 I am just getting into this, I think it will hugely improve my riding, and keep me healthy too. Are there a lot of you out there that ride bicycles too? I know Terry in Lake Elsinore (awesome host of the last SCAB ride out here) does. Seeing his tricked out carbon fiber bike is what got me thinking about this. Thanks a lot bro- I cant afford this!  A bunch of the racers at Laguna Seca last year were riding the track on road bikes. | ||

 I love riding mountain bikes. I got started a long time ago on cross country bikes like yours but I now I mainly just mess around with downhill bikes. Sweet bike. Be safe on it. Wear a helmet. | ||

Thanks! The first things I bought were a helmet and a Camel-back. I love those downhill bikes, I need to win the lottery!!! | ||

I think of Campagnolo much the same way as I think of Buell, the best products produced by people with a passion for creating the best. I am looking forward to the annual Lake Okeechobee Lark (120 miles) bicycle ride later this year, going to try to beat my 6 hour time................... | ||

Funny this topic should come up. I've been looking at reviving my riding interests also (perhaps subconsciously inspired after seeing Terry's CF bike). Anyway, I currently have a road bike and a mountain bike, but I’m looking for a new ride. I find my interests in the type of riding I want to do seem to mirror my Motorcycle riding style choices. I find the road bike just isn’t comfortable for me any more, and while the mountain bike fits like a glove, it just doesn't have the top end speed I want. So I've started looking at hybrids - specifically mountain bike geometry with road bike gearing (and wheels) I’m currently still shopping around, but so far on my short list is; Cannondale Road warrior 1000 Specialized Sirrus Pro And, if money was no object… Bianchi Camaleonte 3 One of the rides I plan on doing this year in September is the Rosarito-Ensenada 50mile bike ride. I’ve done this event several times in the past, and it really is a lot of fun. Seems in the past few years, work has become all too consuming and I’ve lost sight of some of the things that are important to me – cycling being one. Hopefully with the weather clearing up, and a new bicycle that fits my current riding style, I can pick up where I left off - at the same time get my weight back down to where it should be. Enjoy your new ride Shawn Cheers -Jack | ||

Rhino, I used to put slics and a single speed chain conversion on my Rocky Mountain MTB and pedal my a-- up sandia peak outside of Alb, NM every so often. you could even buy a nice set of wheels, and two big chain rings if you got enough frame clearance. Check out Independant fab http://www.ifbikes.com/frames2/steelplanetcross.shtml cool stuff but pricey... | ||

I've been road racing for a long time in NC,SC,VA,TN, and GA. I currently ride about 7-9000 miles a year. I've raced four times this Spring. Love the hard groups rides a couple of times a week. I'm also a USA Cycling Official and have done quite of bit of moto-refereeing. It will keep ya fit it you have the time as it takes substantially more time than running. My favorite races these days are criteriums, about and hour on a fast, technical course. Love being in a 70 guy pack inches apart at race pace. (Message edited by rubberdown on March 29, 2006) |
