I love it! '90s hybrids are so cool. What brand and size tires are on it. They look thick...38s or 40s?

Very nice!! Other than the components and color being different the frame is the same as crosscut. :thumb:

That thing looks super clean, and barley ridden! love it!

I agree with hokiefyd, the 90's hybrids are very cool.

Picked up a Schwinn Searcher Sport men's frame from NASHBAR a couple years ago, built it up and didn't like it.

I pulled it apart and used the components on this Schwinn Searcher GS frame I got off Ebay for my wife. It was just the frame, I found a matching fork that looks a lot better than the factory black fork.

Had the other frame collecting dust so I decided to give it another shot last Fall, turned out a lot better and now I love it. Since these were taken I switched to a SunTour fork with lockout and an FSA MegaEXO crankset and BB with Shimano platform/SPD pedals. I was going to upgrade derailleurs too but so far these are working exceptionally well.

Top work! Looks great.

Picture is a bit fuzzy

This looks nice! What model is it?

Thanks! It's a Specialized Roll Sport

Now that mine's accessorized a bit......

The simplicity of that black & white colour scheme is a real winner. :love:

Sorry. Off topic I know but this makes me laugh every time I see it.

Man, some people go overboard with accessories on their bikes.

I think it looks great! I like the trunk bag. :thumb:

Does your top tube bag interfere with the rear brake cable any? I imagine your rear brake cable runs exposed for most of the length of that tube. Did you slide the velcro straps underneath the cable?

Thanks :). I did not slide the strap under the cable, no interference.

My new ride - mildly accessorized!

i could not agree with this more. it's insane the amount of things people strap onto their bikes and where they strap them on etc. bags and bags and bags attached to every part of the frame, 6 things mounted onto the handle bars, etc... it makes me cringe but to each their own...

Why should it matter what people strap to their bike's.....after all its there bike.

Here is mine loaded

Well I've multiple bikes for this reason. Bikes with lights and bikes without lights. bags, etc..... for those with only one bike and they use the bike a s a transportation tool. strapping stuff to the bike is unavoidable.

As for the top tube bags, Love them! I'd rather do that then wear a bicycle jersey with pockets. :thumb:

My 2017 BMC Alpenchallenge 105

I've been intrigued by these BMC hybrids for a while now, in particular two things:


1. What kind of ride/vibrations do you get with an aluminium fork
2. How fast is this bike? Is it faster than a Sirrus or FX?

1. Mine is the AC01 version and has a carbon fork. The ride is similar to my Sirrus Sl4 carbon bike.
2. I'd say it's the same as the high-end Sirrus far as speed goes. Never owned an FX so can't speak to it.

Better photo. For some reason the lighting on my last one caused the green to look odd..

So this is my first post on these forums. Been lurking around for a bit. a few weeks ago picked up this jewel and what a pleasure to ride! I absolutely LOVE this bike. I will be cresting 100 miles on it this weekend.
