Ya, you gotta be careful with it, though. I'm still learning the finesse of this one. It's sort of like being in a 10-foot room full of glass cabinets…carrying a 12-foot ladder.

Excellent description! Do you put your beer down when using THIS machine?

Trek 6700

I picked this up on craigslist for $100 in late fall. It's an '02 Trek 6700.



And this is what I did to it over winter.



Before I got this bike I was using a mid-90's Trek 800 on the trails. This was a great first real mountain bike for the month or so I was able to use it before it started snowing. I'm anxious to get it out on the trails to try out the discs and the new stem set up.

Beer and plowing (or dirt bikes) don't mix. Well, it doesn't with downhillling either - - until post-ride

It is. Its limiting factor is the engine right now. I don't see my abilities catching up to the bike any time in the near future.

It is a hell of a lot faster than my previous ride.

Mine is fairly new, even though it is a couple of years old. My boss go a closeout on them, and I snapped one up. I' went through a weight reduction whirlwind lately, and I've dropped three pounds off of it. Little things here and there add up. It's a SERIOUSLY sturdy platform to build on. Next up is a lighter stem and bars, and a more decent fork. It's okay, but no lockout, and the preload is almost non adjustable. I am thinking about a remote lockout Rock Shox. I also have a 94 Team Marin reaching completion soon. Can't wait to hit the trail with it!!,,,,BD

09? P-1. Was still in the box until mid January of this year!! Yes, it gets washed and chain relubed almost everytime I take it offroad. No dirt means longer drivetrain life!

Specialized P-1

Team Marin. A little small for me, but might be JUST big enough

The P-1. First time on the trail at Sam Houston Jones State Park.

My new trail toy, 2011 GF/Trek HiFi Plus

It should be a nice little upgrade for all the root covered trails near me. Since I like doing longer rides, it should help the back end from getting sore as well.

Same old dependable; new bits installed: Crux pedals and wide-wide 31" bars.








Old guys need little reminders . . .
