Need Help ID’ing Parts

Need Help ID’ing Parts

I’m trying to make an exact clone of my childhood GT Interceptor. I remember all the parts I upgraded except for the stem and grips. This is the only photo I have of it. I think it may have been a DK stem and ODI Mushroom grips, but I can’t remember if that’s right. Can anyone confirm my fuzzy old man memory?

Old School GT Meets Mid School GT

Bought a 1994 GT Interceptor Suspension 3 years ago. I had a 1990 as a kid. Loved looking at the ‘94 but it just wasn’t what I really wanted. Got the itch and started searching fleeBay and found a Frankenstein’d ‘90. Before I said goodbye to the ‘94 I decided to let these two beauties meet and rub chrome for a few days. Both gorgeous in their own ways, but that salami cut top tube is where it’s at.

YouTubeTV Channels Missing From Live (again)

This same thing happened about a year ago. All of the sudden YouTubeTV channels are missing from the live TV listings. All that appears is Google TV Freeplay.

I can navigate to Apps > YouTubeTV and see the channels and they play fine, it’s just in the live TV area that they’re missing when they’re usually there.

I can’t recall what the fix was last time, but I know I wasn’t the only one experiencing it. I think it happened after a YouTubeTV over the air update.

Any help would be appreciated!

Need Help ID’ing Handlebars

Bought a Frankenstein’d GT Interceptor with these bars on it. I’ve never seen handlebars like these before with the flattened cross bar. Anyone know what these are?

Anyone Else Have A Hard Time Differentiating Psoriasis from Mosquito Bites?

49 y/o never had psoriasis until earlier this year. Developed on the back of my lower legs and upper arms. Initially I thought I got into some poison ivy because I’m an avid hiker and mountain biker, but it never went away. 6 months later and many trials of medications I was diagnosed with psoriasis by my PCP.

Clobetasol seems to help with the flare ups, but they never seem to completely go away. Recently I realized they were getting much better and not itching as much as they used to, but just today I started feeling very itchy again, but at this point I honestly can’t tell if they’re psoriasis or mosquito bites, or mosquito bites that are turning into psoriasis lol. Anyone else have this issue?

Regardless they’re super itchy and sometimes I can’t resist scratching them, which of course makes them so much worse. They start very much like mosquito bites do, raised red bumps and turn into yellow crusties.

I really need to go to a dermatologist because I don’t feel like my PCP is very well versed in other possible treatments because she told me Clobetasol will eventually make my skin much thinner.

Is Focusing on Updating Aging Website the Right Move vs Ads/SEO/Email?

I’m new to the Digital Marketing world. I have a BS in Graphic Design and worked 25 years in a variety of design rolls (graphic, product & web) for large consumer goods corporations. I lost my web designer job in Feb due to the company going belly up and had a difficult time finding a web design or graphic design job, so I widened my job search to include marketing. I landed a digital marketing manager roll at a small company in May.

Coming from a web designer roll, my first order of business was to suggest updating their e-commerce website, which accounts for about 70% of their total sales. The site was built in 2020 and needs some work. Outdated cartoonish images, terrible UX such as listing 90 individual page links in the results navigation instead of “load more” or at least just next and last links, huge fonts for headlines and old oversized stock images, etc.

My boss (who’s the owner) is very adamant about reminding me I was hired to increase sales. He was a little hesitant to accept my proposal to fix the images and UX saying he didn’t feel that’d be a real sales increaser. I explained the poor UX and design could be turning visitors away from making a purchase due to lack of confidence, which made him a little bit more on board with spending time reworking all that.

My main question is, is this the right strategy or should I be more focused on the other aspects of digital marketing, such as SEO, Google Ads, Social media, email marketing campaigns, etc than fixing an aging website if the end goal is indeed to increase sales? He complained that in the past they spent a bunch of time and money on ads and campaigns with little to no sales increases, but he keeps bringing up that we need to do more of it.

I’m planning on adding product descriptions (which they currently don’t have) to help with SEO, but is that and the visual/UX updating going to be enough to make a real difference in sales? What do you all target first if the main goal is sales increases, maybe not so much customer impressions?
