Sweet Lynskey! Bare ti frames make choosing bling colors easy. Grey ti goes with everything.

Sweet bike. I have never seen a twisted frame. I like it. I bet you get double looks at that bike.

I sold my hybrid bike and purchased a 1995 Trek 9900 Carbon mountain bike, it handles quite nice and accelerates pretty quick.

Time to get a cyclocross bike to fill out your stable haha. Seems like a nice ride. Vintage carbon is quite cool looking.

I think he's referring to it being all black, which it isn't fwiw. So in reality, it's not murdered out.

All black is murdered out then. Black is the only color the frame and fork came in. It's my first build, mostly SRAM X7 components except the crank and BB.

Black gets dirty really fast.

Thanks for the comments on the Lynskey...even on the terribly ugly tubes. Not sure that I'm a huge fan either, but my brother is stoked with it, so that's all that matters. The helix tubes seem more subtle in person.

The rotors are Hope floating rotors with black carrier. Running Hope Tech X2 Evo brakes.

That Lynskey is sweet!
That Carbon TRek is classic premium style.
And that Yeti is just drop dead gorgeous. (I don't even see where there is a stem to match)

Haha. Maybe I'll repaint the cap turquoise. I do have turq. rollers rollers for the MRP; might change one out so there's one white, one turq.

It's a direct-mount, bolted to the top crown.

Word. Why have we never seen pictures of it when it is dirty? Or are you a spray down right after the ride hotshot?

2002 Trek 6700

I posted this once awhile ago but I've made quite a few changes to it since then. The bike was heavily used when I bought it and the only things that are now stock are the frame, fork, and headset.

I don't ride it; I just sit in my basement and gawk at it.



Ya, it pretty much gets hosed down after every ride. Then the rail-and-car get cleaned and re-greased. Religiously.

It's more like "Acosted".
