From: East coast

Bikes: hardtail, squishy, fixed roadie, fixed crosser


Interloc Racing Design frame/Ouzo Pro fork, assorted bits. Fixed with the wonderful White Industries ENO eccentric rear hub. Faaaaaast and fun. Yep, the drops are hacked off; my preferred spot is on the hoods. I don't recall the last time I road in the drops, so they get cut on my bikes. Nope the seat isn't really at that angle; the pic just makes it look very odd. 17#


Weyless-67 (the defunct Supergo's once housebrand frame name) with RS 160mm Domain fork. Front and rear with an extremely balanced feel, with travel a little over 6" at each end. Slightly shorter i2i rear shock, and slightly shorter fork than I was running have resulted in a lower BB height, while preserving the same seat and head angles. Feels much better this way. Has a 55mm stem on now instead of the 70mm pictured. 35# ride it all. Slow pedaling up, but worth it coming down.


On-One il pompino crosser/commuter/dirt road play bike. Feels way better than the Crosscheck it replaced. Most of the time sports fenders, lights, and a rear rack. Yep, that's a headtube exteder on the bottom - gives me a slacker angle, paired with the 46cm wide bars, I love it. I've come to prefer slack and wide on my road bikes, considering I spend far more time on my mtbs. 21#


Peyto Cycles Wild Bill frame/RS Pike Team coil fork. The one. If I had to only have one ride, this would be it. Does DH lifted days. Long, high country above treeline epics. A little urban and hack skill DJ time. It does it all, and feels great doing so. Huge tire clearance, ability to run a shorter or longer fork. Now has the 70mm stem from the squishy bike on it, rather than the 90mm in the picture. I love this bike. 27#

Yep, the hardtail and the squishy both have Gravity Dropper Descencer posts - those aren't suspension posts. Greatest addition to my mtbs since adopting disc brakes. Well worth the slight weight increase. All are heavier than they could be. I'd rather have a bit more weight, and confidence in my equipment rather thant he worry about cr@p breaking when riding. Over half my mtb time is decently out there, and solo. Ya'll don't even want to know how big and heavy my Camelbak is!
