the one on the giant site isnt yours though.

no pic, no bike.

here's my rig out on the trails, where it belongs.

Nice! I wish I had the space to build ladders and drops...

Exactly

Thats right! We DEMAND pictures.

here is mine,
It's a 2005 Trek 4500 stock, other than 6" Avid Mech discs front & rear and a pair of Michilen all mountian tires.

I <3 that colour scheme. So classy!

2001 Stumpjumper hardtale and 2004 Stumpjumper FSR expert disc. i have a slight specialized addiction. I apologise for the sub par image quality but to my dismay this picture, (which is over a year old) is the only picture of my bikes by themselves.

By the way rasheed how did you get your pic so big? I had to dial down the size on mine to get it to upload and it ended up TINY.

ah i love that stumpjumper fsr, i am only on my first bike so that is not goin to happen anytime soon.

that's the size the camera took it. i don't have photo editing software on my laptop (my desktop's been out of commission for a few months now, too lazy to reinstall xp and all the other programs). i've got that shot uploaded onto another site and just used the [img] tags to link it to this one.

Wow! A set of handlebars on each end! Guess you can ride it in either direction

Thanks a lot! I managed to take a new picture of the bike and uploaded it to a site so hopefully it is displayed below.



I am in love with my FSR, it is my baby. I have only changed a few things on it like the brake levers (Dangerboy) and front tire (2.0 to a 2.2). When the new sram stuff comes out i would like to put X.0 shifters and rear mech on there but it is sounding like they wont be available until mid to late August. In the mean time i think ill be building up a set of wheels using American Classic hubs and the Stans NoTubes under 350 rim. If anybody has had any experience with either of these products i would love to hear what you think about them.

Here is a pic of my bike, I cant remember if I've posted it before. Its a K2 Sidewinder FS with dual-suspension and disk breaks



Can anyone tell me
1. What type of pedals these are(the blue ones)?
2. Where can I find them?
3. Do they come in red?

1. Crank Brothers Mallet C's
2. Almost anywhere online or your LBS can order them
3. I don't think so.

I know this is not those exact pedals but the Crankbrothers Mallet is just like those.

Thanks for the information............hope to see you guys on the trail sometime.

hey, isnt that pwrdbytrd's fat wrist?

This morning at Rocky Mountain National Park:

(no trail riding there, but some nice camping, etc)

Same bike, (05 Specialized SX Trail) but I've gotten some new schwag...

Mavic EX729 laced to Hadley hubs (108 engagement points of fury)
Custom Renton spring (blingy but feels great)
MRP System 3 chainguide (what do you mean, color coordination?)
Oury clamp on grips (torqued to spec)
RaceFace seatpost (because the crappy OE Syncros bent for no good reason)
Azonic seat (ugly, but it's what happened to be attached to the seatpost)
Specialized mudflap shock protector (actually works)

Looking nice, gastro.

Nice rig Can't get over that paint job, very nice!

Figured I should post mine.....



It's an '04 Marin Palisades Trail. Haven't done anything to it (yet). Test rode several different bikes and this one just seemed to feel the best to me. So far I haven't done any real off-roading with it, but it's been quite nice to ride on the gravel roads around my place while running my dogs. Now that the weather is getting nicer and the trails are drying out I'm looking forward to getting out more and seeing what this thing (and I) can really do.

-K

After seeing so many beautiful and good bikes...I'm embarrassed but anyway here is mine...

You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Great looking bike you have there, It have everything you need.
