The bike I have been spending the most time on recently is my Kona, it looks really nice now that I finally washed it!

I am jealous of how clean you keep a black vehicle. ):

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

I like how your supporting local business with Hayes brakes and Sun Ringle' wheels

[OxmanWI]

Nice bike and brakes!

[pOrk]

Michelle, it looks cleaner then it is in that photo trust me :wooo

Current road bike, this is how I bought it I flipped the stem and changed the seat and pedals, but I hate the head tube its way too tall. Trying to sell this one on craigslist at the moment, its a 56cm if anyone here is interested.

[Trutildeathxxx]

river trails this weekend? anyone down

[Nick]

Here is mine. Trek Elite 9.7

[Car Guy]

I would be down for this in a second if I had a bike to ride, but I've been dragging my feet on buying one.....:rolleyes:

[Korndogg]

I have been talking for a while now about busting out the bike again. its been a while. i dont even remember what i have anymore. nothing too special but it works lol

[lasttimearound]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/spydercrawl/Camping07023.jpg

only one i have right now, its a fisher mullet frame, with a couple bitter components.

[pOrk]

^ I missed out on a great deal on a mullet from craigslist. Sweet bikes you guys have

[Breecher_7]

I have a Trek Y-33 and a Gary Fisher Level Betty from the late 90's. Both ready to ride and rip up some trails!

I used to do ALOT of Trail Riding.. Been a long time.

[Silver350]

I have a 09 Trek 6000 disc. I will try to get pictures up of it tonight. That bike is awesome. Took it for a 6 mile ride on Wednesday and then a 10 mile ride yesterday. Thing is a blast to ride.

Eric I am down for the ride just let me know when you are available.

[stenchmiester]

im always down for a good ride i have a specialzed hardrock and my pride and joy is my trek session 77 with a travis 185 travel shock http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e275/1kwikpony84/Picture-1.jpg

[lasttimearound]

^ I missed out on a great deal on a mullet from craigslist. Sweet bikes you guys have

Im looking for something full suspension and lighter, the mullet/bitter are more of a hucking bike so they are heavier.

[BAD LS1]

I have a old school 97' Mongoose Alta SX, RockShox Quadra 21R front fork.

Looks very similar to this only with other little visual changes. Id be game for trail riding.

http://www.teamkarim.com/bikes/used/images/071105-06.jpg

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Tom, you should upgrade that with some new wheels, fork and hydraulic disc brakes if you have rear mounts.

[lasttimearound]

which shock would you recommend? i want something new for my bike, right now it has the manitou splice.

[stenchmiester]

mine is a manitou travis

[BAD LS1]

Tom, you should upgrade that with some new wheels, fork and hydraulic disc brakes if you have rear mounts.

Lol sounds like alot of $$$$!!

This thing was pretty hot for its time, the only reason i got it is that i worked at a bike shop as a first job.

[stenchmiester]

i wont disclose what my bike ran me im sure a few on here could guess

[Mudd Runner]

id say about 700 more than mine

[CobraSnake]

I have a massive old school Diamond Back mountain bike with two flat tires. I don't know if I even have it anymore. I was keeping it at my moms house and she's been having a rummage sale, so she might've sold it.

Mark

[Silver350]

i wont disclose what my bike ran me im sure a few on here could guess

I would say 4K.

[stenchmiester]

thats about right lol

[Silver350]

They only make the session 88 now no 77. the 88 were listed at 5500 so I figured yours would of been slightly less. Very nice bike. If i get into trail riding like I want to and decide to upgrade it will be a full suspension model.

[stenchmiester]

i picked mine up on trade from a buddy and god do i love it i dont think i have rode my specialized since the only down side tothe trek is a single speed in the front but the disc brakes and longer travel with the diff front shock rocks

[Silver350]

Yeah I really enjoy my trek. I use to be a GT Moutain bike fan an now I dont know why I didnt get a trek rides so much nicer and I have a lot better components on it then I think I would of got on a GT for the same price.

[lasttimearound]

thats about right lol

Thats why im seriously considering getting an IBEX for my next bike, they have full suspension with full xtr components for 1700. for the money you cant really beat it.

edit: looks like most of the bikes are down for the season, cant wait to see what they have for the 09 model year. but even this is great for the money. http://ibexbikes.com/Bikes/ASTA-COMP-X7-Details.html

[pOrk]

I had a yeti and hated the full suspension, the fork is enough for me.

[lasttimearound]

yeah, its not really needed for anything we have around here, since 98% of it is single track. i really really want that elite nick has.

[Silver350]

Here is my bike.

[lordairgtar]

Do they make bikes for fatasses? I need to get some exercise.

[lasttimearound]

yeah, just not carbon ones. not sure how big you are, but if you are larger id suggest looking at the gary fisher biggins series, some of the most stout bikes ive seen

Erik that is the bike that I just bought. I rode it very minimal off road most of my 50miles I put on it was road use. I like it a lot. There is on on CL for $550 bucks.

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n61/Silver350_2006/IMG_0238.jpg

[pOrk]

Scott, thats the bike I'm looking at. Seems like a good price at 550, I'm going to fly over to Wheel and Sprocket this afternoon and see what they would sell one to me for. Either of you want to ride today? I'm bored

[Silver350]

Eric,

Here is the link to that craigslist ad I saw.
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/bik/893358817.html

If you go to wheel and sprocket

Print this out and take it with you.

http://wheelandsprocket.com/itemdetails.cfm?id=11764

The store has them marked for around $840. Show them this price. they will tell you it is last year but ask them if they can meet you half way on the price. I bought mine for $775 when all said and done. Like a car dont buy it for sticker.

I would like to ride but its tuesday and I have softball early tonight and then a late game next week and then I am done.

[pOrk]

They would probably do a better price for me considering I just bought an expensive bike from there. I'm goign to try and snag that one of craigslist first. How do you like it so far?

[Silver350]

So far I like it a lot. The one thing I dont like about it is that it shifts kind of rough and was thinking about upgrading the shifters on it when I have some money to piss away.

[pOrk]

Scott, want to ride Crystal Ridge tonight?

[Silver350]

Scott, want to ride Crystal Ridge tonight?


I can't tonight. I have a DR. appt at 4pm so it wont be till later when I get done. How ever I can do it tomorrow. I am going to try to get out of work at 3:00PM tomorrow so possibly at 3:30 we could go to crystal ridge. LMK..

Have you talked to the guy on CL about that Series 6? That one that he has for sale is a 2008 model.

[SmokinRAM114]

pork, that bike is awesome. i always wanted a 69er set up

[pOrk]

^ It really is, its surprisingly well balanced and I ride the ss over my kona damn near every time I'm out now.

Scott, you want to meet at my house around 3:30 for tomorrow?

[Silver350]

Anyone else want to met up there? Might be one of the few last days that it will be nice

[pOrk]

Who wants to ride today? Its nice as hell outside

[stenchmiester]

tomorrow works for me pork anyone else wanna come along

[pOrk]

Eric, tomorrow at 2:30 work for you?

[Prince Valiant]

Just finished an hour and half on the trek...need to get my butt (both my body, and my ability and literally being able to stand the seat time) into shape, lol.

[pOrk]

Then come out tomorrow with us :)

Supposed to be 60 tomorrow and 67 on Tuesday. I'm going riding both days if anyone wants to join me.

[stenchmiester]

that works for me I gotta decide which bike to ride lol yea im off 60th and grange so we can ride from my place to whitnall park or wherever the trails are

[pOrk]

You better go get some tires today, its gonna be soft I imagine and those street tires are gonna put you 2 inches below sea level

[GTSLOW]

<- I'll be working in my back yard. Should have a nice double or two by the end of april. Also gonna get some wood and build a decent sized sub box too (bmx).

[pOrk]

Did you buy a house in Madison? I thought thats where you were living now?

[Prince Valiant]

[lordairgtar]

I gotta lose another hunnert pounds before I can even think of a bike. I did order some new rims for my GFs 3 wheeler yesterday.

[Silver350]

Eric, Ill go riding again with you this year but wont be able to do it this week. I am helping my friend (That lives in texas) sell his fathers old truck and I have a lot to get ready on it in order to sell it seeing its been sitting since November.

[pOrk]

Sounds good Scott, let me know when your schedule clears up. I was going to send you a text before I went to sleep here in a few minutes.

So where do you ride that beast of a bike you have?

Picked up an old Motobecane that's so old that Napoleon prolly rode it in the Inaugural Tour de' France... does the job though.. :goofThose old bikes like that are generally great bikes. Not the fastest or most comfortable...but reliable and bullet proof. Some are like tanks...nothing you ride over will break them.

[pOrk]

The old ones are easier to had for less money, and are great for single speed conversions

[pOrk]
