Southern California - any one ride MTBs here?

Just wondering to see how many ride on the dirt and how many bikes each own.

1 roadie Felt f90
1 MTB race bike, Litech Magnesium HT (21lb)
1 MTB full, Giant VT2 with 5" travel F/R (XL frame + plush = aka "cadillac")
1 MTB Dirt jumper, Trek Bruiser (fun bike)

Looking to build another bike, either a TT or a cyclocross.

Bikes are adictive:D

Yep, I do.

Niner One9 SS
Salsa Juan Solo SS
Yeti 575 full plushness
Trek 1500
Trek Madone SL 5.2

I do.

Basso Reef roadie
GT 5.0 I-drive MTB

My mtb is a Dean Colonel hardtail / rigid.

1x Cannondale roadie
1x Norco Kokanee rigid mtb (entry level bike and a sucky fire-road only mtb'er)

Nice photos chimivee........can't wait to see the rest of them!..:D

Ride MTBs? Heck yeah, I MTB one day every weekend and Road ride the other. A group of friends are heading to Moab Oct. 13-17.

MTB- Canondale V3000
Road - '05 Fuji Team Issue
Tandem - GT something or other (anyone have any spare 700D tires :( )
Honorable mention - Couture criterium (that's me - I built frames in the early 80's, still have the first one I made)

Sweet pics, James - great rides, everyone!

I've been riding for almost 2 years now - nothing special - just your basic Specialized Hardrock to beat on a little. Wife has a matching one too, albeit smaller - she used it for a whopping 1 month last year before finding out she was pregnant, so after another two months it's been sitting (I took it for an occasional spin around the block just to keep the parts moving), and only 2 weeks ago did she get back on it.

Here's some pics of my rigs minus the roadie

Ouch on that first video. My tailbone hurts from watching that.

yah those rocks were sharp edges. He ended up with a bruse much larger then his hand over his bum. I'm sure he heard it from his wife that night.

Road bike is a 2002 Lemond Zurich but the bikes I ride most are:

2004 Stumpjumper M4 hardtail
and
2006 Stumpjumper FSR (replaced my 2002 Gary Fisher Sugar 3+)
* * *

Where do you all mostly ride? My favorite trails are in Limestone Canyon (Orange, CA), Fremont/Blind/Weir and up in Chino Hills. After work I generally do Peter's Canyon to Irvine Park to Weir Canyon. Sometimes but not often ride Laguna Coast Wilderness, El Moro and Aliso Woods.

Hmmm, when I do ride mtb, I ride Carbon Cyn (Chin Hills) and Claremont Wilderness Park. I was coming down CHWP at 24 mph after a rain. Hit a rut and flipped over the hb's into a bodyslam. Broke my helmet from back to front. Didn't feel any pain so I thougth I was dead. The pain did come a few minutes later when I realized I was bleeding all over the place. Broke out a crown too! Haven't had much interest in downhilling since then!:D

Bikes? Between Gina and I, we have:

98 Cannondale R800- upgraded to DA 9 (his)
05 Pilot 5.2 (hers)
84 Celeste green Bianchi (hers)
05 Lemond Tourmalet (his)
98 Burley Duet tandem (theirs)
87 Specialized Crossroads hybrid (hers)
04 Trek 8000 (his)

and two pair of rollerblades!:D

I'd just like to note how patient I've been. I only asked you the first day and I backed off. Just remember who your real friends are James. :D

I don't want to see the pics.

That fancy reverse psychology won't work on James. He's smart. Did you know that he works at a university? Only smart people can work at those places. Oh...and happy people. I think his parking lot has the friendliest attendant. EVER. :D

So whatever happened to Kasey, the self-proclaimed hottie?..:D

Back OT. I have a '95 (is it really that old?) Cannondale F600 with a broken (but locked down) headshok, crappy components, a SI Flite saddle with cracked wings that grind into my ass, and the-lightest-touch-and-they're-locked V-brakes. It's currently relegated to towing my kid around in a trailer, so it's got street slicks on it.

I'd LOVE to overhaul it, since the frame is still solid, but for what it'd cost to swap everything out (new shock, crank, wheels, derailleurs, brake levers, saddle) I could just get a used beast on craigslist.

I like mountain biking too. Here's my Dean Colonel.

NIIICE!!! And a Scott AT-3? I've got one of those. I guess they fell out of fashion when riser bars came along.

Thanks......I don't care for riser bars....:D I love these Scott bars. I had them many years ago on my old mtb but sold that bike complete. While I was building up this Dean frame I saw these NOS Scott bars on Ebay so I snatched them.

How do you ride without pedals? :)

I just got a new (to me) hardtail. We need to setup a SoCal BF mountain bike ride.

I thought you were supposed to take them off for photo shoots...:D

Yeah, I'm still not sure I understand the point of them... but anyway...
