Foo - 2006 Foo Rigs Only

A bunch of us got or built new (at least to us) bikes this year - thought it would be fun to have a thread with ONLY those new rigs! Refurbs are OK too :)

Since I started riding again this year all my rigs are new to me except for my mtb which I did a bunch of stuff to.

Here's my Downtube folder and my mtb (halfway to being refurbed there) hanging out at the Savoy:

Wow. 44 pounds? That doesn't sound very portable.

Built the road bike in early December:

Then bought the new snow bike a few weeks ago:

Parents house.

But even if it was mine.

Is there something wrong with floral print?

Is there something wrong with floral print?

no no. nothing wrong. i just figured it might be an odd choice for a younger person to choose these days.

Well if it was me I'd probably be using crates as furniture.

Yeah cuz we from da hood! :D Ghet-toe!

Well that and, I only want to waste my money on bikes.

This is my Flyte build. You guys are lucky, most people only see a cloud of dust and the back tire.

Brooks Leather....get the conquest, sprung and designed for ddrops. Great long distance saddle!

My latest! 86 Schwinn Passage

that's pretty sharp. how does it ride?

Not bad, considering the studded tires. ;) I didn't like the ride of the stock Vittoria Randoneur Xcross tires that came on it at all, made it feel really slow and sluggish, I think the Klondikes roll better even with the studs!

Wow. 44 pounds? That doesn't sound very portable.

Yeah - it wasn't much of a problem for me to carry around but it was funny watching others try to lift it :D I had a lot of stairs to climb and the folding takes longer then newer designs with QR.


And Tom, I know, I know! One day - have to get the bike going first even if it means just sitting on the seatpost for a while :eek:

my 06 Trek 6500...finished building it in either july or august
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j301/minesbroken/P10100034.jpg

These are works in progress.

My Turner Flux. I am so excited about this bike. It's presently in scooter mode.
http://stradasystems.com/mtb/images/flux_wip_001.jpg

My road bike project. I have collected most of the bits for this bike but I have not really decided if I will build it up. The way I see it, if I have a free morning or afternoon I would rather go mountain biking. Maybe I'll sell the frame and get a cyclocross frame instead.
http://stradasystems.com/mtb/images/feltf3c.jpg

that turner is badass! nice

no no. nothing wrong. i just figured it might be an odd choice for a younger person to choose these days.
Actually, you should have seen some of my 20 something furniture. Goodwill at that time only had floral prints.

The Gazelle was finished in Janurary of this year, the Passage purchased and upgrade in June/July, and the Flyte will be finished some time next week.

(See Signature for Pics and details of all three)



{on a mod-ly note, let's try to keep the bike posts contained to the Post your Rides and Rigs thread that's stickied up top everyone. That's what its there for. Thank you. **

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/wethepeople101/kooie.jpg

ur chumba's at the ski hill? wtf?

what cranks and bb size and pedals are you running on ur mtb, i might be ineterested if they're still availible...

No room to keep it here, plus I just opted to leave it there at the end of race season, it's fully insured and I can pick it up anytime.

And you dont want the cranks and BB, cranks are both cracked, and the BB has powdered bearings :p.

Man, with that rocker in the background in that particular alignment, my first thought was WTF, did Specialized make a recumbent? Then I realized my error!:D

:roflmao:

I just got this 1976 Schwinn Voyageur 2. I realize now that I can fit a 62 cm frame. This bike was one step below a Paramount and has Dura-Ace components.

You kidding, that's what the new generation of Dura-Ace looks like.;) :D

It's the first Dura Ace bashring I've ever seen.

SXT! SXT!

i have a Raleigh Record as my project for 06. As of now no updated pictures because it's getting repainted soon as well as a SS conversion. But for Foo, i will get a pic tomorrow.

Yea, that is different. The frame on this bike was made by Panasonic and the workmanship is top notch. I'm just going to clean this bike up and ride it. I'll have mswantak make new downtube decals for it since the old one's are gone.

My only bike purchase this year...

The Chez Marc Le CHOUCHOU:

Ooh, now that's the sort of bikey beauty I enjoy. So lovely...
