i have a bicycle freak friend who has like 10 titanium hand made bikes etc, worth more than his car and what not, so he's hooked me up with his "hand me down" built up assemblies for cheap that are still wicked compared to what one might see in a store. i got a early 90's steel serotta non-supension mountain bike thats now considered a classic "out of print raer" for a bike, and a Surly cross training (hybrid?) bike with cool "moustache" handlebars and a sweet brooks saddle. Last used on a tremendous bike camping trip on Mt. Hood last fall. unfortunately i only ride a few times a year these days so these toys are sorta going to waste!

Tell me about it!
I'm always resolving to ride more, but it doesn't seem to happen.
I got plenty of riding done in my courier days, though - I would put it in a good 45 hours a week on the bike, I can only imagine how many miles I was clocking ...

Basso track with a drilled fork for street riding, BMX platform pedals, downhill bars (chopped), vintage schwinn grips, blue mavics w/campy hubs,and a beefy 16/54 ratio (freewheel on a flip/flop hub) - I love this bike.
Front brake only? Going downhill must be a thrill ride.
199? Bontrager Privateer - Steel frame. Has proved to be indestructable. New bits are paint, seat, Bomber shocks and rims. I keep it dirty like Xtina as I have a nice offroad ride to work.
This was the maddest thing I've ridden:
5-man recumbent with motorbike wheels and discs. Pimped it from London > Brighton. Massively hard to ride uphill, despite 74 gears driving a common axle. Can hit 60+ mph downhill with no drama though!

Nah, actually I was probably stuck at the office while those guys were out goofing off at the ToC. Skippy comes by every now and then, and Ming is sitting about 15ft away from me right now. Sounds like you're covered, but like I said, if you need anything just let me know.

Didn't anyone notice Cheebahaze's post?
Nah, not really - years of BMX riding had me well-trained,
and I've never had an issue in years of riding this set-up.
Need to keep that brake well-tuned, though
K is hiding in Australia?
