Maybe I'll find someone who appreciates me for who I am. Maybe I'll find a rider worthy of my stability and how much damn fun I am to ride on the trails. Its not that hard.Īnyway, maybe this is all for the best. I mean, come on, dude! Either be more careful, cover the hooks so they don't scratch, or use one of those step-stools. I bet the whole line about his wife making him get rid of me is only because he wants something else. Plus, the dude is so short he scratched me a couple of times putting me on the bike rack. I mean, he gives me these looks like 'sorry Sin, I'm going with the SStache again today' and then without so much as a goodbye heads out on a ride without me.

Well, let me tell you, he's no picnic to be around either. Imagine my dismay to see my soon-to-be-Ex rider has posted me up like some sort of cheap Mongoose you get from the corner of the bike rack at Wally-World. I was perusing the internet (from the garage, where stipey keeps me) and I stumbled upon this listing.

My loss is your gain. O 2018 Sinister Stache - Size M - $2250.00 newīicycle Blue Book has her assessed at $1449 (without upgrades), but I'll let her go for just $1,300. Otherwise, everything you see in the pictures you get, including the snazzy bar ends that seemed to have went out of fashion in the 90's but look really good on her. She's leaving the pedals with me because well, I like them and she figures most folks will want to bring their own since everyone has their favorite type. She'll come with the original dropper too in case you would rather drop it down low on the downs. She's bringing her Thudbuster LT (long travel suspension seat post) as she's grown fond of it and riders seem to like the way it makes her easier on the ol' backside. Not having rear suspension lets her really apply all that power you are laying down directly to the tires -no suspension bob with Sinister Stache! She hasn't been ridden much just 130 miles and she only has a few scratches from taking her on and off the bike rack (hey - I'm short and it isn't easy getting her up and over the hooks!) Other than that, she looks darn close to new. She is a bit on the heavy side but when you ride her you don't really notice because you are too busy grinning ear-to-ear. She really doesn't mind it out there, though. If you bring her inside all muddy and wet, she'll drip mud all over the place so you'll have to clean and dry her off or keep her in the garage. She's a great all-round bike and works hard to make her rider happy. Don't worry, Fred's ok but he never did get the tire marks off his jersey. Those 3.0' tires really inspire confidence and go over just about anything, including Fred. I'll give her a good bath before you pick her up though.

She loves to get dirty which shows in the pics. Speaking of those tires, they grip like crazy and give you some extra cush for the push. I love her, but my wife says that I have too many bikes (including Sinister Stache's older brother, SStache) so off she goes.ĭon't let her hardtail fool you she's incredibly capable and comfortable with her confidence inspiring 3.0'-wide tires and dialed in geometry. I'm looking for a good home for my 17.5' Medium 2018 Trek Stache 7 (affectionately called 'Sinister Stache' due to her wicked good looks).
