Costco refried beans spread better if you add a few drops of Tri Flow. I think Park Tool sells a bean lubricant too but it costs more.
The Tri Flow part is when you hit the bathroom about 4 hrs later 😂
I recommend Ballistol.
It would be super impressive to see some before and after shots of these bike refurbs at the end of the video. Really give a summary of the work you put into them.
Yeah, this one really made that obvious. Thanks for the input, I’ll try to remember on this next batch of footage I collect!
When you can create the illusion that you spent more time than you Did with WD-40 and some Flossin, Not... Neglecting the Maintinence. You see the Difference and know that it's Safe,AHHHHHH Lemon Pledge 👃👀 🙋♂️
Great video. The reason I stopped to see it, is because a friend of ours has 4 kids and a very limited budget. so, my wife and I decided to get her kids bicycles. We found one exactly like this one at the flea market, two weeks ago. Exactly the same, right down to the frame size. I did, about, 90% of the things you did on this video, except the heat gun for the shifters and the furniture polish on the black paint.
When we bought it, they had 3 Wally bikes and this Trek. They wanted big money on the Wally's, because they looked great, but, $25.00 for the Trek Antelope. We talked them down to $20.00.
I'm going to show this video to the little girl who is getting this bike.
Thanks for the video, God bless.
Brought a smile to my face.
The great thing about refurbing a bike like this (I've done several) is that the alternative is probably a landfill. If someone can ride it and enjoy it, I refurb such a bike for the cost of parts. But I'm retired, and for me it' s just a therapeutic hobby. One thing I've learned to do every time is take off the cranks. That makes cleaning the whole BB area a lot easier, keeps from cutting up my knuckles on the rings, lets me see just how bad the bearings are. and makes it way more better hey.
Those shifters: take them all the way apart, clean them properly, and add new light grease. They will work and keep working for another 20 years. But I get the reason for your process.
These old bikes are so functional too! I have a Fuji Del Rey and a Trek 420 and I don’t know if I could ever bring myself to buy a brand new bike. Once you get things lubed up on them they’re great!
These old chro-mo rigid mountain bikes make the best town bikes in Atlanta because they're geared for hills, no loss of pedalling energy from a front suspension, and the fatter tires absorb pothole shock.
Not sure if they make the best town bikes, but they're right up there. I prefer them to my past touring bikes, actually, because they are brutally strong. I sold those in favor of a 1987 Trek 820 that I still have. If you find an old MTB, and you want it for street or road use, make sure it's a TALL one. They are a whole different machine when they're too big for trail use. I can't put my finger on it, but the taller old MTBs seem to have "legs" and are not whippy, while the shorter frames are "dead" and transfer road shock to the bars. I think they put cheap shocks on them later as way to make them more attractive and look cooler.
The little bike (21 or 22 inch) in this video would be a very mediocre street bike if you wanted it to be comfortable. I'm 5-11 and my bike is a rare 25" frame (MTBs measured differently back then). With 1-1/4" high pressure road tires, it's very well mannered on long rides - especially since I have a Brooks B-67 on it. The long-gone BioPace chain rings are hill killers. I repaced the steel seat post and bars/stem with Nitto stuff I found on a couple salvage bikes. I figure they offset the weight of the heavy saddle. The old Deore shifters are still bombproof, and I like the big motorcycle brake levers.
@@user-fu9vj9ix3g My Atlanta town bike is a 1990 Giant Rincon (19" full chro-mo frame). I ride on 2" mtn bike tires inflated to about 42 psi. I tried a set of Kenda Kwest 26 x 1.25 tires inflated to 65 psi, but needed a mouthpiece to prevent damage to my choppers while riding the mean streets of the ATL. What passes for paved roads here are just too rough for street tires/psi's. And the hills can be brutal, but I can pull them without dismounting with the low gearing.
My 1993 Trek 820 made an awesome college campus bike. Slightly undersized the frame to haul into my apartment easier. Still have it as a loaner to neighbors and hopefully soon one of my kids will grow into it.
Found you from "Path Less Pedaled." Last summer I gave my 2001 Specialized Hardrock A1 FS its 1st turning, don't laugh...I know! LOL! Before I stripped everything down I boiled water and put it in heavy duty pump sprayer with some Zep degreaser melted all that gunk right off. It worked awesome! Gave that ol'bike a good deep clean, took the sprocket apart, the pedal hub, anything that had grease and bearings got dissembled and cleaned then repacked with fresh grease. New cables and housings. Basically, complete disassembly. All thanks to folks like you showing how to do this! It was time consuming work but holy shit that bike is better than new! I rode that bike hard in my 20's and never gave it any love I feel kinda dumb for how shitty I took care of it.
Hey Dude,
First of all I want to thank you for your videos, I'm greatful you decided to go at it with the UA-cam, I tried and failed so I commend you.
I bought a cheap bike but it's great for everything I need,
I watch lots of content on bikes as it seems I'm addicted and obsessive.
I just want to say how good your videos are, no high pitch buzz words, just raw content, I'm actually learning too.
So thank you brother, you are inspiring me to try fixing bikes in the future.
Bob Ross is great to watch, I love the personality.
When you mentioned what happens when the tire blows off the rim, I had the best laugh ever.🤓🖒 A few years back, I pumped up the tires on my Trek 850. I went on a ride, came back home, and parked the bike in the garage. I proceeded to work on the bike, but I was hearing occasional grunting from the bike. Suddenly, one of the tires blew! It scared every one in the neighborhood. Some one called the cops, thinking some one was shot😎. I think there was a lot of urination released in the neighborhood that day... Again thanks for the laugh...
@@GNMi79 That happened to me more than once and my ears are ringing worse ever since the last ime about last summer.
Anyone who is ANYONE flosses their nether regions. But it never hurts to toss out a reminder.
Love your no b.s. videos, man!!
And from the time, effort and knowledge you put into that Trek...$299 is the LEAST you should charge. IMHO, of course.
To me, you really are the Bob Ross of bike-flipping world. Thanks!
Thanks hey!
Love what you do with old bikes! I would much rather see someone on an old Trek or Specialized, than on a Walmart bike. My only complaint is not replacing the cables. For $4 extra it makes such a difference
im definitely into your philosophy on bikes. Practical bikes as well as advice is so underrated these days.
These bikes make great little urban commuters.
Reasonably compact and relatively snappy handling. Not the bike I pick for a 40 mile ride but more fun around town imho. Would be great for a teen.
Perfect bikes for the weekend riders that enjoy a 1 hour bike ride on rail trails for sure.
I have 25" 1987 Trek 820 that has seen many century rides. The taller the frame (very hard to find), the better they feel on roads. Set them up with a Brooks saddle. lose the balloon tires and get some City Slicks, and they are whole different animal. No, you won't go 100 miles in 6 hours, but you'll get there. Shocked many a puriste' when I was an avid rider.
The taller frames have almost identical geometry of the classic touring types, with 41-1/2" axles base, proper trail, same chain stay length, all the rack bosses including on the touring type swept forks. But the frames are stronger and have all the CroMoly tubes necessary.
Shimano BioPace or the Sakai clone are under-rated advantages on hills or for older riders with questinable knees. Or, for hauling the mail. A disadvantage for road speed, but these bikes were the Jeep CJ-5 of their day - not fast, but rugged as hell.
They are potential gems for pennies on the dollar. I recommend nothing after 1993, when they got a lot crappier across the board.
Kind of neat to see these old bikes get restored, and cool knowing this helps get more ppl riding a quality bike at an affordable price. As a bicycle commuter, there’s a video no ones really done yet that I think the bike farmer would be able to do pretty good. Something like, “ how long stuff on your bike should last. What brands to choose and which brands suck.” When I first started riding to work I used Kenda tires with Mr Tuffy tire liners. They lasted all of 1,500 miles before the tires started getting aneurysms. Second set of kwest tires lasted 500 miles. I bought Schwalbe tires and now have 2-3k commuting miles on em with no signs of slowing down. If a bike mechanic made a video on that it’d be really helpful to everything but my wallet, because I’d probably buy a few of the recommendations.
i had a trek 830 antelope backin the mid 90s it was an amazing little bike .treated to xt groupset 56t to 11 gear ratio and weighed about 14 pounds with rigid forks .that thing was a rocket ship .i raced triathlon guyson the racertypebikes and never lost a race .bikes these days are so overweight but i do love a well tuned full suspension setup .and a bbshd mid drive to help 😂
A tip I have is tie a kids craft pipe cleaner on the hub centres pray cleaner and let the wheels spin or ride it.
They will be like new again.
I always keep them in all my bikes and change then yearly haha
This one's bringing back fond memories! My first MTB was a Trek 830 with the red paint w/black-white-blue spatter effect. I bought it in '96 for $300, including a strap-on rack for my car, and a shoulder-strap triangle bag with a few tools. 38lbs of love, I actually raced it in some local Dallas, TX amateur events. Way more better, hey! Thanks for sharing, see you on the next one!
You have done a great job on that bike, I had that model in black in 1991/92. It was an okay bike for commuting...which is what I used it for mostly.
Love your channel bud. I've 19 bikes to get ready for summer for sale. These are old bikes from my friend Robbie's old shop. He's also now a sub of your channel. I may just do a video or 2 myself. Thank you for your expertise and general great outlook. You rock man.
Thanks bike farmer. I’ve learned a ton from you. Just tuned up and changed the shifters, cables, and handlebars on my Trek 830.
Awesome! Thanks!!
I love working on bikes and always find it therapeutical watching these sort of videos. I don't necessarily expect to learn anything, but this time I picked up the heat gun trick with the shifters. Nice work and hope the old Trek makes you a few bucks
Do you ever watch Joe Pera? I get similar feelings watching these videos. Kind and gentle, but not afraid to pull your leg.
Good Stuff, I've been flipping bikes for years, one thing I've found that replaces all the stuff you use, to fix/lube cables, fix non shifting shifters, clean, degrease, chain lube, even wax believe it or not, Jerk Off Super Duty Penitrating Lube.. it does almost everything, you can use lube afterward, but it usually does fine on its own. Keep up the good work.. I also like 00 steelwool for chrome, rust, no water, just the 00 pad. Happy Trails
I had to chuckle when you had to remove the Avocet cycle computer ring, it brought back some good memories of my earlier shop days. Thanks
These types of bikes with rigid forks, actually pretty good components, and rim brakes, are what I always try to steer my not-into-bikes friends towards when they say they "just want a bike to ride around on that pedals up hills well." Sadly, they almost always get talked into "needing" something brand new at 3x the price, 5+ pounds heavier, and low-end mechanical disks that are endlessly rubbing or not working well (because they're not "bike people" who understand living with mech disks).
I just got a new job at YT Industries in San Clemente California!!!! Tried dawn power wash on my personal bike works sooo good!!!
Thanks hey!
Idk why I found this channel but I’m liking it. It’s like Bob Ross but not painting
If you got 299 thats great. Bought my 820 new in 1991 for 350. Same splatter paint. Still riding great.
Hard to believe but $350 in 1991 is just shy of $800 in todays dollars.
Thanks for doing these videos. I was looking and found myself a nice mountain bike with a lot of rust. Got it up and running, greased the grease spots and sanded the rust. Only cost me a can of black spray paint and a new chain. Now it just looks ridden instead of neglected. Ill probably turn a profit when its time to move on.
😃 yay! that's one of my bicycles, i have the black paint version, i got it for free from my brother, its pretty ancient, the one I have has been here for over 16 years, this spring i replaced one of the bike tubes, and sprayed oil on some things, its a good beater 😊
I rehabbed the exact same model about a year ago. Didn't get much for it. But at least it was a survivor from the trash heap or sitting out behind someone's house returning to nature. And, love them old Treks (and old Specialized, and old Mongooses, and old . . . )
That's what I want to do I'm a recovering alcoholic with almost 6 years sober and I'll have 7 years clean off all drugs in September so it's a new hobby of mine and I have ADHD and it's something good I can obsess over and get my hyperness out of me😅😅😅🎉🎉❤❤❤ I want to order that tool kit I have really good knowledge as I race Motocross and I always had mountain bikes growing up I'm 38 so I can work on them and stuff myself 😁 love your videos when I can I will financially support you through patreon🎉
12 years for me! Good to keep those hands busy!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Looks just like my Trek 820 in Aqua Blue / Hot Pink neon colors of the 90's 😎😎
I'm a DIY bike hobbyist and your videos have really helped me. Plus, I felt sorry for you and didn't want you to lose your ass on the Trek
Every time I see a bike or a motorcycle in a status like this one I get the itch to buy it and save it. But I always keep in mind past experiences with sub-frame bushings and on bikes specifically, bottom brackets. Rather keep my money and buy something good for me (since I don't flip stuff anyway).
You’ve gotta be a special kind of stupid to take in a project like this expecting it to ever be “worth it”
Picked up a 2002 Opus bike that sat outside for at least 3 yrs, this is Canada... Wish me a lot of stupid.
I was expecting more problems and you would need to replace some more components. Seems like you will do OK if you get $299.
Fun refurb Bike Farmer. I always check the tightness of the crank attachment nuts/bolts. My first mtb was an 87' Specialized Rockhopper and one crank arm fell off in the first 10 minutes of riding - and it was brand new from the shop.
I was glad to learn your power wash technique. I was feeling guilty about never washing my bikes, just didn’t want to go and take up public space by the hose in my apartment building. Now I have a routine that works better for my space
and if you don't want to spend a ton on Dawn power wash refills i learned an awesome trick from another youtuber. Fill the bottle a third full with any old dish soap, add a 1 mississippi worth of rubbing alcohol, then add hot water to fill the rest of the bottle up. It works exactly the same as the stuff in the refills and you save a ton of money by not buying $5.00 refills.
This Nike is way better than those newer trek POS’s you usually fix up
I rode this tyoe had the same paint but light blue, Nishiki Colorado forever. Took it mtn biking almost everyday for years
Oh yeah! Totally!
Great bicycle I have a 92 antelope 820 that I converted to a Swytch Bike kit with a 250 W front hub motor ! When I was going through everything last year, I thought my front chain ring was somehow bent and then I learned about Shimano biopace chain wheels !
Really? only 2 hours per bike on average? If that's true you are "way more better, hey" than me in terms of efficiency. But now I have a goal to shoot for. Using the heat gun on sticky shifters is new to me. Thanks for another fun and instructive video. Oh, and I use gloves before touching the bird poop!
Nice resto!... just subbed. My friend in college had a Trek 820. I trail ride a 98' fisher hoo kok e koo all the time.
Awesome vid!!
I have the same bike in blue splatter.. in the barn😬.. its actually a machine shed.. I really need to get it out again and give it a good tune and lube
Nobody ever taught me that a heat gun could be used as a remedy for recalcitrant shifters (until now that is). Brake cleaner and lube often works, but I reckon I've given up on a few that I probably could have saved with that trick. Where did you learn that Andy? Thanks as always for your great videos
Never seen the heat gun trick, nice one. Now I get the music after you mention Bob Ross. For my 10 speed road setup requires prestine cables so teflon coated and jagwire cables are essential for good shifting.
I have one of those I just restored it. Same paint. One of 3 treks I found in the garbage. One I sold. One has 26in wheels and a huge frame. I think it says 27.5 inch frame. I love and ride it all the time. Just had to replace crank bearings after a while.
Lunch: Turkey/Avocado with a slice of tomato a slice of provolone cheese, and dark leafy greens for its lettuce.
I do hope you kept the Avocet cycle computer wiring as they still fetch good money. They still have a good following.
The barn was dusty but the cable was clean.
I got that super high production value ad for the new Specialized Epic after your outro, so I let it play through. Hope that helps! 😂 They really have your audiencd figured out with that one. Guess it's the Trek content triggering that. I've seen ads for the Dawn powerwash before, too. Looking forward to sponsored content with them, lol.
You could do all this work here in the UK and would be very lucky to get 50£ for it. It's a shame but the lack of safe cycling infrastructure is the main reason people don't want utility bikes.
I love this type of bike, great for a pleasant ride out on the greenway, you did a great job of giving it many more extra years of life. Keep these videos coming, very pleasant to watch, Thank you.🚴
Def $299 material with that hot pink bottle cage back on it. Nice work, hope it sells quick for you.
+1 for the hot pink bottle cage
Just found your channel I'm 57 and started riding 3 years ago now I'm riding 20 miles a day most days, of course I will miss days here and there from weather or if I'm busy in the garden or to busy to go, been binge watching your videos maybe add a link for spoke wrench.
Twenty five or more years ago I used to nap to Bob Ross on PBS. The brush cleaning sound was was my trigger to relaxation.
It's great you do bikes like this considering how expensive new bikes have gotten. These frames still have a ton of life left in them.
That bike was almost identical to my white Schwinn I bought in 1991. It has the same handlebars, shifters, derailleur and cantilever brakes. It's spring and I ponder getting a new bike. Then I see the bike video from this guy who fixes bikes near Madison and figure WTF, my bike probably has another 30 years in it.
I’ve never blown a tire off a rim before but I did have an inner tube blow in the back of my car once. I legit thought someone shot at me.
That’s all 1990’s bike shop stuff to include the greenfield kickstand. I’ve built lots of those low end Treks and installed so many of those greenfield kickstands too back in the day.
Igot an older Trek bike from my landlord he found it basement of apartment ITh3 rented.The fork,both wheels,sàddle
I had to replace but now its awesome ride it daily. Its a 35yr. Old bike
Go Trek
A little pro-tip on kicking up those Costco refried beans a notch. They are pretty dehydrated straight out of the can, empty it into a bowl and mix in some water to rehydrate and thin them out, then microwave. You can even add some additional spices to "jazz" it up as you see fit. Game changer.
This is definitely solid advice. I’ve done the same thing 😅
Hey this is Bike Farmer! He would rather “jizz” it up any day 😂
I recently got a 1991 Trek 950. I believe it’s my duty to rescue old bikes. Even though it would be cheaper not to. It’s a great way to learn. Also, corporations need to go on a diet.
I love those videos ❤ very useful to learn how the bike works 😊 im gonna have my park tool repair stand soon 🙋🏻♀️
Those bikes are a jewel nowadays here in Chile considering the state of the bike market. People have been searching for this treasures and giving it a tune. Love that frame!
That was the first MTB I ever had, got it back in 99’. I’d love to take one again on the trails just for giggles!
I wouldn’t normally watch a 30min vid, but this one flew by. Very entertaining (and informative) thnx 😊
Some steel wool and WD40 should go a long way on those rusty cables. Housing's still gonna be rusty inside though.
You should sell the bike to someone who would take it fully apart and build it back up again. Like me. That's a great old bike with the Chrome Molly frame and fork. That bike will last for generations if taken care of.
I still have it. Come buy it.
Last year I bought a trek 800 for 35 euro, did some cheap tuning and sold it to a kid for 50. I was sure a shop would ask 100+ for it.
I rode '97 Giant planet-X for about 1500km, bought it for 50, replacing the cable housing for grip shift was a bloody nightmare, new brake pads, pedals and even though I didn't have enough knowledge..it was so much fun to ride on gravelly stuff. V-brakes are the best brakes I never use...fucking love v-brake from a mech perspective. But the lever feel never got good enough for me to get good with wheelies, stoppies were pretty good. I love seeing yt mechs struggle setting up v or cantilever brakes. As a kid in the nineties..my dad bought this beautiful alloy bike with shimano canti lever brakes and they felt like the best brakes ever. My current bike is probably a repainted ex rental Trek 6500SL, paid 200..but spend another 800 on it in just 1 year haha. The frame accepts discs and v-brakes, and I basically replaced everything but the fork/front wheel/shifters/frame....should have upgraded to 1x11spd but I went with 3x9 again. The muscle memory for it is still active and I love using it. The mtb market is completely sh1t in the Netherlands...I have a beautiful Orbea xc bike in medium, tuned it up,,everything works perfectly (cheap fork that went rigid over time) but ppl don't wanna pay more than 65 euro's so I had to leave it outside to get rusty =.=
Thanks! appreciate the advice for nether region care!!!! Way more bettter!
These are the types of bikes I get for about $25 to $30, fix them up for another $30 worth of parts costing me anywhere from $55 to $60. I can ride them anywhere and lock them up with out worries of it getting stolen.. 😃
Yeah. Absolutely!
I have a schwinn ‘92 high plains with the same group on it. I’d buy that for 200 if I had a need. I also have an 02 820 with nothing original on it because nothing lasted. Would buy again for 85 tops. Also, speaking of the group set, that trek has a solid RD that’s light and reliable. Crank always just works. I buy into the theory of bio pace but I doubt eccentricity on those chain rings has any real impact.
The very best 31 minute therapy session you can get! Thanks Bike Farmer! Key West Rick
I agree: The Dork Disc is there for a reason. It's only REALLY goofy if you wear the old one on a gold chain around your neck.
Was wondering if you re-sell the drop offs like the bottle cage? Something simple like a '$1.00 Box' for used grips, bottle cages...
2:23 eu usaria um alicate de pressão para segurar esse parafuso... I would use pressure pliers to hold this screw
Another great vid, man. Thanks. You've inspired me to give our bikes a bit of love today.
As soon as I can get off my lazy arse... 😉
Cool video, especially the heat gun for sticky shifters tip. That's excellent. I'm thinking you didn't open up the hubs/BB/headset because you were already looking at a slim profit margin for this bike. Presumably you gave them a spin/wiggle/feel and decided they felt ok, with no obvious play/grinding etc?
nice that you have a market that you can flip bikes and make a few bucks. bikes are a cheap way to get around and also include some exercise. some racks, baskets and even a trailer can make a bike so much more useful but I'm sure that talk is just preaching to the choir. 👍
You're doing great work, BF. As an aside, don't know who opens up for you with the acoustic guitar but it's perfect for your channel. Also, you show what you're doing so folks get to learn a lot whether they have interest in a specific model or not. A wealth of tips and tricks.
Nice, just had the same bike in on the weekend, except in black. Unfortunately had a taco-ed rear wheel, all rusted cables, both tires needed replacing, and both shifters were beyond repair. Bike ended up as scrap as just wasn't worth it.
If you have a local bike co-op, take it there instead of scrapping, because there will be lots of good used parts there to bring it back to life. Every bike co-op has a build crew that builds bikes to sell to keep the lights on. They only build from quality frames tho.
@@josepha8759 I run a bike repair business from home, there was little left that was usable
Gotta say, that pink bottle holder really tied the bike together
Great video. I'll have to get some Dawn Power Wash and some Pledge. Maybe they will sponsor you! I used your links to put them in my cart.
If you have some 409 spray cleaner, that works too. 409 can bring back old tires pretty well.
Simple green is great as well for degreasing and cleaning.
I had that bike back in the day. Mine was purple. I saved up and bought it with paper route money.
Can really feel you channeling Mr. Ross on this one. Good show!
I had an aluminum rim for a car split apart when I changed the tire and was seating the tire to the rim... a lot of pee and a little bit of poop came out that day.
Hello Dan here I’ve been a bike mechanic since 1991. Still currently in the industry . Just a suggestion if you throw on a new shifter set and includes all the cables and housings new grips, new chain and cassette . ask $375 . I think the complete shifter set wholesale is $20 and grips would be five a new chain 8 and cassette 12.
I was asking myself the same question. But after some thought I would say it's more of a filosofical approach here aiming to preserve and restore instead of raising profit.
Thanks! All the best from Scotland.
Thank you too!
Turned out nice!! Great work for some new 2nd bike life!
Watched the path less pedaled podcast and you should do a video on figuring out how to maintenance suspension forks. Not very profitable business wise but seems like a good "warts and all" video.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Nice! An Alternative Tentacles sticker, I knew we could be friends!
Awesome, thanks. Ride safe everyone !
I saw Woody and shouted out, “Woody Chairleson!” Then my wife called down to me to find out what I was doing.
“Watching Chairs” I said.
She thought is said Cheers. I left it at that. Our secret.
I think the bike community needs some…
WAY
MORE
BETTER
HEY
… stickers.
Great job !!!
The pink bottle cage would have really matched the Barbie movie aesthetic. Probably worth another $50. :)
Get those kitties some treats. Or don’t. It’s your money. 😂
Won’t! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I picked up Dawn Powerwash. Works well. DPW!
Hubs are spinning remarkably well for not having been serviced.
no way i'd spend more then 200 on an 820 antelope. 200 is a fair price for a fully working trek though. I don't wear an apron at the shop, as I worked resturants for 20 years and I get PTSD flash back from having to wear them. I like your apron a lot though, is it custom? You ever use Kroil? I find it creeps better then tri flow. I use tri flow for personal on the road use, and sell it at the shop, but when working on bikes I use Kroil. Its awesome. Pedros bike lust is amazing too. those old deore components might make it worth 299. Those will last forever. Speed clean works great on shifters too.
Ur vids so funny. Does remind me a Bob's show but colorful humor. A bike whisperer, I think. Thanks for sharing.
I’m enjoying your channel from just across the border in MN.
