wowza!

38 ring in the front, 36t largest cog. It's a mega ultra bail out gear. With the rack, the bike weighs like 27 lbs, and I go to school on a hill, and live at the top of a 19% grade, so that cog sees some occasional use.

Live in East San Jose, go to school/work in Los Altos/Palo Alto.

older picture of my touring bike. about to go live with my parents for a while so I'll be able to ride this thing again and go on camping trips.

Slightly blurry still, but I desaturated the chain to see what a silver chain would look like

We're twinsies now when it comes to stem and seatpost. Just installed the post today, tomorrow will be the inaugural ride.

What color chain do you have on it now? I'd totally go gold over silver.

Been awhile.

How are those Thomson bars? I assume they are the KFC cross model. Not heard tons of reviews, but they look super nice.

yeah, 44cm kfc. they are nice, expensive and light, but more importantly they match my seatpost and stem.
i am never in the drops on my cross bike so i thought about going with a shallow drop bar, but that would look dumb because of how big my bike is. these are a nice middle ground.

I dig the camo bottle cages.

I'm all about that matchy-matchy.

The fork matches the rear triangle and the straight blades give it a nice aggressive look.

Well done.

Do you just take foothill expressway from LA to PA? I used to live right next to Stanford and I miss riding around on them roads.. Foothill College?

Yee. Ride like 8.3 miles to Dirdon station and take caltrain to PA. Get off work and ride to Foothill, ride to Mountain View caltrain station after school and then bike home from Dirdon.

I love climbing in the hills out there because there's so much variety and most of it is shaded and super pretty, unlike San Jose.

Sweet! Highly recommend doing the Alpine Rd loop but opting to bike out to Canada Rd and back.. Not a crazy hard ride, but purty roads especially when going through Woodside :thumb:

Definitely. Alpine => Portola Valley => Arastradero => Page Mill => Foothill is our normal lunch ride.

Still trying to PR on Old La Honda, but its proving a little harder than I expected.

It doesn't have a place to sit at the moment... or steering, but it's geared!

One month ago today, this bike had its fortieth birthday:

We have the same seatpost, but I have a pro vibe stem on there for MAXIMUM STIFFNESS. The 10deg angle also works a lot better than the -7 or -17 for me, so that's the main reason I switched.

I have gold on now, but I haven't been digging it for the last couple months.
