I should have my hardtail rebuilt by the following weekend. 11 years ago, there was limited ability to find competitive prices for high end components. Today its a smorgasbord!

First generation Cannondale aluminum (the one with the sewer pipe frame).

Off the rack (unsuspended) fat tire mtb that will get more use when I get the kid/dog trailer hookup...

As flat as Florida is, I still use a lot of gears.... does that make me a bad person? <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

Hey, I A-Class and mountain bike. I have an X0 Castellano. I have a road bike too but the wierd things I find in the woods are much nicer than the ones I find on the side of the road.

This bring up a serious guy thing. Bikes and some trap harnesses beat the crap out of your prostate. This can cause your PSA to go up. If it keeps going up, the next stap involves needles, pain and humiliation. A good bike seat and a crotchless harness that fits may just spare you this. Your choice.

That Marine Max harness with the leg straps works for me.

Do need to get one of those new-fangled bike seats though.... Good point. Or, maybe I'll just walk...

The Inter 20's I'm rolling while going to weather find this distracting.. yet another bonus.

Distracting, I'll say, I thought I was good at being distracting to others ... my god... I was convinced you had crew and that they were about to die painfully. Nice work, I'll have to step it up to compete.

Colnago. BOOM. All your carbon can't beat vintage Italian.

Dear Interested Forum Users,

Let's take our relationship to the next level and start biking together. I'll race you to the boat park.

Love,
Sarah

Does anyone actually ride their bike?

I try to find the time to ride mine 20 miles a day, just to burn off the beer.

In CA I was cycling to Amtrak on an unbreakable Trek 930 w/ slicks and bigger 3rd ring up front for commuting. Found a great deal on a used 2200 Al fame/Carbon fork (everyone jumping on the carbon bandwagon) and built it up over time. It was much lighter, faster and responsive BUT- I just could not find a decent riding position. The more upright MB had spoiled me. If I want to go out for fun I still grab the 930 first...

How many spokes on each wheel on the bike you ride?
That is a great looking machine.

I'm looking for a bike with an ice-cream cooler in front, so I can make money while I exercise... Maybe put some ginglies in the front so they know I'm coming...

Front wheel 18, rear wheel 20. The latest high end wheels have as little as 16 and can cost as much $2,000 a set. Kinda like a new set of sails.

The bike is a great ride. The frame is very stiff in the bottom bracket area but the beam flexes about a half inch which makes for a very confortable ride.

Thanks, just wondering.
I have 16 on my front and 20 on the rear.
Alloy frame with carbon front forks and carbon rear stays.
I like my bike, it suits me well, but I really like the look or your bike.
