    Looks like a good deal.

    I ride a similar vintage mountain bike. I've had it since 2000 and have replaced 70-80% of the parts on it since then, so now it's basically custom built just the way I want it. It's built like a tank (30-pound hardtail). It's mostly an urban commuter now, but it's nice to know I can jump some curbs/ride down stairs/whatever and it's not gonna flinch. Plus, I don't look like some spandex-clad fitness freak on a road bike.

    I will never forget you chattering your way down copper harbor then blowing random parts off that thing! 
    Good times, good times.

        I'd really do your homework on the N63 and what years are the best to buy. I don't know details but I just remember the early cars with would consume oil. They sound great with an exhaust.

          I ultimately went with the 535xi so I dont have to worry too much about the snow. It would have been a lot of fun though

            Good move. I had a 550i xdrive msport in Colorado for 10 days or so and drove hundreds of miles on it including a canyon run and it was just too heavy and underwhelming.  The difference in power between the N55 and N63 can easily be made up and the N55 does not feel that much slower than the N63 stock for stock.  You made a good choice.

                  I hope some company will produce a nicer looking aftermarket bumper skin. Whoever does, will probably do well with it.

                                    I biked downtown Madison today to check out the damage and see if people were still out protesting. There was still a good sized crowd hanging out in the state street corner of the square, maybe 60 to 80 people, and a lot of people like myself just out taking the tour. Every business on state street was boarded up and almost all of the wood now has graffiti or murals painted on it. Unlike what you might see online, 100% of the messages were behind the BLM movement. Probably not surprising, considering it's Madison, but I was surprise how much I was affected by it.

                                    On my way back up state street, there was a young black guy, maybe 18 or 20 laying face-down with his hands behind is back in middle of the East Johnson intersection. Police were already there and were totally chill, just making sure he didn't get run over, but it's really hard to know what to do or how to feel when you're in a situation like that. He was obviously trying to force some kind of confrontation. I was going to just ride away, but I ended up turning around and coming back. By then there were a bunch of people in the street holding signs and taking pictures. There was a lot of that kind of thing happening, just people getting shots to post on social media like "look at me, I'm not racist". I ended up leaving again, but on my 2nd trip back through everything was back to normal like nothing even happened.

                                    Anyway, that's just my experience, but I would recommend going there and checking it out, regardless of where "there" is. It's amazing how de-sensitized to things you can become just seeing them on a screen versus actually being there.

                                      25-40% of businesses on State St won't be returning, they could barely survive coming out of COVID, and now they got smashed to shit and the residents of Madison are cheering this on like it's some great victory for The Movement. It sickens me.

                                      Sorry to be crass, but I've about had it with those fucking idiots. Lives are being ruined over an issue everyone was already 100% behind, save for some redneck fucks with no social influence or presence, save for the media doing their best to hype them up and get people riled up.

                                      Now that downtown has been trashed, they're blocking roads and disrupting traffic, they're doing what should have been obvious as fuck from the beginning; turning everyone against them. gOoD wOrK bOiS!

                                          I guess I haven't been listening to the news enough recently, because I completely missed this one: https://www.wpr.org/george-floyd-protesters-block-beltline-madison-milwaukee-protesters-march-wauwatosa

                                          That's just stupid and dangerous.
