I would like to see a literal bike "quiver".....I think stable is the more approriate term here. At any rate thats some collection of bike, are you running a shop?? LOL

What with the reflective wheels? I like that.

Do you mean the CPSC-mandated Extra Rotating Weights or the light flash off the machined braking surfaces?

Is that just the machined surfaces of the rims?? They reflect so much that I was thinking its some sort of reflective decal or finish done for night safety.

Euro city bikes used to have a full-circle reflective strip, about 1cm wide, about where the one big CPSC reflector would sit in the spokes. Believe me, that was a spooky thing to see in the dark. Most drivers here would be "WTF? Is it an alien?" seeing hoops floating off the pavement.

I took mine off and put 3M reflective tape on every set of pedals I own. Everyone recognizes pedaling motion for what it is.

Since we live in Georgia and don't have the opportunity to ski every weekend, we bike, so we need (I use "need" liberally, but RR should understand the vernacular) a bike for every occassion

I get blinded by those things every time I pull into the garage with my lights on. They are reflective white walls on the commuter bikes. The good think is it really makes them visible if you ride at night.

You guys all have clean bike must not be riding them enough.

My first mountain bike is now being revived.

93 Schwinn Moab
chromoly frame,fork, handlebar
32x16 SS
ergon grips
ghetto tubeless tires on the stock rims at 20 psi
blue groove 2.1 front panaracer 2.1 rear really should get a blue groove for the rear as well.
basically a beater right now but might end up being a nice bike if I like enough. I am leaning towards weight weeniing it out this winter right now though.

ugly as sin, but fairly light and very quick.


got to love the reflectors right?

80mm marz marathon air fork and bb7 for front in the near future. and eventually disc tabs and BB7 for the rear. then who knows? new cranks to external BB. mid lined wheel disc wheel set? I think 23lb could be had on this bike.

Old no clue what year Trek 1100 picked up from an alta instructor thanks to lonnie for 50 bucks!!! gets alot of use.



then my "big" money bike not really but it worth much more than the other 2 combined.

2005 Trance 2 1x9
Reba SL Fork
Fox Float R
Hayes 9(these suck and will be replaced soon)
shimano XT cranks surly 34 tooth SS chainring
MRP mini me rollerchain guide
SRAM X9 trigger shifter
SRAM X0 rear derailluier
SRAM 990 cassette 11-34
SRAM hollowpin chain
Mavic 317 rims with DT swiss hubs
ghetto tubeless
2.4 Panaracer fire freeride front
2.1 Kenda Blue Groove rear

The other night she was sitting in the rack near the front door of my bike shop after our spin class (we spin on our own bikes on trainers) while I made a purchase. I looked over and some random dude and come in and not only was looking at it but picked it up. : Step away from the bike dude!

These are the only bikes I have currently up and running, except the red one, which needs a new BB.

Yeah, thanks.

That's a '04 Marin Mill Valley with numerous upgrades (Thomson zero offset seatpost, Fiziks Nisene saddle with chrome bumpers (thanks, Comprex), Cane Creek Stratos wheelset, Time Atac pedals, Conti Gatorskin tires, Jandd Expedition rear rack, Rema Tip Top patch kit (see under waterbottle cage), towing a Y2K Kona Nuna on a BikesAtWork 63A trailer. The Kona has a lot of replaced but not upgraded parts. There is a Fiziks Nisene saddle (with red bumpers) on it. I towed it to a my local bike shop and had a new BB installed.

My "quiver" of one - 1995 KHS Montana Comp. Still going strong. Still love it.

Stock Shimano XT crank, derailleurs, cassette, chain. Stock Zoom 170 bar and Bontrager saddle.
Both the original Shimano shifters crapped out, replacement combined shifters/levers (also Shimano) forced the switch to v-brakes.
Rims are stock Bontrager BCX-1 (front) and BCX -2 (rear). Front tyre is the original Panaracer Dart II from '95. Just swapped the original rear Smoke II for the Conti Race King 2.2 Supersonic shown.
Shimano SPD M-324 combi pedals.



Apologies for the pink bottle cage :)

SPEND LESS STILL HAVE FUN!

Decided to get back into MTBing again this summer, but did not have a lot of $ for a new bike. Picked up this Specialized Rockhopper, weighing in at about 29 and 1/2 pounds for $530. The good news; it has the M4 frame with strong and surprisingly lite wheels(relatively speaking). To get the weight down I spent $300 total for: XT rear derailleur, Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires (410 grams each), Selle Italia seat, Crank Candy pedals, axle bolts, and a seat post collar w/bolt. New weight 26 pounds 2 ozs.

Point of the story: This inexpensive bike climbs fast and long, especially with front fork locked out.

Yesterday's ride: 3180 vertical, 9.3 mile climb, total distance 18 miles, 4 miles paved, 6.4 singletrack, 7.6 dirt road (with deep ruts as bonus).

For me, I believe it is mostly about the engine, not the wheels under it. This Epiphany came after I spent countless thousands on cooler bikes.


Not an especially lite bike, but now it has a very lite wheel/tire set, with low rolling resistance from tires.
