Thanks...not sure about all that though. I have to say that I love where this bike can take me...as I have a lot of barrier islands and uninhabited beaches to explore. Last weekend I took it over to a island with my kayak and had a blast. I had it down another one of them hilly and sandy dirt roads yesterday....got some speed going down a hill...thought I saw only 27mph... I just downloaded the garmin and it says my max speed was 34.4! (no way) At least it's not grey or sliver like most of my other bikes.

Just picked up the other week. Never thought I would get a road bike but after ridding one I became hooked.

There are some very nice bikes here. Thanks to all for posting them.
This is my 94 Breezer. Ive had it since new and its been my main bike even though ive had others. Old school thinwall steel mtb.
My "new" MTB is a Norco I built up with assorted bits from 06-13. Its nothing fancy but very functional. Hydroformed aluminum is one of the best values these days IMO
Stock Shogun Kaze I bought NOS. A funny bike from the 80s. Painful to ride for more than one hour. Very fast. Very stiff
I <3 English 3 speeds. But instead I have this thing. I wish I had a Sturmey but instead I have the 333 hub. I still love it
A full suspension thing built with a BMX frame and a 24" fork. Suntour XC Pro levers and Yeti grips. It once had XT thumbies and a five speed freewheel - which made it a five speed POS instead of a one speed POS. Colnago decals for speed.

Need to update things a little as I sold my Pugsley but picked up my BRC hybrid and an old Raleigh ATB for fixed gear winter riding.

Since I put some knobbies on my Sawyer I thought I better post it here. Got a good deal on some 2.4" Maxxis Ardent Skinwalls and a aged Brooks B17 that I dyed black.

I think back a couple yrs ago to the 1st time I saw one that someone posted here and I knew I had to have one. At the time I had no desire for a Mtn bike and getting a 29er never crossed my mind! I'm really liking the off-road stuff now.
I love seeing all them steel oldies that you post on here!

Since the last post of my MTB, I've changed the cranks, changed the saddle and post and removed a few of the stickers off the wheels.
I love commuting on this as it can easily take both trails and road, kind of like a hybrid I guess, just heavier, lol

Thanks....I took this picture when I put the Serfas on there. I was seeing what this bike rode like on paved trails. This was before I got my Giant. I put the knobbies back on there and now it's dedicated all mountain. I am running Schwalbe Racing Ralph fronts and Kenda Small block rear.
