Lets See Your Trusty Steed

[Philpug]

What bike are you riding now? Mountain? Road? City? Post pics of your bikes and lets hear about them.

Klein Attitude SS that @Tricia

Giant Trance X is my FS, mostly SLX-XT mix. Tricia's Trek Fuel. I will say that I love the Yakima Hold Up rack.

Still trying to sort a good phone carry, may wind up going magnetic.

This is the closest I have to a shot of my ride.
Trek Fuel EX8 WSD.

Those shots must be from Michigan, right? Seems to green and no lake in the background!

Yup

'79 Raleigh Grand Prix, original wheels, original cranks, 3rd Brooks, randonee bars w. interruptor levers, 48x16 (Sugino front), minimal greenery (no lake, sorry):

(confession: I mostly ride it with Arayas on low flange hubs)

One of the road fleet, got the frame off of eBay and built it up from spare parts. Light, fast, and fun! Equipped with an old-guy compact crankset...

Cannondale CAAD5, although the wheels have been changed out since this picture was taken....

My XC hardtail. Santa Cruz Highball Carbon muddled everywhere with the Chris King Special Edition Sour Apple Components.

And,

Niner BSB RDO Cyclocross bike. 19 pounds of quick carbon. This past winter's build, still gotta cut the steerer tube.

I was thrilled when I got this, a bike I'd lusted after since high school... this always gets compliments too! Definitely the pinnacle of American steel bikes, IMO. 7-speed period-correct Ultegra components (yes, Shimano was the team sponsor for all you Cramp-n-go-slow types), downtube shifters, Mavic Open Pro rims. Got the frame from eBay, built everything up myself (except the wheels). It was also painted by Joe Bell in San Diego, I visited him to get a couple of paint chips touched up and he said he definitely remembered painting the team bikes. He also commented that the bike didn't look like it had even been ridden, needless to say I've taken care of that shortcoming...

My pride and joy, I'd wanted a Paramount since high school; this is it!

2015 Trance SX - 160/140 of trail shredding goodnes

2012 Kona Honzo SS aka the Captain America SS. A SS hardtail that mocks most trail and all mountain bike at going down.

Raleigh Roker Comp - fast gravel bike

That's the three colour Ultegra/600?

I was almost as chuffed when I got this, right around when I first started posting on forums. Turns out I really dislike triples..so I only rode it off and on for about 3 summers then started looking at Tarmacs and things.

(currently dressed for sale hence the old-guy-with-bad-back look)

Yes on the Ultegra/600 parts. It's a 52/39, but I don't ride it regularly so I'm not too concerned about it...

BTW : N+1, if you know what I mean...
