other side with the drivetrain. The back of the crank and shifters look like Shimano Altus...a lower level group.I don't know anything about Voodoo or this bike. Any idea how old it is?

STX rear derailleur but an Altus crank (and front derailleur) . My guess is it was a $549-599 bike back in 96-98 range.
The Stingray is intriguing.Recently acquired this beauty! Any bidders?

The Stingray is intriguing.
Thanks Phil. That was about the time I purchased my K2 (Pro-flex) which IIRC was my first full suspension bike, it had a Norleen single spring fork. Wish I had a photo of that one.STX rear derailleur but an Altus crank (and front derailleur) . My guess is it was a $549-599 bike back in 96-98 range.
You need this....
But its already got a metal flake seat cover & I've always been more of a knobby guy. That Slik is slick though.You need this....

@Jersey Skier how is the bike shop doing? IIRC, you were worried about not being able to move your inventory. Looks like all the bike shops around here are entirely out of bikes now.... wishing they could get MORE inventory to keep up. I'm hoping that things went that way for you too and you were at least able to move what you had available to save your season. Also hoping that more supply arrives soon if that's the case.
Anyone else out there been to a bike shop lately who can report back?
Welcome back, we have been thinking about you.Been to busy to log in to Pugski for weeks.
Spring started out with my worst March and early April. Down about 60%. This quickly turned around as boredom set in to the quarantined masses. In about 3 weeks I sold almost every bike in inventory. As the bikes under $1000 sold out people continued to shop and make purchases that they never would consider under normal circumstances. I've sold $1000+ Gravel bikes to people who wanted hybrids because all the hybrids are gone. I've sold $2000 hardtails to tall kids because all the kids bikes were gone. On Thursday there was a Peaceful Protest across the street at the local municipal complex. I sold a protester an $1100 gravel bike to get home because Uber was stopped by the police barricade and couldn't get down the road.
While all this was happening(with doors still locked) I've had hundreds of repairs dropped off. My normal turnaround on tune ups is 2-3 days with maybe a week during holiday crunch times. Right now I'm quoting 3 1/2 weeks for tune ups and that might be optimistic. I have over 50 bikes that just have flat tires. Normally we do those while the customer waits, but when 10 people are dropping off bikes all at once we just can't stop to fix a flat. The pile just grows.
Suppliers are now out of repair parts and accessories so I'm not sure when we will come to a screeching halt. I've priced out storage containers to store the repair bikes in the parking lot as the shop and showroom are packed with customer's bikes.
The phones ring literally non-stop. People are just looking for bikes that we don't have and have no idea when we will. I leave the machine to deal with them because my answering the phone is just a waste of time at the moment.
Every once in a while miss the days of Winter when I can sit and surf the internet and worry about how I'm going to pay the bills. For now, it's Sunday morning before 7:30 and I'm heading to the shop to fix bikes with the doors locked. No reason to open on Sundays anymore as there are no bikes to sell.
My favorite is the protester who bought the $1100 gravel bike to get home. That's crazy! What a story. Trek Marlins, which all run below $1000, are being ordered in droves at the shop da man works at. It'll be interesting to see how many people get out on the trails on one and quickly realize they need more bike and either quit riding, or upgrade. (My daughter has one--it's a nice little tooling around bike, but I quickly can max out the travel on it, even locked out.)Been to busy to log in to Pugski for weeks.
