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.

are those cut up ourys? and what brakes are you using?

^^ Good eye. Nice and cushy, plus they have nice zip-tie grooves.

Brakes are 4-pot Stroker Aces.

Wow!! nice bike! Is that aluminum or ti? How much did that build cost you? what kind of frame.. very nice! what do you call it? the green hornet comes to mind...

Picked this up last Thursday. Hit the trails and got the first crash out of the way Saturday. Had I not crashed, I would have been taken out by a deer crossing the trail. Dumb luck I guess. I love the bike - much better than my aluminim hardtail.

You like it a lot? I was crossed between the HiFi 29er and the Top Fuel EX8. I liked my 29er HT so much that I stuck with that wheel size for the FS bike too.

yeah I dig it. It's my first FS so I'm not expert. However, it feels great. I was fitted today and it's even better now. He adjusted the suspension so it wasn't so much of a bucking bronco. Now it just rolls over terrain. Pretty cool.

My last purchase (about a year ago)

Pictures from after yesterdays ride, I really need to get some lock-on grips mine are just old and as soon as some moisture get anywhere near them they won't stay put what so ever.

I like that bike a lot.

Here is my 1989 Miyata. The first pic is how I got it. It was free, got it from the original owner who had ridin it maybe 10 miles. It was 100% how it came from the LBS.

New fork, bars,stem, brakes, shifters, grips, pedals, seat, tires, tubes and it was ready to ride. Has been a fun bike. Now the paint is all beat off and its filthy, but doesnt matter. Still a blast to ride.

Nice bike 29er's can make a good hybrid, have you tried a skinny 28c tire for the pavement. I hope it dident rain on the way home your car would have copped it with the mud and all. :)

FWIW: Everyone, I know you are all 'jonesing' to get out and ride this spring, but riding wet or muddy trails causes huge amounts of erosion compared to riding dry trails not to mention the deep ruts usually left behind. As an avid trail maintenance volunteer my friends and I (and the IMBA) would appreciate it if you would let the trails dry out a bit before riding them. There are actually a couple of places I am aware of that the local authorities can ticket you for riding on wet or muddy trails, that's how serious the erosion issue can be. Thanks from the trail builders and a fellow rider. Not meant to sound like a lecture, just spreading the word.
