Just took this pic today with the new 29er tires on. Crosstrail Disc 2014 probably over 30 pounds, it could be sorta fast with the right rider but I'm not really into fast. Love it.

Love the bike when the pavement is smooth. I went with the 2014 because I really was looking for a flat bar road bike and the 2015s seemed to move away from that.
The 2015 Specialized Sirrus Carbon bikes just don't get me excited enough visually outside of the Pro. I just saw the 15 Expert Disc at the dealer and the color is just flat compared to our bikes. I would say don't ever get rid of your bike, visually its awesome.

Actually they will and they look MUCH better than the Topeak ones. Here are a couple of shots of them on my Escape RX Composite.

That thing is a monster. The polar opposite of my on road hybrid. I like it!

You could easily swap it up and put the Fiat on the rear rack of the Giant!

I was going to mention the Smart Car but try to remain cordial to my fellow forum members. My parents taught me that if I couldn't say anything nice to not say anything at all... :-)

Thanks very much! I have to say, I wasn't sure I'd deliberately pick orange, but the LBS had it and it looked pretty sharp, so I snagged it up.

You're right - they DO look better. I tried to find just the arms for sale and haven't had any luck - where did you pick them up?

I can't take any credit for it as it was originally posted by DEW21. But here goes.... the bars are from any Trek dealer..Bontrager large strut kit #427332 (black) $5. Then off to the hardware store for a couple of c clamps. here is a picture of how they are mounted to the rack.

Last weekend I purchased this Specialized Sirrus off Craigslist. I haven't found a single thing wrong with it yet, and it's (by far) the most comfortable bike I've ever owned. It's by no means the best bike in this thread, but I love it so far (especially the price).

I recently bought this off mate for £10, with hardly any knowledge about bikes I'd planned to turn it into a mountain bike. Then as i read up realsied that was not going to be the best idea so just replaced the wheels, handdle bars, saddle, seat post..... Much nicer to ride han any mountain bike I've had!

The Giant rides different, its more nimble turns quicker to me. More of a city bike to avoid people and potholes. The Sirrus imo feels more like a road bike with a flat bar.

Plus, 2 wheels is my favorite hobby so needed some variety and can't stand drop bars bikes for more than 1.5 hrs.

It's been a long while since I've posted anything. I picked up this magnetic trainer from Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday. I know it's not the best, but the price was right.

Added some thick 32c's to this older Nishiki so I can ride the large amount of trials I have close to home.
