Hard call. Does the bike fit you? Is the drivetrain in good condition? If these two questions are yes then you might be onto something. Worse case, you should be able to turn around and sell it and get most of your money back. Could be worth a try if it fits. I'm no expert, just my .002 cents.

Spring Break - Lake Havasu - April 9-13, 2012 Last week was our Spring Break and we decided to head to Lake Havasu to meet some friends. This would be a first time for me and I wasn't sure what to expect! The Moonlander was on the back. Here is an overview of Havasu Springs Campground...

One Hour - April 7, 2012 Wife said "You have one hour". Quick jaunt up to the Boy Scout Kiosk. Down the backside, I rode a section of the old hiking trail for something new. To the top in a record time 18 minutes 5 seconds from the house. Not bad. Distance 5.9 miles Elevation 877 feet...

To the In-Laws, April 6, 2012 Used the Moonlander as a one way commuter to the in-laws house. I needed to pick up the motorhome to see if it still ran. Its been sitting for a couple of months. Threw the bike in the back and proceeded to run some errands. Distance 10.1 miles Elevation...

Back to the Ranch - April 5, 2012 Back to Daley Ranch today. Several cars in the parking lot but once out on the trails I was pretty much alone. Starting the climb to the top. The flowers around here are just starting to take off. A couple of sections were hike a bike. Ridable, but...

Thanks Nathan, I might take a road trip with Ethan to look at these shops.

Very Cool. So how does the Alpacka feel with the mountain bike on it. Any concerns with flipping over. At some point I hope to get one of these rafts.

Well Done! Don't worry about making it all the way without walking. That will come with time. For now consider it an adventure and just have fun! Looks like an interesting place to ride. I'm just guessing, but it looks like it could get pretty windy up there. Keep the photographs coming...

Coast Ride - April 4, 2012 Today's ride was down by the coast. Pretty casual, explored a few side trails and looked at a few bike shops for Ethan's new ride. Got to love the size of that sewer pipe. Ended up on this Coastal Rail Trail. On the way back the tide was just starting to...

Ha, give me a week. You jogged my memory. In the post above I was talking to Scott at Porcelain Rocket. Not the other company. I'm going to email Scott so I can get put on the waiting list. Thanks

Houston we have a Problem, April 3, 2012 Riding home yesterday, I noticed an increasingly loud sound coming from the cranks. I thought it was the pedals as they do this every so often. Once home I took a look and sure enough my bottom bracket had about a millimeter of play in it. Uh oh, I...

Thanks for the positive comments. I'm having fun and I think it is beginning to show. Post up when you get a Moonlander. I'd like to see a photograph of it cruising around Florida. Yes, the cat is out of the bag! Hi Surly. All send you a PM. It could be a long explanation. Welcome to...

Hidden Valley Bicycle - April 2, 2012 Nathan and his new Mirraco Bike. He is pretty jazzed about it. As soon as his elbow has a better range of movement, I am sure he is going to be all over the place. Todays ride lead me over to Escondido. I am now in search of a bike for my oldest son...

Hello Sinuhe, I am sure the Needles District would be incredible. Hopefully someday I will get out there. Now Malibu is a little bit closer. PM me if you would like to ride. Or give me a starting point for Malibu and a direction. I am starting to look outside me local area. Everything is...

Night Ride - April 1, 2012 April Fools Day, also known around our house as Nathan's Birthday. So with all of the happenings around the big day. I chose to get out after everyone else was a sleep. The fountain in San Elijo Hills. Tonights shots were taken with the Panasonic Lumix. The night...

Love the bike. Thanks for the positive comments on the pictures and Yes the iPhone works very well. The long scenic shots are taken with the iPhone and the app. Pano.

Critical Mass - March 30, 2012 Well it was the last Friday of the month and that means it is Critical Mass. I had such a good time riding around San Diego last time that I just had to go again. Here is my downtown tour guide, Miles my brother. The tour started with some fun single track...

Thanks for the heads up on The Path. Well I am sure there would be some awesome riding down in Baja. I need to get back down there. It as been way to long.

565 photographs are cached so far. As far as staging the camera. I think this is one of the better angles for the GoPro. I am getting a lot better at doing it. For the most part I can predict were I need to get the shot and sometimes simple stop before the action. This allows me to make one...
