Nice. Looks like a lot of fun. I really like the cream decals over blue.

A local Scott dealer??? That would be great. No more trips to western NY. I guess I will give the shop one final shot.

Nice! Nothing new to play with, but I'm hoping to get in a knock-the-dust-off ride tomorrow.

Nice. Looks like it will stand up to some abuse. I'm doing a shakedown ride on my Surly this afternoon. I just finished outfitting it for loaded touring.

The Ells is almost ready as well. New drive train, fresh fork fluid, new brake pads, fresh suspension bearings, new cables.

It's time to ride!

35 riders and 30 miles for the night. We heaeded over to the U f R and did a few pacelines before making it over to Cobbs hill for a 5 laps of the resevoir. I'm not sure if they were hill repeats because they were loops, not up and back down. All in all it was a good night for a ride. 3 more rides to go. Day Light savings time is this weekend so the final rides will practically be like day time rides.

Sweet to see you picked up Scott bikes too!

Well I ventured out today only to discover the path I chose was still pretty patchy with snowcover that had ice beneath it. I managed to get in a few miles on the road instead and man am I out of shape. Going on only 3 rides in the past year coupled with cooler temperatures really kicked my butt. Hopefully the burning lungs only last a few more rides, as that is always unpleasant.

Yep, 1.5 slicks mounted to a older set of rims for an easy switch from dirt to road. Honestly, this will probably see as much road time as dirt time. I'll be doing a shake-down ride around campus on this beautiful sunny day in about an hour!

Ditto, I need a trailer for the 3yr old. I've been using one of these for 2 years now, and its been great.

I think she's outgrown it now, so a trailer is in order. But we've got another little one due any day now, so it'll still get some use for the next few years. One on the handlebar, one in a trailer...my legs hurt just thinking about it!

Nothing fancy, but it makes me happy.

Found a crack in the headtube of my old Jamis HT frame...been using it as a backup bike and road monster for the last 8 years.

Snagged a steel On-One 456 for almost nothing Running a 140 Vanilla RLC...leaves me with a 69* HA. 16.75" chainstays, 23" top tube, 73* seat angle. Very similar goe to my Chumba actually, though I got a smaller frame for better standover. Still some tweaks left to do, but should be a fun ride.

Thanks Keith, what chu got? Although I think the
other sale is already in the works. How much you want?

Chicken: I used to take both my boys in the trailer on MTB
rides. I even used to ride wheelies with the trailer, until
I filmed it and saw the whiplash I was giving them!
When I ask them about it now, the older one thought
it was fun...the younger one not so much!

BTW...was rushing all day yesterday to squeeze in my ride..got all dressed
(which involves a little less clothing lately ) only
to find a flat tire on my bike. Put in a DH tube
(with a skinny tire) but it was a PITA to mount. I was sweating
my ass off before I even got down the driveway.

For Sale :: Fox F29 RLC, 100 mm, G2 offset - $400

For sale is a Fox F29 that came on my Trek Top Fuel 69er. The color is white, it has the G2 51 mm offset (vs 44mm for a standard F29). I upgraded the cartridge to an RLC and replaced the oil early last year and haven't used the bike too much since. The travel is 100 mm, but I can include a spacer to bring it down to 80. The steerer is cut to 7.25 inches. The fork is in great shape.
