Thanks! I recently upgraded to an RFID gear system and have smooth shifting for the first time in months! It’s a shame

I've been looking at a Trek Slash (9.9 XX1 AXS Flight Attendant Gen 5) this week.
More bike than I "need"...
But the price.
Trek is having a fire sale or something, almost 50% off!
And it has wireless shifting and dropper.
These decisions kill me.

So far the wireless shifting is a very worthwhile upgrade. Is the dropper wireless? Either way, dropper posts are nice too

Yes, derailleur and dropper are Sram wireless.
Decisions, decisions...

You could buy the bike or a few knives… hope that helps!

$7500 could buy a few really good knives.
Maybe even a custom or two from the thread OP.

the bike industry is a hot mess right now. Way over inventoried, especially in the high end, so it's a really good time to buy a bike. I doubt a chance to own the highest of high tech for 1/2 price will come again in our lifetimes....

Bet Lorien wouldn’t even have to get off the bike.

I had some fun riding this around over the weekend at Dave Lisch's custom knife show...

From the bent crank it looks pretty crashy. Like really big crashy.

Needs more crushing. Unless it was hit on a rack.
