Thanks! Just wish there was more gravel around here :/

This is my 2004 Fuji Cross. Not the fanciest bike out there but I really like it. The only downside with the stock bike is that the spokes on the rear wheel were defective and I've had to replace a few of them. Other than that the bike has held up very well. It's reasonably light and very responsive. I also really like the cross gearing up front (48-38) and the reasonably big cogset in the rear (12-27):

Do you ride at night regularly? Might be a good idea to get another rear light for your saddle bag.
Your current set-up might have the saddle bag blocking your rear reflector/light from a driver's perspective. Just saying ... ;):beer:

The lights were a temporary set up and I didn't use the saddle bag when I rode it at night. They're coming off as I have a dedicated commuter with lights.

Thanks... I built the custom rack since there is not a lot of off the peg stuff for the Pugsley and custom racks are what we do.

Rails to trails bike, salsa fargo.

I was amazed to discover this new "gravel grinder" category. I used to take my cro-moly Trek Multitrack out on dirt/gravel roads back in 1995 so I know how fun it can be. I've still got one of those old Multitracks and I think it would be a terrific gravel grinder with it's MTB geometry. However, my main bike is shown here. I just got a set of Salsa Cowbell 3 handlebars and I just need to get some V-brake compatible brake levers and I'm going to start going for distance and I also plan to try out gravel grinding.

Ready for the season. Well, at least the bike is.

^^ I like it!

The old Trek 700 series framesets make great gravel grinders, that's what mine is. You can squeeze up to a 45mm tire on depending on the tread and brand. Schwalbe Smart Sam 40mm work great and give you enough clearance to shed a little mud and debris. They are extremely tough and comfortable framesets and can be had inexpensively. If you find a Trek 730 of about 1990 vintage, you have a treasure with the full cro-mo stays and fork. The 700s of that era had a cro-mo main triangle but hi-ten stays and fork.

building this frame up as a lightweight klunker I plan on riding on the trails and think it'll make a good fireroad gravel grinder. May put the rigid front fork on since the fat tires will give a lot.

My 19" 1995 Trek 730 was my first good bike and old Treks will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason. I also have a 21" 1995 Trek 730 that I bought a year or so ago and it's a better size for me. Both are Made in the U.S.A. True-Temper OX cro-moly throughout.

Here is my 21" with an aftermarket fork and 40mm Schwalbe tires:

Yep, that looks a lot like my 1993 700 except mine is red with white graphics. Mine is also 21" with 40mm Schwalbe Smart Sams and is presently getting outfitted for gravel centuries. I've always wanted a 21" 730 frameset but they don't seem nearly as popular in this area. The entry level 700s are all over the place. I got a 19" one for a few hours of volunteering at a bike coop.

The situation is the same here. I watched Craigslist almost hourly for over 3 months before a 730 popped up. I'm not even sure that any 700/720 models were on the local Craigslist at that time.

I still check CL several times a day because I'm looking for yet another Multitrack. My only complaint about mine is that the fork has 40mm of rake which gives a very high trail measurement. The last year or two of Multitracks, Trek switched to a 50mm rake fork and I want to find one of these models for the fork. Since they are all threaded it unfortunantly has to be a 21" model. The last lears of production also had longer chainstays (44.5cm) than mine (43cm) but I like sport so I would keep my frame and add the slightly newer fork.

Do you have two Moulden customs or are the photos of a blue and a black bike the same bicycle? Both are awesome looking bikes.

Sweeeet!

These! Very nice. I like em both but the All City just does it for me. That black and cream paint rocks. Is it a nature boy?

Same bicycle... I had the new powder done up last fall and wanted more in the way of a stealth finish and less of the 80's pastel blue.

The original paint was in sad condition and the bike really needed to be re-done.

Can't say enough good things about those Schwalbe Smart Sams in 40mm. They'll handle anything I have the guts to try on a rigid steel frame.

After seeing a bunch of cool gravel-related stuff at Interbike, I have a feeling that this thread is going get a whole lot longer.
