My hybrids, Mild to wild.

The old Trek I think everyone has seen? Upgraded, new shifters and derailleurs, hand built wheels.
91 MT, 21 speed, 700cX28 Vittiorias. Zefal jel saddle, 15" frame with Xlong seat post.
My first love.







Salsa, bought a frame, all the rest is hand picked, 28X11 rear, 24X34X44 front.
Velocity Chukker rims with Shimano hubs, hand built, Same tires as the Trek.
Shimano XT 970 MB group.
One sweet ride. A climber of the first school.







The color matched valve stem caps are good for about six MPH!



The Javelin Aero.

Found the frame in the back room of the LBS, customer left it several
years ago, after a frame change to get a smaller size.

Same wheels as the Salsa, same tires, but will be changing to 700CX25's soon.
Shimano XT 770 group. 34X11 rear, 34X50 front.

The reason I am going to 25's, there is clearance, but not much.



Since this is a time trial frame, there is no mounts for bottles
so I went with a seat mount, and had to lower it to be able
to mount and dismount with out hitting the bottles.



Thanks for looking, and any comments are welcome.

I had posted the Javelin in the road bike section, but they told me I would
go straight to hell if I put flat bars on that bike!

Yep... straight to hell.



When I put drop bars on my Trek 7500 it caused such consternation and now that is a very popular conversion...

The bike shop is seeing a big increase in the number of high end road bikes with flat bars with aeros.

They said over in the roadie section the aero bars gave me a couple weeks grace before the trip down stairs.....

Thanks for the comment..
