Another classic steel frame given new life. Late 90’s Spez Rockhopper running 700’s and drum brakes. Hell we could chuck in some 650b’s and call it a gravel bike.

Classic 650b

Can't believe it's been three years since I got this bike. It's still the only modern (read: brifters and disc brakes) bike I've owned and I'm obsessed with it. When I got this 2013 Soma Doublecross Disc from its previous owner it was set up in a kind of middle-of-the-road commuter sort of way with a narrow gear range, skinny slick tires, etc. I made a few changes: a 40-tooth cassette, SRAM mountain bike rear derailleur and Wolf Tooth roadlink coupled to a 50-34 double crank up front. It's a smooth setup that gives a decently wide gear range for various terrains.
I burnt the wheels that came with the bike out (old hubs plus winter snow riding plus lack of maintenance on my part; lesson learned) but found an insane deal on some Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels. One of the upsides to everyone going through-axle and XD is that wheels not built to those standards are getting much cheaper. I baby these wheels -- used only on road rides -- so I also snagged a very inexpensive set of 650b wheels with DT Swiss rims and spokes and trusty Shimano Deore hubs for daily commutes and rougher riding. With the smaller 650b wheels, I can fit 48 mm tires on this thing. With 700s, I've fit the smaller size 42 mm Bruce Gordon Rock and Roads on easily.
I recently finished off the bike with red Newbaum's bartape treated with clear shellac. I also scored this used Brooks Colt saddle. I like it a lot. It's somewhere between a classic Brooks and an 80s road saddle like the beat up Sella San Marco Concor I had on there before.
This is my primary transportation and it works fantastic for that. It can also handle everything from centuries to single track very well. I've clocked 50-mile rides in less than two and a half hours and crazy nighttime group rides through off-the-grid mountain bike trails.
Investing money in a bike before this was extremely foreign to me. But with some patience, value shopping and help from my local bike co-op, I was able to set all this up for less than what you'd spend on say, a stock All City or Surly complete bike.
I really feel like the Doublecross is a modern classic. If you run across one of these used in your size, you should snap it up.

How do you calculate that Universal Health Care would save $650B? When you take away competition and “the government” is paying for everything, it’s an open invitation for fraud and massive amounts of overcharging! Then to try and reign in costs, the government would force rationing of health care on the population! So I call bullshit on your statements!
How’s the calculation for gun safety laws calculated?

Tax cuts for billionaires are the epitome of wasteful spending.

The Emerging Hub of Opportunities in the UAE- Dubai South
Historic Background
Dubai beginning has been humble, and the vision has been great. Region New and modern Dubai has been constantly shifting towards the South. Region with a small population of 20k became home to 1M residents in just 50 years and currently to 3.8M. Dubai started its development journey from the old Dubai which includes Diera, Bur Dubai, Gold Souq, Kamara, Rashadiya, Nahada etc. The area developed first because of its proximity to the port, airport and most importantly it was strategically located from other emirates like Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Al Ain. The connection with capital Abu Dhabi, which is also the richest and largest emirate, was bound to happen as this was the only direction Dubai wanted to expand with growing road and infrastructure. Since then, center Dubai has been Constantly moving South.
With the dawn of 20th century in 2002, Dubai opened its arms to the world. The government decided to allow people of all nationalities to own properties here and thereafter has been a magnet to the world. Every 10 years Dubai saw an addition of 1M residents embracing diversity and innovation, making it not only a city but a symbol of ambition and possibility. Today it is a thriving metropolis of 3.8M residents and one of the top 5 most visited cities in the world.
Vision
The roots of this Dubai can be traced back to the vision of His highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Mohammad bin Rashid AL Maktoum, the Vice president & Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Recognizing the limitations of Dubai’s existing infrastructure and the need for long-term planning, sheikh Mohammed envisioned a master-planned city that would serve as a catalyst for economy growth and development. Even before 2002 they realized that Dubai has taken off and will achieve great heights. In 2004 the New Dubai was envisioned. A Dubai will be modern, innovative in approach and will offer everything that its residents and visitors need. And hence this NEW Dubai on the south was planned.
Why is SOUTH the priority?
The government of Dubai has already spent more than 200 billion USD which is more than half a trillion dirhams in developing the required infrastructure and the trade zones in this area. Total investment from Pvt. and Government Players is more than 500B USD. To achieve the goals mentioned in agenda D33 the government has committed more infrastructure development funds to make this new Dubai a huge success. Economic Agenda D33 Dubai is on track of seeing Doubling the economy from 1.6 trillion to 3.2 trillion in the next 9 years, Doubling the FDI from 320B to 650B to raise the govt. expenditure from 512B to 700B. 400 new cities are Planned to be added to Dubai’s commercial map.
D33 encompasses a new 8.7 trillion USD roadmap for the emirate to double its foreign trade and emerge as the world's fourth most prominent financial center behind New York, London, and Singapore by 2033 when Dubai will mark 200 years since its founding.
2023 Destination Dubai report which showed that 66% of global HNWI are eyeing up second-home purchases in the city. In addition, Dubai is one of the world’s most connected cities.
Major Communities:
More communities like Emaar South a golfing paradise in the making, Oasis by Emaar a high end community with lagoon and greenery, Dubai South a mixed use development, The Heights by Emaar an affordable family residential community with wellness as the concept, Luxury Polo Resorts Club by Emaar , luxury Mansion and Villa community which Emaar will soon announce, , Expo City an advanced sustainable city of innovation, Riverside by DAMAC and some projects by smaller private developers have recently been launched. We will discuss some of them in the latter half of the video.
Conclusion
In Dubai people invest in the direction of the government. This opportunity has left a lot up for grabs for the investors of all segments. You buy an apartment, townhouse, Villa or a mansion, everything will have a demand as you are living in the heart of the new economic hub, which is growing so fast, and you can smell positivity in the air.

A dope Surly Steamroller fully modified for the client's smaller stature and utility. He wound up being absolutely thrilled with the bike and loves it. I raised the rear bridge for fenders and tire clearance, added fender mounts front and back, built 650b dyno wheelset, add mid blade rack mounts, sourced a 160mm cranks and built out a dope all weather city single speed commuter with some delicious parts. This ticket was worked up charging mostly retail for all parts, and charging a much lower labor rate. Paying around $1,400 for the entire thing, and he didn't even get the bars/stem/saddle from me. Anyway, the idea is that this ticket lays the ground work for developing Far Far's single speed model. In this case, I took $300 for labor, but made more because most all the parts were sold at retail. I didn't repaint the frame at all, but that would have added about $180 in paint, and another $100 in labor. Complete bikes are sold at a price which do not equal the sum of their parts, as a rule. Far Far Bicycles will be hand made complete bikes sold off the floor, so it is natural to devise a pricing method independent of the retail of the parts but rather upon total time spent in labor. So for this reason, I believe the models which re-use existing frames, the model name for which I haven't settled on yet, will wind up hitting the $1,000-$1,200 range, possibly less. Anyway, there will be more custom tickets which will more closely reflect what I'm trying to develop.

Specialized Roll 2.0 Low Entry
They say that every journey begins with a single step, but when that journey is related to exercise, that first step can sure be a doozy. But that one step, or in our case pedal stroke, can be life-changing—and there’s no better machine to take the plunge with than with the Roll. It has everything you need to help achieve your goals, like a comfortable and upright geometry that makes getting on and off the bike super easy, wide and grippy 650b tires, hassle-free mechanical disc brakes, and a reliable mix of components that are built to withstand years of riding. You don’t have to sacrifice, you just need the Roll 2.0 Low-Entry.
The Low-Entry Roll is made of our A1 Premium Aluminum. It features our Ground Control Positioning that makes it easy to put a foot down when stopped, while our Low-Entry design makes getting on and off a breeze. Lastly, the frame comes ready with rack/fender mounts. Wide diameter, 650b x 2.3″ Nimbus II Sport tires provide excellent traction, stability, and cushioning, which creates a safer, more reliable, and more comfortable ride on either paved or dirt roads. Plus, the reflective accents of the tire increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions. Equipped with a Body Geometry Comfort Gel saddle, you can expect a supreme level of comfort anywhere you ride. It is ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to provide unmatched comfort and support while reducing pressure on soft tissue.
