Very nice Moots ! Super fun on hardpack gravel with those tires, probably quite a challenge if the gravelroad gets a bit rougher.
|
Yeah, it's not setup for gravel in that picture. I have another wheelset with some Specialized cross tires.

Tried my Salsa on some rooted single track today. I got through but scared myself ****less! A mountain bike it is not.

Rides great. Really stable on loose terrain and fast. Have a gravel grinder race in 2 days and will really put it to the test.

A bit different:

Picked this up a couple weeks ago to act as a carrot to get me back to riding after my broken leg heals.
Just bought a Moots layback seatpost. They sure are proud of these titanium bits and pieces... :( http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/z...A3E0957816.jpg |

My Fuji Cross Pro that I use for Rail - Trails. The wife and I take off every Friday and do maybe 20-25 miles out, eat, then ride back. I just put on Clement X,PLOR tires, and they work great. We might do the D&H Rail/Trail in NE Pa. as our big ride of the year. |

Nice bike. How do you like those mustache bars? I've always liked the look but couldn't bring myself to buy them.

Very nice ! What did it start out as ?
I swapped out the stock bars for the drops, installed the new controls, and fitted the drive components and racing wheels. It curbs out at 23 pounds nekkid with the lighter Schwalbe tyres. |
That's a pretty feathery setup! Very cool!

Hi all,
I'm pretty new here, but wanted to share my commuter/grinder as well. It's a 1988 Trek 7.2fx workhorse, with a few extras that include a Brooks saddle with suspension post, RAM mount for my Garmin GPS, Richie adjustable stem (which gave me the fit I was looking for), a trailer hitch, and of course the bag mounts. It's an aluminum frame with a steel fork, which works pretty well on Missouri's Katy and MKT trails. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=402583 I'm not a big suspension fan overall, but it has made breaking in the Brooks just a little nicer on the bumpy terrain. The Pletscher dual kickstand is the latest addition, and I'm absolutely loving it. Any bike cabal members from G+ might recognize the proud zombie raccoon on the seat tube. :rolleyes: I'd love to upgrade the drivetrain and wheels, but unless I come across a used 7.5fx for a bargain I'll probably save those bucks for a nicer quality CX. Bradd |
