Do you guys and gals hang your bikes on the wall when not using them, and if so which mount do you use. Working out minor details at the new house.

I know that there's a million custom builders out there that can all do outstanding work, but you do have a guy locally who's starting to get pretty well regarded:

Nothing worse than getting out of the swim and starting your ride with soggy bike shorts.

You must be too serious of a serious cyclist to leave yourself just short of the top spot. Kudos!

Depending upon space considerations, I'd either keep the same thing or go with one of those plate and hook deals for hanging from the front wheel. Those would probably be more practical for multiple bikes or if you just have a tall/narrow dead space on the wall.

Such a gracious winner. Of course, the day is young and no better way to wind down the week than a short spin...

I was looking at the rack mount where the two bikes are stacked one on top of the other. Wife doesn’t see the need for more than one bike....

But if you have plenty of room, I would not bother.

I almost killed myself this morning, mostly to finally get one of those dumb trophies.
I get home, pull out my phone, and it's already in the upload screen. wut
It had stopped recording the ride about 10 miles earlier.

I would consider that if I didn’t have other options. It will be a while before I am ready to buy one anyways.
Ebay usually has a complete TI breakaway for 1500 to 2000, I suspect I will end up with one of those.

That’s what happened to me last week. It saw you were about to succeed. We can’t have that.
