BRO!!! I'm in the shot at the start line at 6:05 & at 7:02 passing you right when you mention people trying to pass lol!! 😂Orange/white jersey, red backpack & helmet, peach Surly karate monkey. Super rad! Last year was my first 99er, coming back from round 2 on a singlespeed this year... 😝 Love attempting stupid challenges on bikes haha. You gonna make it for round 2 this year?! Also, bring your Evo, there's plenty of sick singletrack in Duluth that is worthy of the full squish 😉🤘
That was my first time doing the Lutsen 25er, and I was doing pretty good until the last six miles of it. Because I got a flat tire and had to walk the rest of the race. Anyways you should do the 29er this year(2024). And if you do I might see you there. 😁
I liked your video but I wouldn't classify that as a $50 bike. It was an outdated bike. It's value today isn't really descriptive of its qualifications.
I agree with you on that! I think if the bike were to be marketed without any modifications like I’ve done, it would actually be pretty close to $50, but with the drop bars and drivetrain it bumps up the price a few hundred dollars.
