Dolosse are molded reinforced concrete thingies designed for breakwaters in a way that they tightly interlock and effectively keep water at bay.

Another year together.
This is the bike I've had in possession the longest, since 1994. Thanks for the sweet ride.

When you're sitting at the stoplight and notice a paint scheme like this chained up at the pawn shop, you put on your turn signal.
This one ticks all the boxes, Backfire paint scheme, Mission Control2 cockpit, XT drivetrain. Chehalis-made in January of 96. Only thing it needs is a headset adjustment and some better tires. Too bad it's too small for me.

I gave it to a buddy in need (veteran on low budget).
I do still have a newer model of the Attitude with a more boring silver/grey paint and upgraded components including a Answer Manitou fork.

1985 Trek 850
Still riding my Trek 850 purchased in '85 from MDR Bikes in Southern California. Used for fire roading, then commuting, now back to fire roads and casual city riding.

Love the black stem on this one! Is this a 21" frame?

Vintage Mtn Bike
I bought my Univega Rover Sport, new in 1984. It felt like an expense purchase at the time, at $225.00. I still own it. It is slightly too small for me, but they did not offer XLG at the time, so the dealer gave me a longer seat post! LOL!. Everyone was always coming over to look at it, when I got it.

Saved this frame and fork from destruction. I cobbled on some parts from my stash to see how it rides. Very laidback like me. I will install more appropriate components as they find their way into my possesion.

New Shoes for the Miyata Ridgerunner
Swapped out the Maxxis DTH 2.3 for these Simworks Homage knobbies.
I think the bike looks much better with the skinny tires vs the fat DTHs.
Also swapped out the Mountech FD and RD for Deore XT.
Time to rebuild the rear mountech. The mountech pulley gets easily gummed up by dust/dirt. When clean it works well, but it never stays clean.
Bike should be good to go for spring.

WV is not flat..
So this found it's way into my hands today. This 1995 ProFlex 855 has a little bit of a race history. I was doing some research on Matt Quinn and found an interesting article on this man Wally Ghia. A little ways down in the article it tells about him creating a mountain bike race team named Team Rhino in Arizona. Everything fits with the stickers on the bike. It does need a full resto including the elastomers (that are available), but has some nice upgraded pieces including Ultimate Machine Co cranks, cassette and rear hub. Should be a fun project.
