Howdy,

Well I've been scouring craigslist for some time, for that perfect deal. It landed in my lap a few weeks ago, a funny story no less. I find an ad "Bike for beer"... ok, I'll bite, and click on it.


I cracked up laughing and emailed the guy, he was only a few blocks away. I had an 8 pack of Shiner left over from a party that weekend and offered that up. He haggled in two 24ozers from the corner store... Deal! He wanted the cheap stuff, I even splurged and got him a 24oz Corona and a 24oz Dos Equis. So, I've got a new to me bike for the price of 10 beers.

Cleaned the bird poop off of the bike, lubed it all up, tuned in the drivetrain, and added some parts.

I rode it to work for the first time today, after waiting to get some new parts. I've got a used (given to me) Manitou fork and new headset, seat and seat post, Crank Bros Candy pedals, two rear LED commuter lights, a NightRider Ultra Fazer 3.0 headlight, and some sette grips. Bike is to serve a dual role as a commuter and trail bike.

I'm in it for less than $150 and all of the stuff is bolt on... so I'm happy.

The bike as it sits in my shop at work.

We'll I've put almost 400 miles on my beer bike..... commuting to work while I rebuild my Montero.

My lapierre xlite cross bike...
The best photo I have shows it in in natural habitat...boy do I miss cross in the Pacific NW...now all she sees is dry dusty AZ forest roads...

What a great bike! When I raced for Citroen/Citer in France from '94 to '97 we rode LaPierre bikes on the road and the cross course. Ours were steel and heavy as a crate of chains. Great looking race rig, Flagster.

My name is Christophe. I finally, after many moons saving, planning, waiting, waiting, and waiting some more, ride this:

Thank you Daryl at Form Cycles for building such an amazing frame. It was worth the wait, for sure. All good things are.

Looks like a heck of a nice ride!

Ok never sold the redline but a pugsly followed me home and dam it's fun to ride. It's not a light bike but I ride to keep in shape so It helps. Rode a section that my 650b Jamis has pucker factor on and the pug just went through and down it with no pucker and at the bottom it felt like I missed a turn..

Pug = fun

Really like the pug but for few more $$ I can get the moonlander. So if anyone is looking I can get this one for $1200 before I give it back to the shop

Do you need a Moonlander? For extreme snow or sand riding, I can understand. But for trails, the Pug is better. Plus the interchangeable front/rear wheel is awesome.

Besides, I believe you can fit BFL's on the Pug?
