Sorry, that is a 96 raleigh M60 - not M90. It has been through a lot of hard trails and deserves to named correctly.......

Hi all
Adam here, 103kgs and ride a Cervelo Carbon Soloist. A bit on the stiff side (esp on long trips) but I love the performance, reaction of the frame. Spec'd up with Record, Ksyrium ESs (as trainers) - got Boras for "racing". ITM stem/bars, Look carbon pedals....

Diamondback Wildwood, It's my Va creeper trail rider, haven't rode it much since santa wife got me my Felt F90 for Christmas this past year. Just got done doing a wheels off polish job, it sits on the treadmill in my office, the others are in the mower building, oh yeah, there's a vintage steel 10 speed Takara in there also. Also I'm 6'0", 215 lb, a clyde.

Hybrid is my main ride:
Gary Fisher Utopia 2002
Kinda like this one: https://gf.cyklokatalog.cz/utopia.jpg
Changed the saddle, clipless pedals, cartrige brakes, bar ends, cyclocomputer etc...
Been very reliable and strong since new, no broken parts whatsoever.

5'9", 200lbs. My long time partner is an '85 Raleigh Wyoming tourer. Just recently had to replace the front wheel. Rear is still original and going strong. I'd love to have a semi-custom new touring bike or recumbent, but the wallet won't allow it just yet. Maybe next year.
