Default So what did you score at Jenson??

My group (me, my bro Jeremy/Spec Ed and my dad--my son also came along for muscle) did pretty well.

I got:
--2006 Manitou Travis Single 150 for $99.
--Sun Ringle STR8 front wheel with Ringle 20mm thru axle hub for $39.
--Kryptonite New York U-Bolt lock for $15.
--Set of Hayes 9's for $49.
--A few Fox Jerseys for $13.
--A SRAM 970 cassette for $30.
--Easton EA50 31.8 clamp bars for $20.

By bro Jeremy got:
--2007 Rock Shox Pike 454 Air Uturn fork for $200 (thanks to me, I grabbed it for him, now I'm kicking myself).
--Set of Hayes 9's for $49
--WTB wheels with Deore hubs and Hutchinson Spyder tires and 8" Hayes rotors for $99.

Also saw several STR peeps. Allison, Justin/Mechmann, Ann/___Spokes, Andy/Sprockethead, NOMAD and last but certainly not least, the one and only DINO BROWN!!!!! Dino, by the way, tackled and mugged my 11 year old son to get an Intense Uzzi frame. Many people saw it and all witnesses will be subpoened in the upcoming legal action

Just kidding, there will be no legal action. He really did tackle him though. It was great seeing everyone.

You have to stick around and be patient. Stuff just seems to show up. I got the Manitou Travis Single 150 fork and the Sun Ringle STR8 front wheel with Ringle 20mm thru axle hub at 11AM. We left around 10AM to get something to eat and came back. I got the fork and wheel then.

Is he alright, I was standing there being the company paparazzi and I heard a loud THUD and turned around and saw a kid all layed out. Then saw him pop right up as if nothing happened.

Hope everyone had a good time. So if you saw a guy walking around taking pictures that was me, and passing out water to those in line.

Oh yeah, he's fine. It takes a lot more than Dino to take him out

Now THAT'S a score.

I gotta prioritize this sale for next year; planned on going this time around, but the Path already has all my disrectionary income for the next couple months.

I got an Ultimate Pro Repair stand for $49 like new, but it has a couple scratches. I also picked up a brand new Truvativ external BB for $10. There really wasn't anything else of interest to me.

My buddy picked up a Bianchi 928 for $799. Retail is $2800, but we couldn't sell it because it had a chip in the clearcoat.

Bravo! You people should look into comedy writing!! Too funny!
As usual, the "Anti-Dino" Bash-Fest has gotten off to a flying start. Allow me to set the record straight:

1) I did not mug or tackle the kid. I thought Pac Man told the kid to "steal" the frame from me- so I played along. I allowed Junior to take the lead- caught him 20 feet from the bike! Never touched him.

2) If I had known his Daddy was planning on "backstabbing" me for the frame- I would have shouldered Junior into the pallet of Marzocchi forks!

3) The loud THUD "EVERYONE" heard was Junior slamming the FRAME fork and Diabolus stem into a shipping container!!!! He looked down when he realized what he had done! Ask him yourself....

4) When Junior "popped right up" as if nothing had happened---- it's because he knew what he had just done! It's all good!

5) Next year, someone should hire the kid to scoop items up for them. He is quick.... And his Daddy trained him WELL on what to look for!

Pac Man- As usual, it was good seeing you! Glad to have met Junior, your "Dad" and your buddy! Cheers!

Nomad- Good seeing you. Anytime you feel like setting up a ride..... PM me!

Special THANKS to everyone at Jenson (especially Jared aka Pakiha) for another wonderful event!

Jared and Jeff, were the hookup today!

Among other things, I scored a Surly Cross Check frame for a ridiculous price... should be a fun project.

Hey Jared, Thanks for getting this event organized this year. It was much better than last year, you and your crew did a great job! I'm assuming Jared was in charge cause everyone was asking him, "Where do I put this?"

Jeff was out taking video of us and keep us company when we were anxiously waiting for the sale to start.

We walked out with a bunch of clothes, jerseys, gloves, shirts, some Candy's, 50/50's, and I bought the WTB wheelset for $99. It was tough, once I walked in, I knew I wanted a fork and wheelset. After that, I was lost cause there was so much stuff laying around I couldn't focus. I walked over to one table, didn't really need the stuff and I was picking through it! I finally realized, Hey, I don't need this, I need to move on....too late, someone already snatched up something I wanted. Eventually, I returned the fork, it wasn't any cheaper than what's advertised online, Marz 66 RC2.

Good seeing everyonel PacMan, Hanzo, Shecky, Brewmaster, Shinken, and JasonMason. Hey Justin (klutter), where'd you go?? I wasn't gonna run, but once the tape went down, people were passing me and I was 2nd in line! Good Times! Thanks Jenson!

As usual, Dino was a guaranty of good times

I kid, of course. I didn't know Dino was going after the frame when I told my son to go grab it. Dino got there first and my son slipped while trying to stop and knocked the frame against the shipping containerDino is actually very good with kids and was the life of the party as I expect is the norm.

My "dad" is actually my step-dad, but I just call him dad.

The awesome thing about Dino, is he can dish it out very well, but he can take it too--a lot of people I know can't, but Dino knows it's all in good fun.
