New BMX Classified Web Site

A friend of my has just introduced a really cool BMX Site called BMX For Sale.  Since we are all fellow bicycle fans here I thought I would share it with you. The focus is very simple…a classifieds site for all things BMX including Complete Bikes, Frames, Parts, Clothing and Collectibles. There is even a section for the 1980′s BMX Movie RAD merchandise (Lori Loughlin’s best movie!).

Listing for BMX classified ads will always be free and include up to 10 Photos, a link to your own web site, search engine optimized layouts and a large area for descriptions. The site is currently offering free upgrades to it’s listings including Featured and Highlighted options that will normally cost $5 each. One super cool feature on this new BMX site is the Twitter feature. Once you post a BMX listing on the site..the post is sent directly to their popular Tweeter page for other BMX enthusiasts around the world to see. This BMX for Sale site is the perfect place to list your BMX swag and best of all you can list items in under 1 minute! They also have a BMX Facebook Page and are looking for New fans everyday…so Check them out if you get a chance.

Putting the Hoss in the Saddle

Hoss wasn’t a brand that I was incredibly familiar with; most bike shops in my area don’t carry the brand. However, when I found myself with a gift certificate to Hoss I didn’t hesitate to order a pair of shorts because all my shorts are now snug in the waist. I blame this entirely on my wife, who shrinks all my clothes in the laundry. So after much thought, meditation, and prayer, I chose Hoss’s Stallion model. The Stallion model is a handsome board short cut and I prefer that style.

For a company not as well know as Fox, Oakley, or Pearl Izumi they did a superb job on the construction of these shorts. First off I ordered them a size larger than usual–every pair of shorts I have ever purchased for biking run small. I attribute this to a mafia conspiracy. So the fact that these shorts fit was the first plus.

The next thing I noticed was the chamois. The softest thing to ever handle my undercarriage. One of the nicest things about this chamois is the smallest and finest stitching of any chamois I’ve ever worn. I have a pair of shorts that were expensive, but they have massive stitches holding the chamois to the shorts, which gives me a very unpleasant rash on long rides. I haven’t gotten a rash yet from this chamois (plus!). Another thing I liked is the chamois on a removable mess short liner with spandex leg grippers. I haven’t ridden without the chamois yet, or swapped the liner into another short, but you could if you so choose. It’s nice to have option.   Read more
