my Specialized Comp Camber sz L.





Would trade for a size small/medium though.

Man... that thing looks like it'd be great on the downhill and climbs... long wheelbase.

Sweet!

Got this up and running. It. Is. So. Much. Fun.

Got my 2nd ride under the belt. Transition TransAM 29 steel frame hardtail with a 130mm RS Revelation dual air fork.

^^ Cool bike. Do you have a boot on a dropper seat post? I'm curious because I have an older Gravity Dropper laying around and I'd probably put it on my wife's bike with a boot like that, but she refuses to ride with the ugly rubber boot and I refuse to ruin a perfectly good seatpost by running it without a boot.

Yep, I made one based on an old nylon shock protector my brother bought me back in the day. It has a folded / sewn seam section at the top and bottom where zip ties are used to secure the ends.

I never used it on my rear shock, but one day, I noticed that it fits my seatpost perfectly. So I made more for my other bikes.

Now that I'm thinking about it, you can probably use a section of an old inner tube. Just zip tie the ends and you'd be good to go.

Picked this up on Friday. Was time for something new. Old one just didnt do it anymore. Went by the LBS to see what they had. Giant Talon 27.5, rode well, Not a hardcore ride, but should do me fine. Will change a few things.

Finally finihsed a long-needed update to my '93 Cannondale Super V 1000. New 75mm front fork (the Gen 1 headshok was blown out and collapsed), new wheels, 8-speed cassette (originally was 7), disk brake conversion, new chain and cables. Really wanted to re-paint it, too. But, got lazy.

'93's aren't possible to make a Uber-V from due to the limited rear travel (75mm). But, it should make a good rails-to-trails bike. I've had this bike since '97. No sense in parting with it now...

Picked up a Surly Karate Monkey.

This bike is just so much fun on any trail or surface.

I just picked up a karate monkey ops for bikepacking, but have been playing with it on the trails. I think I like more than my full suspension, it's just so much fun to ride.

Agreed, I just wen t out riding with a friend yesterday. He rode my Santa Cruz Blur and I rode the Monkey and on loop 2 swe swapped bikes and man is the monkey just fun on signle track.

Noice. What are you using for a front derailleur? I can't find any with a 30mm clamp, or else shims to go in a 31.8mm clamp. I'm hoping to avoid using beercan shims, but I'll do what I have to.

i got mine with the derailleurs, but they are both Shimano SLX 10 speed.

put the 120 bluto on. this is Rosy Boa trail in Leavenworth after work ride one day.

Once upon a time:





Nowdays:

My first MTB ... 2015 Jamis Trail X Sport, RST Gila front suspension with lockout, Altus derailleur and 27.5 wheels.
I couldn’t help myself, fell in love with the bike when I was just browsing the bike store.
Mostly a roadie guy, but after riding on local trails I'm loving it.

Think I'm finally done with this...other than the bikepacking gear I need to buy for it. This bike is so fun to ride, I'm seriously considering selling my full suspension.





2016 Karate Monkey Ops, everything is stock unless otherwise listed below:
Hope Pro4 hubs, Stans Arch Ex rims, Maxxis Ardent gumwalls

Sexy bike. How do you like your Airborne? I am picking up a Goblin as soon as they come in stock(supposedly sometime this month).

I love both my Goblin and Griffin, and the third Airborne frame is being built as we speak (which is scheduled for release later this summer but I know nothing about that... )
The Griffin is just flat-out crazy fun, and eats the sandy trails up here in the desert like it was purposely built for it. Since there is so much contact patch with the bigger 3" tires, I am actually much, much faster downhill on this bike, but only a slight bit slower than the Goblin on the climbs. I can hit 36mph on the Seven Sisters downhill section, whereas on the Goblin I am lucky to hit 30mph. Since that pic, I have shortened the stem, and cut the steer tube, so it just gets faster and funner!!

Here is a recent pic of my daily ride. Just added the Pike, XT brakes, Renthal Bars and Stem.

Picked up an older Klein Pulse. In great condition, all original - I put new brake pads, brake cables, and new SPDs on, and gave it a good clean, and it's as good as new.
