@ai6yr @ascentale @bikenite Nice to see that bike still in use. It was the first mountain bike that I bought when I moved to California. Probably purchased spring 1991.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. #BikeNite Not a photo from this week, but my brother has been scanning slides from my parents' collection and he just posted this scene from 1986, when we went to his graduation from UCSB. I only vaguely remember being there, but I definitely remember a massive amount of bikes in front of one of the dorms (Francisco Torres).

@ascentale @bikenite A1. #BikeNite Posting from Ventura County, California again. Every once in a while I search around to see if I can find my Pivot Shuttle MTB ebike battery for sale (darfon brand). This week I found a new one on ebay, so figured I should not pass up the opportunity. It wasn't dirt cheap and the battery is rare enough that I kind of doubt anyone would bother to make a counterfeit one, but we'll see. It arrives next week. My current battery is around 5 years old and has lost 1/5th of its capacity. It is still usable, but having a spare should increase the overall life of the bike, without having to resort to making sketchy modifications.
