Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Ichi - Do you have a UPS reference number that can be used for general tracking on the bikes?

Thanks.
NO, I used the Marlboro supplied "order number" and used that on the UPS website as a "reference" number.

I am also somewhat concerned about the "changes" in the fuji Nevada 4.0 bikes noted in a recent posting.. Gonna go check on the Fuji website for description.

I have seen some new commentary on the bike size. LOL. Thought we covered that all a long time ago. The bikes ARE ADULT SIZE. The FRAME size is somewhere between 15 and 17 inches which is the size for a normal 5'8 to 6'0 height Adult. Tire size is 26". Step over height (the important measurement) is around 30 inches and then you need CLEARANCE in addition to the Step Over Height, of around 2 inches or more. Many pro mountain bikers like a 6 inch clearance. Many people equate step-over-height to pants inseam length. It's not the same, but can be a rough approximation. Take your inseam and then Subtract an inch or two to get the Step over height that should fit you.

Ichi
I just checked the tracking info on mine and have the identical schedule. Delivery on 4/28/2011. I am slightly put-off, though, that they are coming from China. Even Japan would have been better. I guess it is getting harder to find products made in the USA. It's such a shame what our government and corporations have done to this country. Mad

"Fuji Bikes, is an American distributor of bicycles built in Taiwan, China, and Poland. The company is a descendant of Nichibei Fuji Cycle Company, Ltd., a bicycle manufacturer originally established in Japan in 1899.

The company took its name and logo from Mount Fuji, a Japanese symbol of strength and endurance. After ownership changes, the company was purchased by Advanced Sports of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."

They still are excellent bikes!

You're a mermaid music fan because you like to swim! I also based my vote on the creativity in their display of the product. Yep, that gift card was a nifty win!

Good Morning to all.
I don't know if there is anyone here to help me right now. I just received an affidavit for the potential winner in the Disney Mars Needs Moms Family Quest Sweepstakes.
I don't remember you posted it here or how I found it. But if everyone knows what I am thinking about and still have the website. I would really appreciate if you could post it. So I could go back and see the prizes.
Thank you in advance.
