  1. Hi
    On a recent trip to France my bike suffered some battle scars.
    The local bike shops have been unable to get any paint.
    The bike is a battle ship grey colour.
    If anyone know where I can get paint they would be a great help.
    Thanks Andrew

    You could always try your nearest autoparts store. I have an orange
    Kona ManoMano at one point in time with a few ugly scars. I managed to
    find two colors in Pep Boys that mixed together just right. In your
    case, a little black, a little white and just a touch of green should
    come up with the perfect cocktail.

    Doing just that in the Pines for the annual Jersey Devil Halloween ride
    in costume of course (still have to make/buy one).

    Wharton State Forest this year. Starts at 10:00 and includes a witching
    hour bon-fire (complete with beverage). All sanctioned by the Wharton
    State Forest (they love us mountain bikers).

  5. Starts in Bluff Point State Park at dusk. With 3 skill
    groups. Small party after at the LBS. Out of 300 riders maybe 25
    show up for the party. I've been riding it since 99 and showing up at
    the party 02.

  6. Scratches happen to mountain bicycles, so get over it and just ride
    your bike.

    I noticed yesterday that I've got paint wear on the frame of my bike from
    the grabber thingy on my rack. I supposed I could keep the paint nice by not
    riding the bike, but that wouldn't be any fun at all. My thought was, wow
    that bike spend a lot of time going to the trailhead.

    You should see my Racer-X. Scratches all over and the decal is peeling
    off. It's from shipping it everywhere. You are right. They were meant
    to be ridden, not tropheys. However, could a scratch expose a steel
    frame to rust?

    Cool. I'm trying out a piece of new trail tonight. We substitute sand
    for climbs 🙂..

    Instead of fixing it ,come up with a better story about how it happened.
    Mountain bikes and pickup trucks; if they get used as intended,
    they're gonna get scratched and dinged.
