My Other "Rides" - UPDATED 7/21/10 PICS OF MTN. BIKE
« on: 16 - Jul - 2010, 05:02:44 »
I'm all in Tour de France mode right now (Go Saxo and Andy!)

Here's my other "rides":

2007 Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL, Gerolsteiner blue, Dura Ace 7800, Roval SL-45 carbon deep section wheels:


2007 Specialized Transition Comp, Ultegra drivetrain, Specialized carbon trispoke wheels:


2004 Cannondale Adventure 400 hybrid, my commuter bike, all stickered out with reflective tape and big fenders (about 6 miles one way to work, rain or shine):


2006 Iron Horse MkIII full suspension mountain bike on Manitou shocks and Juicy carbon hydraulic discs.  Just added the rear rack so I can put my commuter bags on it when I want to ride it to work.  But honestly, it's not often.  It's like driving a Mack truck.  Heavy and slow, but sometimes I just want to ride something different than the C'dale.  I take the rack off when I actually go mountain biking:

Wow, nice set of bikes!  :good:

I only have one MTB, well, probably doesn't even quite qualify for that. But I use it for everything...commuting, fun in the forest etc. Probably should upgrade soon.

Tron has arrived at work :SCNR: - nice set of bikes. I have to get my bike out again but the last weekends it always was too hot to do any activies outside (except for changing wheels ;) )

nice, I was have one that I used back in college to run with the bike messengers around town. I still want to get a bike similar to this.

The first 2 bikes look awesome! :good:

I'm considering getting a bike for daily communting, but it must be one of those folding bikes (i.e. Bromton bikes) 'cause my office is pretty small (and the apartament, too). And I won't let it parked in the street - in Barcelona bikes get stolen very very quickly :no:

Wow.. new racing bikes are pretty ridiculous. Those carbon tri-spoke wheels must be great!

This is my current ride:



It's an mid 90's Trek.. one of the first bike frames to use a carbon composite. At the time they used carbon tubes with aluminum forks and rear triangles. Still pretty light even by today's standards. Which is good because I carry it up to my apartment which is on the 6th floor. No way I'm keeping this baby on the streets of NYC. It's my friends bike and he put a lot of money upgrading everything.
