Oh snap! I just realized I can't messenger her, I can only follow her account. Hopefully she'll see my post on the other guy add and get back to me...somehow I can see this thread will keep rolling for a while though...

Next off the Island.
She texted me her number, we’re in business…I think. I was just a little surprised that she would text her phone number to a stranger just like that. Sounds like nice people. Finger crossed.
You got vouched by Vreeland, I guess this means something. You know a friend of a friend.

She's from Idaho. They're cut way different than we are. I raced Fat Pursuit with her and her husband Mike. She was a volunteer the rest of the years. Legit good people.

I’ve met a lot of really good people here in NJ, mostly through this website, but honestly if I had a job lined up over there I would gladly move to one of those states.

I always feel that way until you want to drive to an REI or something and it's 6 hours away 🤣

To be honest do you really need to drive to REI for anything? If so, what better excuse for a little adventure...BTW, I just paid for the fork, thanks for hint. It was a little more than I originally wanted to pay for but it was starting to be painful for no reason at all whatsoever, had to have it. Goes in the rest of the Salsa forks collection!

On a side note, I'm going to be building a set of 27.5" x 80mm fat bike wheels soon, peasant edition (Hope Fatsno + Muletfut 80) and will be updating the 26" with DT Swiss Big Ride hubs soon after I get those installed on the Mukluk. Again, for no reason at all whatsoever, just helps me cope with life.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
They gonna make a movie about this search/transaction

@seanrunnette will narrate it

What if it gets lost in the UPS/FedEx/USPS stratosphere? Has a sequel written all over it

Dog ate my fork?

I also feel there is a chance to teach combinatorics here.
GIven 5 frames, 8 wheel sets, and 7 forks, how many different bikes can I build?
Assume wheelsets must be applied to same bike at any time for OCD reasons.

;)

You guys need to let me know when somehow manage to spitball my threads into something...

I don't think the story has enough depth just yet, I was hoping for a chance at a spin-off when a cheap all-in-one-shot hydraulic brake hose cutter I bought ended up in Los Angeles after being shipped to me from somewhere in the NYC area mid December, but that died as well this morning when they offered for a free second unit (I see a blip of life in arguing that the second is not free since I paid for the first one that never showed up, but gave up after re-reading the message started 'Dear Customer, we're glad to serve you...'), offer that I accepted.

combinatorics? I will need a pie chart for that...

The correct answer is...5.

bringing the logic
I guess it's hard to build a bike without a frame so there's the logic. Also if @jimvreeland says that it must be true , you could with that argue but you would be wrong.
