DUDE! That Ross looks like a frame for somebody 7 feet tall, but your new Transeo looks good for a 6 footer. Are you a shape-shifter?

1986 Bridgestone 400. I added a bunch of stuff that I had on hand and it is a really nice riding bike. These were considered to be the "lower end" of Bridgestone's line but I really like it!

And I just picked up a new (unused) matching Blackburn front rack for $19.99. Score!

I love my bridgestone MTB. And that is the first time I have ever seen drop brake levers used horizontally. It all came out really nice though.

A few upgrades for the Pug... Suntour; Honor, half ratchets, wide range Sntour 6 speed, and 27 inch Schwalbe Marathons.

She is such a sweet riding bike.

This picture really makes me want a Moustache handlebar.
What bag is that?

The bag is an older style" Kevin"s Bag from Rivendell. I think they renamed it and it is now the Sackville xtra small. I know some folks don't care for Rivendell but this bag is really well made and really useful.

Thats an interesting Mercier. What hub is it? Fill in the year models etc.

Lovin' that Mercier build! Are those "interruptor"-type brake levers? How well do they work? Do you get enough leverage to lock up the brakes?

Beautiful bike, that Mercier, gorgeous color and details and finish - but, needs fenders! Hammered aluminium to go along with that metal-flake paint and gorgeous anodized controls, I'm thinking.

Hello Again
 

I haven't posted to this forum since my Introduction several years ago, but I have been lurking and reading since then. I recently started to do a 30 mile round trip commute once a week on my 2009 Specialized Allez Double that I bought a month and a half ago, so here is what I am currently riding and fear to leave locked up outside during quick stops. Not pictured are the new Shimano PD-R540 pedals (boy was that a learning curve!!), Seat bag, PB Blaze 1/2 watt and PB Superflash.

I am in the process of locally trying to find a suitable, not too cheap, steel 10 speed to use as a dedicated commuter that wouldn't break my heart if it were stolen and that I could keep in full commuter mode whilst the Allez will be my weekend fun bike. Fun part to my added commuting is that I am a Marine and I PT my Marines 3 days a week and I PT on my own the other 2 days, so I should be in really, really good shape soon!!

This bike has been fun since I got rid of the slow and heavy cheap MTB's I was using. The past few Saturdays I have been just out riding each morning exploring back roads I have never been on around here. Today I had a coworker ride with me on a mock commute to our office and we both had a blast on the little excursion. I thank you all for keeping me motivated to start commuting.

I'm envious!

The Decision to purchase the LHT was a difficult one, as the Crosscheck was a VERY close second. :)

Paint is all done. 7/7/10…. notice my little tribute to Alaska. Why is that ? Because Alaska is home to the toughest bike riders in the world.
