Corporal Hunt had stood beside me all through the fight as
our men went down,That tall, blue grain in its long swaths lying, hiding the
earth where it had been brown. The cleft twigs dropped from the trees above us, cut by the
bullets which whistled there, And with labored breathing we clambered forward, mutter
ing sometimes a curse or prayer. Little Jack Two-Sticks, the company's drummer-you see
we had nicknames among the boysWas drumming away at my left, and helping to deaden the
shriek of those leaden toys. Jack was a lad, and a little fellow about the size of my young
est girl I had left at homne; eyes the same color, and hair that was
always trying to curl. “ Look at that boy!” the corporal shouted. “Look at that
little chap drumming away!” And we sort of smiled in each other's faces. “He takes it
as cool as if it was play!” And the powder-grimed face of the corporal softened, then
suddenly hardened, and down he fell. • What! Hunt, are you hit ? ” But he made no answer,
and I heard in the front the rebel yell, And our colonel shouting, “Charge bayonets, men !” I rushed
through the thicket to take my part, Leaving the corporal lying quiet with a minie-ball lodged
in his gallant heart. We fought and we won with the little handful left of our
brave old Company G. Our colonel dropped, half rose, and shouted,“ Follow them,
boys! Not a man stays with me.” But after the cannon had stopped their rattle, and after the
bullets had ceased their play, And we searched for our comrades, I heard the drumming
of little Jack Two-sticks far away. Queer that Jack wasn't up with the company, as the sharp
tattoo of his drum we heard, But it suddenly changed to a muffled long-roll, and five of
us started without a word And followed the sound through the Wilderness shadows.
There, with his back to a fallen tree, And six of his comrades dead around him, he was beating the long-roll for Company G.
Why, Jack, old chap, are you hurt?” we questioned; his
jacket was torn and the front was red. I thought of my girl as I watched him faintly beating the
long-roll there to the dead. “How did it go-who beat?” he whispered. “ We saved
the day at the last-we won!” Write to mother about it --" His hands fell lifeless, and
little Jack Two-sticks' drumming was done. The night came down with its blessed quiet, and I said a
prayer for my little girl, And the little chap in the darkness sleeping, with hair too
stiffened with blood to curl. But of all the sights that the Wilderness shadows were try
ing to hide as the smoke-clouds fled, The saddest of all was that little fellow beating the long
roll there for the dead.
THE CURATE'S STORY.–JEROME K. JEROME.
It was Christmas-eve! Christmas-eve at my uncle John's, in the dimly lighted front parlor, where the flickering fire-light threw strange shadows on the highly colored wall-paper, while without, in the wild street, the storm raged pitilessly, and the wind, like come unquiet spirit, flew, moaning, across the square, and passed, wailing with a troubled cry, round by the milk-shop.
We had had supper, and were sitting round, talking and smoking.
Aunt went to bed soon after supper, leaving the local curate, old Dr. Scrubbles, Mr. Samuel Coombes, our mem. ber of the County Council, Teddy Biffles, and myself to keep Uncle company. We agreed that it was too early to give in for some time yet, so Uncle brewed another bowl of punch ; and I think we all did justice to that, at least I know I did.
Uncle John told us a very funny story in the course of the evening. Oh, it was a funny story! I forget what it was about now, but I know it amused me very much at the time; I do not think I ever laughed so puch in all
life. It is strange that I cannot recol
lect that story too, because he told it to us four times. And it was entirely our own fault that he did not tell it us a fifth. After that, the Doctor sung a very clever song, in the course of which he imitated all the different animals in a farm-yard. He did mix them a bit. He brayed for the bantam cock, and crowed for the pig ; but we knew what he meant all right.
Oh, we did have such fun that evening!
And then, somehow or other, we must have got on to ghosts; because the next recollection I have is that we were telling ghost stories to each other.
Teddy Biffles told the first story. He called it Johnson and Emily; or, the Faithful Ghost. It made me cry very much, Biffles told it with so much feeling.
We had some more punch and then the curate told us a story. I could not make head or tail of the curate's story, so I cannot retail it to you. We none of us could make head or tail of that story. It was a good story enough, so far as material went. There seemed to be an enormous amount of plot and enough incident to have made a dozen novels. I should suppose
human being our curate had ever known or met or heard of was brought into that story. There were simply hundreds of them. Every five seconds he would introduce a completely fresh collection of characters, accompanied by a brand-new set of incidents.
This was the sort of story it was :
"Well, then, my uncle went into the garden and got his gun, but, of course, it wasn't there, and Scrogging said he didn't believe it."
“ Didn't believe what? Who's Scroggins ? '
“Scroggins! Oh, why, he was the other man, you know-it was his wife.” “What was his wife—what's she got to do with it?”
Why, that's what I'm telling you. It was she that found the hat. She'd come up with her cousin to London-her cousin was my sister-in-law and the other niece
had married a man named Evans, and Evans, when it was all over, had taken the box round to Mr. Jacobs because Jacobs's father had seen the man when he was alive, and when he was dead, Joseph
“Now look here, never you mind Evans and the box; what's become of your uncle and the gun 1?”
The gun! What gun ?” “Why, the gun your uncle used to keep in the garden, and that wasn't there. What did he do with it? Did he kill any of these people with it—these Jacobses and Evanses and Scrogginses and Josephses ? Because, if so, it was a good and useful work, and we should enjoy hearing about it."
No-oh, no- -how could he? He had been built up alive in the wall, you know, and when Edward IV. spoke to the abbot about it any sister said that in her then state of health she could not. So they christened Horatio, after her own son, who had been killed at Waterloo before he was born, and Lord Napier himself said —"
“Look here, do you know what you are talking about ?" we asked him at this point.
He said no, but he knew it was every word of it true, because his aunt had seen it herself. Whereupon we covered him over with the table-cloth and he went to sleep.

THE EVERLASTING MEMORIAL.-HORATIUA BONAR. Up and away, like the dew of the morning,
That soars from the earth to its home in the sun;
Only remembered by what I have done.
The brief race of time well and patiently run,
Only remembered by what I have done. Gladly away from this toil would I hasten,
Up to the crown that for me has been won;
Onthought of by man in rewards or in praises
Only remembered by what I have done. Up and away, like the odors of sunset,
That sweeten the twilight as darkness comes on; 6o be my life,-a thing felt but not noticed,
And I but remembered by what I have done. Yes, like the fragrance that wanders in darkness When the flowers that it came from are closed up
and gone, So I would be to this world's weary dwellers,
Only remembered by what I have done.
The name and the epitaph graven on stone ?
We ourselves but remembered by what we have done. I need not be missed, if my life has been bearing
(As its summer and autumn moved silently on) 'The bloom, and the fruit, and the seed of its season;
I shall still be remembered by what I have done. I need not be missed if another succeed me
To reap down those fields which in spring I have sown; He who ploughed and who sowed is not missed by the reaper,
He is only remembered by what he has done.
Not myself, but the seed that in life I have sown,
Save the truth I have spoken, the things I have done. So let my living be, so be my dying;
So let my name lie, unblazoned, unknown; Unpraised and unmissed, I shall still be remembered,
Yes—but remembered by what I have done.

Chuck Frost describes the moment his family's 141-year-old bank was declared dead.
It was about 2:30 p.m. July 2 when a teller walked into his office and announced that representatives of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. had arrived.
Frost, the 40-year-old bank president and the fifth generation of his family to work there, knew what would happen next. The state would seize the charter of First State Bank of Winchester, and the FDIC would confiscate its insurance certificate, put the bank into receivership and sell its assets to another institution.
"Emotionally, it was too much," said Frost, whose family owned 50 percent of the bank. After greeting the state and federal regulators and ushering them into a meeting room, "I went to my office and broke down."
So far this year, 55 FDIC-insured banks have failed including 12 in Illinois; Winchester and five other affiliated banks all went down on the same day. More failures are predicted. "A lot of banks in Chicago have serious problems," said Craig Mancinotti, managing director for Austin Associates LLC, a financial-services-industry consulting firm.
All six Illinois banks that failed July 2 -- ranging from Winchester, a $33 million-asset bank about 250 miles from Chicago, to Founders Bank, a Worth-based institution with $966.5 million in assets -- were controlled by Arizona banker and aviation enthusiast Lyle Campbell, 73, and his sons, who still are involved with two surviving Illinois banks.
Loan problems contributed to the demise of the banks, the FDIC said. But their failure was attributed largely to investments in "trust preferred securities" that had to be written down in value because the lenders that issued them got into trouble. The securities losses, in turn, helped deplete the banks' capital levels and forced the Campbell banks to try to raise additional money. When they failed to secure financial life support, regulators yanked the plug on the banks, creating the most failures in one day in Illinois since 1989, when 10 thrifts were taken over by regulators.
A few years ago many banks raised capital by issuing trust preferred securities, particularly if there wasn't a market for their common stock. The bank would arrange with an institutional investor or other banks or brokerages to borrow money with a particular interest rate, typically paid quarterly. They were called "preferred" securities because, in case the bank that issued the preferred failed, holders of the trust preferred securities would get paid after depositors but before unsecured creditors.
Lyle Campbell told the Tribune on July 5 that the trust preferred securities that his banks bought were investment grade at the time.
But some banks that issued trust preferred securities or debt, or that promised regular dividends to investors, have curbed their payouts to try to conserve capital.
With so many issuers in trouble, banks that also invested in the preferred realized that the securities were reduced in value or almost worthless. Therefore, they've had to write off losses on their investments, reducing their capital levels.
Winchester, for example, purchased $3 million of these securities from mid-2005 through early 2007. But as payouts dried up, the securities weren't meeting Winchester's cash flow projections.
"They're backed by these junk mortgages, and when someone files bankruptcy protection and you've got a mortgage against it, something is going to happen to that security," Frost said in an interview. "In several of these instances they had stopped paying us anything." It was also difficult to assess the securities' value, he said.
Issuers, he said, were companies such as Countrywide, the California-based lender that buckled in 2008 under the weight of bad mortgages. As a result, Winchester was forced to write off two-thirds of the value of its trust preferred securities, down to $1 million, Frost said.
The downward spiral continued as Winchester had to set aside reserves to cover possible bad loans
"That further depleted capital," Frost said. "We were actually operating on negative capital."
The latest "hole was just too deep," he said. "You and I could put $2 million apiece in, and come tomorrow, after the accounting, our $4 million is worth $2 million."
Winchester is in a farming area and, in the mid-1980s when farmers were defaulting on loans, the bank had faced a similar problem. That's when the Campbell group invested in the bank; it needed a capital infusion due to losses suffered in the farm crunch.
The Campbell family had a 50 percent stake. Frost, his mother and father, who still live in the area, and a sister who lives in Arizona retained the other half.
The relationship between the Frosts and Lyle Campbell was warm. Frost remembers how Lyle would "come to town and stay at my folks' house, usually on Monday nights because Tuesday they usually had the Cardinals game, and he's an avid Cardinals fan," Frost recalled. "We're only two hours from St. Louis so he'd make calls on Tuesday morning and be in the stadium in the afternoon."
In retrospect, Frost said his family has no regrets about bringing the Campbell group in as partners and, in fact, feels sorry for them.
"It looked like a good thing to do at the time," he said of the trust preferred investments. Losing six banks "will be financially devastating to them."
When the FDIC arrived July 2, one of Frost's first calls was to Randy Ytterberg, a Campbell group executive in Chicago. "I told him, 'I'm glad the ride's over. I want to get off the emotional roller coaster,'" Frost said.
Ytterberg couldn't be reached for comment. The Campbells haven't returned recent phone calls from the Tribune.
Frost suspected the bank was doomed because potential buyers made no offers.
"Other banks come in and perform due diligence, look at your loan files and assets, and ask you questions. After that happens about eight times, you realize, 'This is really going to happen because nobody wants me,'" Frost said.
On the day of the closing, Frost also phoned his wife of 17 years, Lisa, and asked her to come by the bank.
"She hugged me and told me to breathe, and take another breath," Frost said. "She said it was going to be OK."
Two days later -- on Independence Day -- 52 FDIC workers swarmed the bank to make sure its transition into new ownership would go smoothly.
An FDIC worker floated the idea of a cookout. Frost went home, grabbed his charcoal grill, his dad, and his dad's 36-foot motor home with a canopy and returned to the bank for a cookout on the sidewalk.
"I told everybody it's an awful situation and very traumatic to me personally, but you've got to make the best of the situation," Frost said, adding that he thanked everyone for the work they were doing.
The fare included about 100 hot dogs, baked beans, chips and three Dutch-oven cobblers: apple, peach and cherry.
"I made the crust at home," Frost said.
A week later, however, Frost's emotions were still raw.
"My family has provided for so many people in this bank, and it's hard to not know if I can provide for them in the future," said Frost, his voice quavering with emotion in a July 9 phone interview. "I'm an old farmer; I always carry a hankie," he added.
First National Bank of Beardstown, in west central Illinois, assumed the deposits and most of the assets of First State Bank of Winchester. Frost is now president of Beardstown's First National Bank of Winchester, and his employees kept their jobs.
As his bank stake "was a big portion" of his assets, Frost said he'll have to adjust his lifestyle "a little bit." He has other resources, including 2,500 acres of farmland.

Alarmed by the slumping stock markets, the Chinese authorities cut key interest rate by 25 basis points (bps) on Tuesday, a fifth rate cut in just nine months.
After the latest cut, the one-year benchmark lending rate now stands at 4.6%. The Chinese central bank also cut the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5%, enabling the banks to hold more money to lend.
The Chinese stock markets plunged over 7% for the second consecutive day on Tuesday, after falling by 8.5% in the previous session.
"Clearly, this is targeted at the falling stock market," Tao Dong, chief regional economist for Asia excluding Japan at Credit Suisse Group AG in Hong Kong, told Bloomberg.
"China needs extra liquidity to prevent systemic risks. But ultimately, fixing the economy is more important than fixing the stock market and advancing reforms is critical," he added.
Chinese equity markets have been witnessing high volatility for the past two months, as investors sold shares aggressively amid fading expectations over additional support measures by the government.
Besides, a recent data showed that China's manufacturing activity fell sharply to a six-year low in July despite many stimulus measures taken by the authorities to prop up the growth.
The authorities had also opted for yuan devaluation two weeks ago, in a bid to boost the slowing exports. China's exports fell 8.3% in July and a deflationary trend in producer prices persisted for a fourth straight year.
A devaluation of yuan will help China to make its exports more competitive in the overseas markets. China's central bank People's Bank of China (PBoC), defended the devaluation move saying that it was "a free-market reform".
However, analysts raised doubts that the step is aimed at keeping the yuan depreciating for long in order to revive its exports.

View Full Version : Load for .45 ACP?
Anybody out there have a Power Pistol load for using a 230 grain Round Nose lead bullet (.45 ACP)? I can find loads for jacketed bullets, but not for lead...
Had 4.0grs VV N310 with a 230grs H&N RN bullet, good load (759fps).
Only problem with using the VV N310 is, that you can't find it around here. I can find power pistol, unique, and the AA powders. I was hoping to find a power pistol load for use with lead bullets. I hate to use Unique due to it being so dirty.
Below are links w/ loads in Handloads.com and Alliant's own web site data. There are some Power Pistol loads there. Of course you can order the VV powders, but they are pricey. Power Pistol is like $40 less for 4lb. For me, Bullseye is optimum, and 231 and Titegroup are good which are cleaner. Dirty doesnt bother me much in .45, but to each their own. Good luck, and of course verify all loads with a manual and be working up.
4.5 grains of Bullseye works extremely well out of my Colt. Scary accurate and fairly light. Knocks a bowling pin off the table though.

Hi all. I am the happy owner of .40 JCP. I haven't had or fired a pistol in quite a long time. A week after buying it, I finally got a chance to get to the range. Out of a around 75 rounds I did have 3 rounds stovepipe. Not limp wristing seemed to solve that. I'm thinking it's going to take time and practice to get back in the hand gun groove. But, damm it was fun to shoot.

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has said the armed forces must prepare for election violence from Obidients who are the supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Omokri said this following an unruly display by the supporters at the presidential town hall meeting organised by Arise TV on Sunday.
The meeting had in attendance Obi, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State who is the running mate to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar; Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party and Kola Abiola.
Absent were Atiku and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Shortly before the event began, Obidients could be seen protesting the presence of Okowa. According to them, the even was for presidential candidates, not their running mates.
They also threatened to take Obi away from the event since Atiku and Tinubu failed to show up.
Their display was rowdy and gave the event a disorganized look.
Reacting, Omokri tweeted, “For months we warned of Obidients propensity for cyber bullying and threat to life. Today, at the AriseTV town hall, they took it a step further. I hope the armed forces have a contingency plan. Obi will lose in 2023 and they must prepare for violence from Obidients.”

Defense chief Mattis urges Congress to allow base closingsJune 14, 2017
WASHINGTON — Aiming to succeed where his predecessors failed, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis called on Congress on Monday to allow the military services to shutter excess bases — a move the Pentagon concludes will save billions of dollars but one that lawmakers have previously rejected.
AP: Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.


OTTAWA—Justice Minister David Lametti says foreign affairs will be a factor if and when it comes time for him to make what he acknowledges is a political decision whether to extradite Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to the United States over China’s furious objections.
Lametti, named three weeks ago to take over the justice file after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shuffled Jody Wilson-Raybould off to veterans’ affairs for unspecified reasons, now finds himself on the hotseat in both the Meng Wanzhou affair and the SNC-Lavalin prosecution, among other unfinished legislative business.
On Thursday, in his first sit-down interview, Lametti admitted he had no idea why Trudeau picked him to be Wilson-Raybould’s successor, and tried to draw a distinction between his job as the government’s top lawyer and being a cabinet member, Quebec minister and MP, on all those files.
Lametti said he will often prioritize his role as attorney general or chief legal advisor to the government and its departments.
But he said as a cabinet member he has a political role to play in helping to create and direct policy.
But, he said, he will not personally make a looming decision about whether his department will put the U.S. extradition case against a Huawei executive before a Canadian judge because it would politicize the legal process, which should run its course.
Liberal government will still seek deeper trade ties despite Beijing fury over Meng extradition
Trudeau is considering naming a special envoy to China as deadline looms in Meng extradition case
John McCallum resigns as Canada’s ambassador to China at Trudeau’s request
Lametti acknowledged that the welfare of three Canadians facing “arbitrary” justice in China may depend on whether Meng is extradited to the U.S. to face fraud charges connected to alleged violations of sanctions against Iran.
But he insisted the plight of the Canadians and Meng’s extradition are “two separate matters” and he will only weigh in at the end when it requires a political decision that takes account of foreign affairs.
He said Canada has, “as a matter of a political decision, created what I think is an excellent process, which is to say a section in the government will treat this (Meng) case neutrally as it runs through the courts, and the minister of justice will not have any say in the matter.
“Nor will any other political actor, and that is what we have done,” he added.
“It is only, if and when there is a committal order to extradite by a judge that the minister of justice will enter into the proceeding and make what is, then, a decision based on all the evidence, but recognizing that, at this point, foreign affairs is a political matter, and … make a decision.”
Extradition law and jurisprudence explicitly state that a minister may take into account political factors such as good international relations or international legal cooperation frameworks. A minister may also refuse to extradite if he or she believes the prosecution is politicized, or being used to try someone for a political crime, such as treason or espionage.
Amid a firestorm of criticism from Beijing, Trudeau’s government has tried to avoid discussing what political factors may come into play in the case. Trudeau fired John McCallum as Chinese ambassador for his public speculations about the case.
Sitting in a sparsely furnished ministerial office he hasn’t yet moved into, Lametti acknowledged that, “sadly,” there are two Canadians detained in China. He was referring to Beijing’s arrests of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in apparent retaliation for Meng’s arrest. He said their detentions are believed to be “politically oriented in nature.” He also mentioned a third case, that of Robert Schellenberg, a Canadian convicted of drug trafficking, and said “we feel that a sentence has been arbitrarily jacked up to a death penalty.”
None of it changes his approach, he said.
“If we link the two, then we’re falling victim to the very same kinds of processes that we’re criticizing in other countries.”
The international assistance group in the Canadian justice department will assess the U.S. case against Meng and decide, by the end of the month, whether to issue what’s called an “authority to proceed.”
Lametti said his officials are “evaluating … whether there is some basis for the laying of the (U.S.) charge. It’s not determination of guilt or innocence by any means, but it’s a way of saying this a legitimate exercise on the part of the foreign (U.S.) government.” It’s a step he said is “important to the rule of law.”
Lametti said the Canadian legal system allows “any person of any stature, whatever standing, in this case of whatever country, the ability to defend themselves in front of a very impartial, highly qualified, Canadian judge, and that’s an important value to protect.”
At the same time, Lametti said the Canadian government, its consular staff and the minister of foreign affairs are “doing their best to make sure that we, on a political level, can intervene with the Chinese government, on behalf of our Canadian citizens.”
Lametti is on leave from McGill University where he taught law.
He is an expert in intellectual property and copyright issues.
Asked if he had any sympathy, given that background knowledge, for U.S. charges that Huawei, the Chinese corporate giant, steals American technology, Lametti refused comment on “any specifics, because I don’t see the evidence in front of me. I haven’t read the evidence. I haven’t read the court documents as regards the trade-secrets part of that case.”
In general, however, he said intellectual property has become a larger concern with trade secrets now being “treated as a criminal matter in certain jurisdictions, and we have agreed to do that in the most recent trade agreement with the United States and Mexico.
“I agree that we needed to have a trade agreement, and there are a number of different provisions in that agreement that reinforce and really illustrate the importance of intellectual property in the current economic order.”
As for how he will square his role as a Quebec minister and MP with his role in the SNC-Lavalin affair that broke Thursday, Lametti said he does not believe he is compromised by being from the province where SNC-Lavalin is of huge economic importance.
“That’s something that every MP has to deal in some way, shape or form, in particular any MP who, then, has an executive role, whether it’s the prime minister, whether it’s another minister, whether it’s a parliamentary secretary,” he said. “It’s part of our political system. You have to be able to wear a couple of different hats.”

The Surly Pack Rat is designed around porteur-style racks and front-loading optimization, with a front cargo-specific design to eliminate steering issues. The fork features internal routing for generator hubs and rear frame dropouts to accommodate multiple drivetrain configurations. It’s an ideal choice for loaded commutes and bike trips with a lighter load, but also rides great when unloaded. - 100% Surly 4130 Chromoly frame, main triangle is double-butted; 1-1/8" threadless brazed Chromoly fork - Bosses front and rear for cantilever or linear-pull brakes, rack and fender eyelets at the dropouts, eyelets at the crown, and fully threaded through-blade fork eyelets for a front rack - Semi-horizontal dropouts with a derailleur hanger for geared or singlespeed drivetrains and/or wheelbase adjustability
Say hello to Surly's rowdy, trail-shredding Instigator 2.0. The no-nonsense chromoly frame is made for charging hard and going big. It's super tough, yet handles nimbly and accelerates like mad. The heart of the bike is Surly's 26+ platform which has clearance for 50mm-wide rims and 2.75-inch tires, so you get endless traction and the rollover-action of a 27.5-inch wheel, coupled with the snappy, go-fast responsiveness of a 26-incher. The geometry is dialed for a 140mm travel suspension fork and features a long top tube and short rear end for more of the same fun. And this thing is versatile, the frame comes with dropouts for rolling singlespeed, or geared with a quick release or a 142x12mm through-axle with a Shimano direct-mount hanger.
The Surly Lowside is the bike that gets you across town for a quick rip on singletrack, then over to the bar for a night out. It’s the bike you turn to when you’re not entirely sure what the night has in store. It’s the bike to grab when you want to have just as much fun riding to the trail as you do on the trail, itself. Singlespeeding is an integral part of Surly’s DNA, and the Lowside continues the tradition, by taking a simpler approach to trail riding. - 100% Surly 4130 chromoly frame, main triangle is double-butted; 1 1/8" threadless chromoly fork - Singlespeed "specific" (derailleur hanger: yes; Trip Guides: no) - Dropper post routing - Gnot-Boost rear spacing - Front and rear thru-axles - 26 x 3" or 27.5 x 2.8" tire clearance
$650.00 - $675.00
Off-road touring can be a zesty enterprise, but it’s not without its perils. Bicycles are simple machines that are extremely efficient, but all simple machines carry along with them the chance of breaking down. This efficiency can get you in trouble if your bike decides to break down far away from the comforts of your parent’s basement. If you’re going to ride your bicycles where no one can see, you better take gear that’s up to the task. Troll is up to the task. Surly's Troll was once a simple mountain bike frame with a few extras that made it nice for touring. The Troll has evolved into a frame that has been pushed deeper into the category of off-road touring. Its geometry is no longer suspension corrected, which gives it more room for a larger frame bag. The chainstay yoke has been redesigned to be fully compatible with 26+ tires and comes with the always-comfy Jones Loop bar. The dropouts still allow you to run disc brakes, fenders, a Rohloff hub, and racks simultaneously. It also comes with more braze-ons than you thought possible – there are four triple bottle mounts on the fork alone (don’t get excited, you can only run one Anything Cage per fork leg), as well as two more triple bottle mounts on the down tube. Troll is a bike that has one purpose – and that purpose is to carry you as far away from society as possible.
Wednesday is a frame with a decade of Surly's Omniterra design experience distilled into one steel package. Wednesday can ride over the same type of pretty much anything all of their other Omniterra bikes can, but they borrowed elements from both their Trail and Touring categories to create an Omniterra ride that can truly handle anything you want to attempt. Want to point the thing down a mountain and roll those dice? Wednesday has geometry spry enough to get you through the techy stuff, stable enough for the fast stuff, and doesn’t feel sluggish when you have to ride back to the top. It also has the chops for any sort of expedition you may want to undertake. It has plenty of bottle mounts; triple bottle bosses on both fork legs and the down tube; standard bottle mounts on the seat tube and underside of the down tube; plus rack mounts on the frame and fork and fender eyelets on the dropouts, along with barrel bosses on the crown, fork legs and mid-blade, thru-blade eyelets on the fork as well. It also has internal dropper post routing and Surly Trip Guides to manage all the housing and cables on your frame with style. Wednesday also has its very own dropout design as well – a rear-facing, slotted dropout that can use either 10mm or 12mm axles and exit rearward or vertically. They’re cast steel and spaced at 170/177mm. Wednesday gives you a lot of options in the tire clearance category. In the full-forward, short chainstay position you can run 26 x 3.8? tires on 80mm rims and in the full-rearward, longer chainstay position you get the option of 26 x 4.6? tires on an 80mm rim. Wednesday is made out of Surly's own proprietary 4130 CroMoly steel and is ED coated for extra protection from the elements.
The Wednesday is the result of over a decade of Omniterra design experience distilled into one steel package. It can easily ride over or through most anything our other Omniterra bikes can and then some. With the Wednesday Frameset, Surly borrowed elements from some of their Trail and Touring models to create an Omniterra whip that can truly handle anything you want to attempt. Want to point it down the side of mountain? Go ahead, roll those dice. And if you make it to the bottom, you’ll be able to ride back to the top for round two. Wednesday’s geometry is spry enough to get you through techy stuff, stable enough for the fast stuff, and doesn’t feel sluggish on terrain-crawling stuff. While Wednesday is plenty confident on terrifying terrain, it also has the chops for any sort of expedition you may want to undertake. Surly gave it all the necessary braze-ons and mounts for whatever accoutrements you feel necessary in your travels. Racks? Front and rear, friend. Fenders? You got it. Bottle mounts? How does triple bottle bosses on both fork legs and the down tube, and two sets of standard mounts on the main triangle grab you? They even gave Wednesday internal routing for a dropper post and Surly Trip Guides to keep everything nice and neat and free of rat’s nests. In the dropout department, Wednesday uses a cast steel, rear-facing, slotted dropout that can exit either rearward or vertically. They’re compatible with either 10mm or 12mm axles and are spaced at 170/177mm.
Years ago the Karate Monkey helped start the 29” wheel movement and, as time’s gone by, many companies – Surly included – have experimented with even more wheel sizes. With so many different types and sizes of tires now on the market, riders have begun to understand the effect that tire width has on overall wheel diameter, and with ample tire clearance, you can see the benefits of multiple wheel sizes all on one bike. 27+ tires have the same rolling diameter as a 29” wheel, yet you get all the traction and flotation benefits of extra-wide knobbies. And that’s just the tires. The Karate Monkey frame has recently gotten a make over that includes the addition of features like internal dropper post routing, a new tubeset that uses the same trumpet tubes found on our Instigator 2.0, and a slight tweak in geometry that is more progressive and trail-oriented. The Karate Monkey uses a horizontal dropout with a derailleur hanger that features Gnot-Boost spacing, which gives the rider the ability to run any kind of mountain bike hub they choose. 10 x 135mm QR, 12 x 142, or 12 x 148 Boost will all work in the Karate Monkey frame. The frame uses a 44mm headtube for broad fork compatibility and is ED coated for an added layer of internal protection. If, at any point, you decide you want to throw on some skinny meats, standard 29” wheels and tires can be swapped in with no issue. If you want to round-house kick some trail right in the face, the Karate Monkey is your sled.
Surly's Krampus rolls fast, holds speed, and devours corners. It's designed for 29 x 3-inch tires, offering increased traction, incredible float, huge rollover, and low-fi suspension to take your trail ride to new heights of fun. Surly built this frame and fork out of tapered and butted chromoly and gave the frame a long top tube and short chainstays, so it's playful, smooth, versatile, and durable. Boost front spacing keeps you current with the latest MTB tech, and, "Gnot Boost," rear spacing means you can run any the rear hub you want: 135 x 10 QR, 142 x 12mm, or 148 x 12mm thru axles. This frameset also offers internal dropper post routing so you're granted a license to get rowdy, which you really can't help but do on a Krampus.
If you’re like us, your bike needs will likely change by the day, week, month, or year. Surly's Ogre can get you to your job during the week, then way out of town on the weekend. The latest version of the Ogre has received some fantastic updates, including horizontal slotted dropouts with Gnot-Boost spacing, a tweaked non-suspension corrected geometry, and a beefier tire clearance — all in a 29er/27.5+ platform. Ride it any day of the week; it’s not sluggish on pavement or gravel and can also hold its own on singletrack. - Gnot-Boost spacing allows the use of 135mm QR hub, 142 x 12mm thru-axle, or 148 x 12mm Boost hubs. - Full-length Surly Trip Guide housing line guides for derailleurs and brakes - Two sets of bottle cage mounts - Disc and rim brake compatible with removable post cantilever pivots - Upper seatstay threaded barrels with mid- and low-blade fully threaded through-blade fork eyelets - Threaded holes for racks, fenders, and trailer mounting nuts - Rohloff OEM2 axle plate mounting slot - Tire clearance for 29 x 2.5” or 27.5 x 3”
The Surly Pugsley may be the original fat bike, but this one is far from the original. Previously a great all-around fat bike, the Pugsley has been redesigned to be an ideal off-road touring and exploration rig. Surly lengthened the chainstays 12mm for stability when loaded and so your heels float effortlessly past panniers. The tweaked rear rack mounts on the dropouts let you center your rack over the wheel, despite the offset rear triangle. Those dropouts will take a 142 x 12mm thru axle if that's your schtick, but can also be used with 135 x 10mmm QR hubs with Surly's Adapter Washers. Pugsley brings back the 135mm-spaced offset fork, so you can run a front wheel with a spare cog or freewheel as a bail-out option to swap with the rear if your internally-geared hub freezes up in neutral or you smash your derailleur having too much fun. A plethora of three-pack mounts give you gear-hauling options aplenty, so go wild with your build. - 100% Surly 4130 chromoly frame, main triangle is double-butted; 1-1/8" threadless brazed chromoly fork - Four sets of Three-Pack Mounts (two on the fork, two on the downtube), a water bottle mount on the seat tube, and front and rear rack mounts - 142 x 12mm rear dropout (or 135 x 10mm QR with Surly 10/12 Adapter Washers) with Rohloff torque arm slot - 135mm-spaced fork with 17.5mm offset for wheel swappability - 26 x 4.8" tire clearance in frame (with drivetrain restrictions), 26 x 4.3" tire clearance in fork
Off-road touring can be a zesty enterprise, but it's not without its perils. Bicycles are simple machines that are extremely efficient, but all simple machines carry along with them the chance of breaking down. This efficiency can get you in trouble if your bike decides to break down far away from the comforts of your parent's basement. If you’re going to ride your bicycles where no one can see, you better take gear that's up to the task. Troll is up to the task. Surly's Troll was once a simple mountain bike frame with a few extras that made it nice for touring. The Troll has evolved into a frame that has been pushed deeper into the category of off-road touring. Its geometry is no longer suspension corrected, which gives it more room for a larger frame bag. Surly also adorned this frame with their Gnot-Boost spacing, allowing you to use any mountain bike hub whether it be 135mm QR, 12 x 142mm thru-axle, or 12 x 148mm Boost hub. The chainstay yoke has been redesigned to be fully compatible with 26+ tires and the complete bike comes with the always-comfy Surly Moloko Bar. The dropouts still allow you to run disc brakes, fenders, a Rohloff hub, and racks simultaneously. It also comes with more braze-ons than you thought possible – there are four triple bottle mounts on the fork alone (don't get excited, you can only run one Anything Cage per fork leg), as well as two more triple bottle mounts on the downtube. Troll is a bike that has one purpose – and that purpose is to carry you as far away from society as possible. Man has known for eons the call of the indifferent forest. The inexorable march of time, and dumb things like cell phones, have dulled our senses and made us afraid. Reclaim your animalistic tendencies atop Man's greatest invention.
What does ECR mean? Anything you want it to. Go camping, ride the Divide Trail, disappear into the woods, and conquer any road. Surly's ECR is a super capable camping machine/trail bike that's outfitted to explore wherever you point the front wheel. Surly's favored chromoly tubing damps road buzz and provides a nimble, responsive ride. The heart of the ECR is the 29+ wheel capability, with clearance for 29 x 3.0-inch tires. Fat tires mean smooth-rolling traction, stability to spare, and a touch of suspension over the roughest terrain. On top of all that, frame eyelets galore are just waiting for racks, fenders, and whatever else to make this your pedal-powered escape pod.
When it's time to blast through miles of singletrack, nothing beats the quick, lively feel of Santa Cruz's Highball hardtail. Santa Cruz has been at it for years with the Highball, and with modernized geometry this version rips better than ever. In keeping with today's preference for running a short stem and wide handlebar, Santa Cruz lengthened the front end to preserve an efficient pedaling position, and trimmed the rear to increase agility. The result is an aluminum cross country trail slayer that's easy to lift over obstacles and whip through tight turns, ultimately making you a faster rider.
Go get all floaty at the bike park on the Santa Cruz Jackal Frame. The lightweight aluminum frame won't hold you back, so drop in and let your big whips fly. Sliding rear dropouts make it easy to run a simple single speed, or you can add a cassette and derailleur for more power in the big park. Santa Cruz did you a solid and included a threaded bottom bracket for easy maintenance and added ISCG-05 tabs for a chain guide. Nice. Now go grab that mint-condition fork you scored and get riding already.
Carbon isn't the only material that gets to have all the fun—the alloy Specialized Chisel frameset is the perfect combination of light overall weight, stiffness, durability, and alloy. Consider it the perfect start to your XC build. D'Aluisio aluminum allows Specialized to make a lighter frameset that's stiff, compliant, and incredibly strong—the optimal characteristics for a hardtail XC rig. You'll be powering up climbs, shredding singletrack, and everything in between on a bike that has you question why alloy as gotten such a bad rap. To further improve this feel, the Chisel features XC 29 geometry which took their previous XC race geo and added some trail DNA to the mix. This equates to a longer top tube, a shortened the head tube, and a slacked out front end, the result of which is a tremendous increase in downhill stability, plus a wider fit range. And just as importantly, this doesn't require any sacrifice of climbing proficiency. - Given its lightweight and ultra-stiff characteristics, M5 aluminum was the natural choice for the frame's construction. And when complemented with speed-focused XC 29 Geometry, D'Aluisio Smartweld technology, and internal cable routing, you get a bike that compromises nothing in delivering explosive speed, confident handling, and hassle-free maintenance.
The ECR is Surly's answer to those times when you just need to escape to the woods for a while to get away from the humdrum of life. Those familiar with this steel mule know it’s designed around plus tires, previously of the 29” variety. A fully loaded 29+ bike is an excellent way to explore and get away for a while… if you’re of a certain stature that is. For smaller riders, it poses several challenges though. And no one wants new problems when they’re in the woods trying to escape old ones. To solve this, Surly redesigned the smaller sizes of the ECR to work with 27.5+ while the larger sizes are still equipped with 29+. All you medium specimens out there get your pick of the litter as they're offering that size in both options. Other updates to the ECR include and are limited to: Gnot-Boost rear spacing and a killer new beige paint job. It retains the abundant accessory mounts that we all know and love like Surly Trip Guide for brakes and derailleurs, fender, rack, and Bill/Ted eyelets, and a Rohloff torque arm slot. The 27.5+ sizes also feature two sets of Three-Pack bosses. You’ve got lots of options to bring all your “necessities” with you and still have room for excess baggage if you’ve got it.

This is the second version of a 650b mountain bike from Ritchey – Tom started to design his first in 1977. Even back then, Tom had a feeling that there was an advantage to the "middle" wheel size, but it took the rest of the cycling world three decades to figure it out: a 650b (or 27.5") wheel provides the bump-eating smoothness of a 29er, with the light, responsive feel of 26" wheels. Finally, the era of the 650b wheel is here. The P-650b is a close relative to the P-29er. Up front there's the proprietary forged-and-machined, gram-shaving integrated head tube featured on all new Ritchey frames. Forged socket dropouts and a new chainstay-mounted rear disc brake mount save a few more grams. And like every frame Ritchey makes, geometry and tubing is carefully fine-tuned by Tom, to bring the legendary balanced, nimble Ritchey feel to 27.5-inch wheels. - Weight: 2,028g for frame (L/17”) - Ritchey forged-and-machined 1.5” tapered head tube - Clearance for up to 2.25-inch tires - Fork: Designed for use with 100mm travel forks - Headset: Integrated 1.5” tapered - Upper bearing: 41.8mm OD / IS42/28.6 (S.H.I.S.) - Lower bearing: 52mm OD / IS52/40 (S.H.I.S.) - Bottom Bracket: 68mm English threaded - Rear spacing: 10x135 - Front derailleur: 28.6 low clamp – top or dual pull - Weight: 2178g / 4.8 lbs (M/17”, frame only)
Surly's Ice Cream Truck turns up the volume on fat. With unmatched traction and float courtesy of super wide tires (up to 4.8-inches wide!), and the flickable geometry of your favorite trail bike, this fatty feels frisky, limber, and ready for action. The symmetrically spaced 190mm rear end uses Surly's Modular Dropout system for an array of rear axles choices. 197mm thru-axle? 190mm geared? Singlespeed? All equally plausible possibilities with the Ice Cream Truck. A 44mm headtube provides fork options, and the frameset ships with a suspension-corrected, 150mm fork with a 15mm thru-axle. Surly's proprietary 4130 chromoly steel and corrosion-fighting ED coating add a hefty dose of tough to this bike. Now, where do you want to ride your Ice Cream Truck?
The Ice Cream Truck goes where most other bikes can’t. Snow, rocks, mud, sand — you name it, and chances are, someone has ridden it on an Ice Cream Truck. Don’t let that terrain-crawling ability fool you into thinking the Ice Cream Truck is slow and sluggish, though. A long top tube (best paired with a short stem) and short stays make it trail-approved and ready to rip. And with 4.8” tires on 100mm rims, “trail” is relative. Show a snowman who’s boss, ride through a sand castle — all while riding the perfect get-away vehicle. Or you can stick to riding terrain that won’t ruin a child’s day. It all starts with Surly's proprietary ED-coated 4130 CroMoly steel. ED coating provides a solid foundation for paint externally while adding a layer of corrosion protection internally. The Ice Cream Truck’s frame is symmetrically-spaced at 190mm and features Surly's MDS dropout system, so you have the option of running a 197mm thru-axle, 190mm geared or a single speed rear end. Each frameset comes with all three MDS chips so you can choose your own adventure. A 132mm wide PressFit 41 bottom bracket allowed Surly to play with the stays a bit more and move them a little further out, creating a much stiffer rear end. If you feel like swapping out the included suspension-corrected, straight blade fork, you’ll have plenty of options thanks to the Ice Cream Truck’s 44mm headtube. In a world full of uncertainties, there’s one thing you can count on: Ice Cream Truck will really take you places. At least when it comes to riding a bike — it can’t do much to help you fix the rest of your life.
Designed for the tight, twisty, and nasty stuff, the Log Lady Frameset is a technical singletrack rider's dream. Aggressive angles, a gorgeous five-piece segmented fork, and custom A.C.E. steel tubeset make this an absolute trail shredder. The tubing is seamless, heat treated, air-hardened, and custom extruded for a strong yet light build. The frame accommodates 27.5-inch wheels, has a 44mm headtube, short chain stays, and is corrected for a 100mm suspension fork — should you choose to swap out. All of the All-City signature details are there, including signature single-speed disc dropouts, custom seat collar, and custom headtube badge.
The Big Fat Dummy is a long tail cargo bike that took a few too many doses of growth hormones. At first glance, you might say that Surly just put bigger tires on a Big Dummy. But if you said that, you'd actually be very wrong so just… don't. Think of Big Fat Dummy as more of a second or third cousin to Big Dummy rather than a brother. They share some of the same DNA and look sort of similar, but they're two very different bikes and really only interact when they both reach for the potato salad spoon at that family reunion that no one really wants to be at anyway. Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to the nitty gritty of what makes this hulking beast of a bike tick. Surly's goal with designing a cargo bike around fat tires was to create the most stable, stiff, and traction-laden ride possible while hauling a ton of stuff. Big Fat Dummy has a longer toptube and slacker headtube than its more svelt cousin giving it a nice, predictable, and stable ride. They also used thinner, lighter tubing to construct its cargo area so while it's an overall burlier bike, there's not much difference in weight. Big Fat Dummy accepts either 10mm or 12mm axles in the rear with a spacing of 190/197mm. That big ‘ol spacing equates to one thing: tire clearance for days. Big Fat Dummy maxes out at a massive 26 x 5.25" tire.* While that large of a tire provides the most traction and stability a bike can possibly offer, it's also a lot of rubber to push and might not be for everybody. Luckily, Big Fat Dummy is also a blast to ride with 3" tires too. It uses the same 100mm suspension-corrected fork as the Wednesday, meaning if you want to add a little squishy-squishy to your ride, you can throw a Bluto on and let ‘er rip. If you intend to carry a passenger on your Big Fat Dummy, Surly requires use of their Dummy Rail Collars. These provide a secondary retention system for the rack, as well as stiffen the rack system. In addition, a stoker handlebar set up, found on tandem bicycles, is recommended as well. Make sure to check with seat post manufacturer for stoker handlebar compatibility. All Big Fat Dummy framesets and bikes ship with a Dummy deck, rails, bags, and the aforementioned Dummy Rail Collars so you can immediately start hauling cargo — human or otherwise. Big Fat Dummy is ready and willing to carry all sorts of crap — literally. It's already in use on an organic farm in Ecuador so it's likely that it's hauled some form of manure by now. *Using a 26 x 5.25" tire will cause some drivetrain limitations. For all the nuts and bolts of compatibility read Surly's blog on the subject.
Let the trail be your guide on the Santa Cruz 5010. The 5010 is built for all-day backcountry adventures with 130mm of VPP travel, a short rear-end, and low bottom bracket that come together to create a playful trail bike that isn't afraid to traverse the unknown. The 67-degree head angle and longer front-center offer precise steering control on fast descents, and a lower bottom bracket height lets you climb and change course with mountain goat agility. For extra weight reduction, Santa Cruz designed the aluminum-framed 5010 with an integrated headset and nixed ISCG tabs, but otherwise includes all the features you'd find on the higher-level carbon frames to make an affordable, strong package for bagging epic trails.
What can't you do on a Bronson? You can’t give in, because going hard richens the reward. Every drop of sweat, every speck of mud on your face, every battle scar—it all shows your dedication to giving it your best on every ride. Bronson satisfies the need to roam with 150mm of revamped VPP travel that creams crusty sections of trail while retaining a lively, playful feel throughout the travel stroke. The new link design and Boost axle spacing enhance lateral stiffness, while shortened rear chain stays, a longer front-center, and steeper seat tube angle offer increased maneuverability and pedaling efficiency for all-day, all-terrain jaunts in the backcountry. For extra weight reduction, Santa Cruz designed the aluminum-framed Bronson with an integrated headset and nixed ISCG tabs—otherwise, it includes all the features you'd find on the higher-level carbon frames to make an affordable, strong package for bagging epic trails.

If hardtails are the sheep of cross country mountain biking, the Santa Cruz Tallboy Frame is a wolf on their heels. With new frame tweaks that increase its trail chops, you'll be stoked to discover where the new aluminum Tallboy can take you. On steep and rocky descents, the relaxed 68-degree head angle and 120mm fork urge you to charge harder, and a shortened rear end and more progressive shock tune provide snappy acceleration and a playful feel over smooth, rolling singletrack. For increased control through high-speed turns, the lowered bottom bracket height drops the center of gravity and gives the Tallboy a planted feel. Versatility continues with the ability to run the stock 29er wheelset or 27.5+ thanks to Boost hub spacing and a chip that changes the geometry depending on which configuration you choose.

It's undeniable that hardtails still play an extremely important role in XC racing. So what to do? Specialized put their XC offerings on a diet, went back to the drawing board, and created the lightest damn mountain bike they've ever made—the S-Works Epic Hardtail frame. To provide the optimal blend of stiffness, crazy light weight, and strength, Specialized constructed the frame from their FACT 12m carbon fiber, and with their XC 29 Geometry, the Epic is guaranteed to deliver uncompromising, blistering speed and agile handling come race day—no matter the course. On top of that, the S-Works FACT carbon seatpost features a lightweight construction and a 27.2mm diameter for superb vertical compliance over rough terrain.
Not much can match the feeling of powering up a pitch on a featherweight bike, and we designed the new S-Works Epic Hardtail frame with this in mind. It's less than 900 grams, exceptionally stiff, and it features a Rider-First Engineered design. And for its release, we designed a special Cactus Cup edition that commemorates Ned Overend's bike from 1992, making it the perfect canvas for your one-of-a-kind dream build. Over the last decade, cross country racing has evolved into a completely different animal—the courses are rowdier, more technical, and overall, they're inherently different. Because of this, we realized that the best bike for the job needs to not only be lightweight and stiff, but also be able to descend and climb with equal prowess. Determining the best geometry was the easier of the two, as we took our current XC race geo and added some trail DNA to the mix. This equates to a longer top tube, a shortened head tube, and a slacked out front end, the result of which is a tremendous increase in downhill stability, plus a wider fit range. And just as importantly, this doesn't require any sacrifice of climbing proficiency. The weight aspect was more complicated, though. We were posed with the question, "How do you take weight out of something that's already so light?" But the answer was relatively obvious: you get the best mountain bike engineers together in one room and let the magic come out. Up until now, there were two ways to lighten up a frame—use less of the same grade of carbon or use less of a higher-grade carbon. Option one is never a viable solution as it sacrifices stiffness and strength, two attributes that shouldn't be tampered with. And while we did end up using option two, we weren't content with the amount of weight we could cut out by just using a different grade of carbon. So how else do you cut weight? Well, we began looking at our layup schedules to see if they could be improved, which shed light on a new discovery—layup inefficiencies. Beginning with our Rider-First Engineered frame technology, each size Epic Hardtail is specifically tailored to size—every carbon layup and tube are exclusively selected based upon hundreds of hours of collected ride data. What does this mean for you? It not only creates the optimal balance of rigidity, weight, and responsiveness across every frame size, but it led us to the discovery of how to save weight through the studying of the layup. Through extensive layup studies, we made the discovery that, by further controlling the construction and layup schedules, we could drastically decrease weight, all while maintaining the ride characteristics that you'd expect from a top-level XC race bike. With this discovery, each frame now features complex cut carbon plys that allow difficult junctions to be covered with less overlap. And while this does complicate the carbon frame puzzle by adding more pieces to the mix, it allows us to design and place them more intelligently. The result of this is a lighter frame, stronger junctions, and a drastic increase in stiffness. We then took the weight savings one step further by using Japanese military ballistic-grade carbon, which we now call 12m, to create the lightest mountain bike we've ever made. How much lighter of a frame, you ask? Less than 900 grams for a size Large frame—the same weight as a full 24oz Purist water bottle. - To provide the optimal blend of stiffness, crazy light weight, and strength, we constructed the frame from our S-Works FACT 12m carbon fiber. And when combined with our XC 29 Geometry, this Epic is guaranteed to deliver uncompromising, blistering speed and agile handling come race day—no matter the course. - To match the prowess of our S-Works Epic HT frame, we paired it with our lightweight and compliant S-Works FACT carbon seatpost.
Tested and proven by Specialized's gravity team on the World Cup downhill circuit and ridden in freeride contests across the globe, Specialized's Demo 8 Frame will help you go faster and bigger than ever before. With super-slack geometry, 200mm of terrain-flattening travel, and a low top tube, the Demo delivers point-and-shoot handling, perfect for stomping big hits and railing the nastiest rock gardens. Controlling the rear end is Öhlin's revolutionary TTX coil-over shock. It boasts adjustable high- and low-speed rebound as well as high- and low-speed compression damping for the ultimate in tunability and ride quality. This burly platform was designed around the 650b wheelsize to maximize speed and control, so build it up with a big-travel fork and fat rubber for a World Cup-level DH rig.

Burger Time, which has a 20-year history in Bismarck, is expanding across the state.
General manager Sean Marconi said the restaurant plans to open more locations and update its look.
“Minot used to be the fifth busiest (location) now it’s the first,” Marconi said. Bismarck is the second busiest.
Burger Time has eight stores across North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota: Grand Forks, Minot, Bismarck, Fargo, two in Sioux Falls, St. Cloud and Moorhead.
Marconi said the company plans to build second stores in Bismarck, Minot and Fargo, as well as stores around the Bakken region in Williston, Dickinson, Watford City, Stanley, Ray and Tioga.
“There is such a scarcity of food up there,” Marconi said. “Everywhere you do go up there is slammed.”
Marconi said the restaurant will fit well into the busy oil field market because it has drive through service so people can get in and out and eat on the road. He said the amount of food customers get for their money also is a draw.
People are also reading…
“People really do like our burgers,” he said.
To reach that target market Marconi said the Bakken locations will be built along roads like Highway 2 on the outskirts of Williston.
“We don’t want to be right in Williston,” he said. Instead the restaurant focuses on serving people as they enter or leave an area.
At the Bismarck location, Marconi is hiring new staff for better service and improving the restaurant with updated picnic tables, landscaping and lighting in the parking lot.
“It’s a good location,” he said of the restaurant at 1320 E. Main Ave. “I just want to improve the overall image of Burger Time ... It just looks old because it’s been here so long.”
Marconi also said he wants to add new products like fresh squeezed lemonade.
“I think that’s going to do really well,” he said.
Marconi said another location will help the restaurant reach the parts of Bismarck that have grown since the original location opened. He said the new store and layout will have indoor seating too, unlike the Main Avenue location.
Marconi said the goal is to get the first new store built this year. He said the second Minot location will probably be the first new restaurant built.

The BBC missed numerous opportunities to stop the abuse perpetrated by DJ and television star Jimmy Savile, a report into his crimes has revealed.
Published on Thursday, the Dame Janet Smith review criticizes the broadcaster for letting the star continue to commit offenses with impunity.
The former BBC presenter and charity figurehead died in 2011, but allegations of sexual abuse emerged after his death. By October 2012, complaints about Savile had been made to 13 different police forces across Britain.
The star is alleged to have sexually abused roughly 450 victims, who came forward as part of Operation Yewtree, the police investigation into widespread abuse by Savile and other high-profile figures.
Sexual assaults took place at six hospitals and on BBC premises, with victims’ ages ranging from five to 75. Police described the abuse as being on an “unprecedented scale.”
The report found there had been “serious failings” at the BBC, which allowed Savile to sexually abuse 72 women on its premises.
Smith said the report should be “sorry reading” for the BBC, blaming a “macho culture” of sexism and an “atmosphere of fear” that kept employees silent on the issue.
She added that BBC staff were “more worried about reputation than the safety of children.”
A statement from the BBC Trust’s Rona Fairhead said she was saddened by the results of the report.
“I am saddened and appalled by the events recounted here and in a few moments I want to address how we will aim to ensure we never allow them to happen again.
The reason Savile's abuse was overlooked by the BBC is because they did not, and still don't, consider this type of behavior abnormal.
— Max Keiser (@maxkeiser) February 25, 2016
“But our primary thoughts must be with the victims – the survivors of the abuse perpetrated by Jimmy Savile and Stuart Hall. Today’s reports lay bare the full horror of what happened to them. Those experiences can never be erased.
“No one reading the reports can be in any doubt that the BBC failed them. It failed, not just them, but the public, its audiences and its staff.
“It turned a blind eye, where it should have shone a light. And it did not protect those who put their trust in it.”
By the way, people who know what's coming are taking advantage of the up to 50% off savings on our storable food!

Mr Cameron said Tories would take a "brazenly elitist" approach to the school system, barring anyone without a 2.2 degree or better from teaching and giving heads the power to sack failing teachers and reward high-performers with bonuses.
Meanwhile, Mr Brown promised a new National Internship Service to give 10,000 undergraduates from poorer backgrounds greater access to professions like medicine and the law.
The theme of aspiration is likely to be a key battleground in the campaign for the election which must be held by June 3 but is widely tipped to be called for May 6.
Mr Brown signalled his determination to woo the vital middle-class vote in a speech at the weekend in which he promised to unleash "the biggest wave of social mobility since the Second World War".
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said the package indicated Labour was fighting on "a programme based not on core votes but on our core values of raising aspiration, expanding life chances and building a Britain of opportunity for the many, not the few".
As well as the National Internship Scheme, Mr Brown and business minister Pat McFadden unveiled plans for structured assistance for the 130,000 brightest secondary school pupils from poorer backgrounds; a new Social Mobility Commission to produce an annual report on moves towards a fairer society; and a Gateways to the Professions Forum involving representatives of 60 key professions.
Meanwhile, Mr Cameron launched the Tories' draft education manifesto in south London, setting out plans to attract the brightest graduates into teaching, with an offer to pay off student loans and provide bonuses for those who perform best in the classroom.
He also announced plans for a Teach Now programme to allow people to transfer from professions such as banking and the law into teaching without having to do more exams, saying "only the best professionals with the best qualifications need apply".
