I'm putting a Bullmoose handlebar on my new Hunqapillar. Using the bike for

Southern California the other 50% of the time. 

Would appreciate any and all recommendations for a pair of grips.

Re: [RBW] Helpful resources for building a bike at home?

[Max Bergen]

Thanks everyone! 

I'm familiar with assembling and installing most parts on a bike (except BB 
and derailleurs), but I feel much more prepared after you all have shared 
tips, advice and insight from your personal experiences. 

BTW, I live in San Diego. I'll be building the bike with my buddy the first 
weekend in April, but if anyone here lives in the area and wants to help 
out/hangout eat some pizza and drink beer...let me know. 

Cheers, 
Max

starting tomorrow. 

DM me if interested!

[RBW] FS: 2014 52cm Surly Straggler - 700c wheels - Black - Very Good Condition (8/10)

[Max Bergen]

Moving out of the country and selling a couple bikes. Figured this 
community would appreciate this one... 

2014 Surly Straggler in very good (8/10) condition! 

Regularly serviced at Bicycle Sport Shop here in Austin; disc brakes stop 
on command, all the components are super clean and the frame is still just 
as solid as the day I bought it. 

Selling as a stock complete (tiagra components, no pedals, seat). $1300 
includes packaging and shipping in CONUS.

Thanks!
-Max

[RBW] Re: Can we talk about Riv bike sizing again?

[Max Bergen]

FWIW, I've been working with Roman to place an order for a Hunq. 

My PBH is 83.25 and he suggests either the 51cm for 2015 model or 50cm for 
2016 model. 

Both those are smaller than any bike I've ridden in the past, but I trust 
their product knowledge and experience  :)
