Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Nice beater John! Love the color.

Thanks on the comment of the Rocky. I just started riding this bike to work again instead of the GT, man I love the way it feels and operates!

Here is a dirty picture of it Cleave

Thanks R900!! I love the look of the Lefty fork. I've never ridden Full-suspension before ... I had a Trek 7000 hardtail since 1993 until I picked up this baby. Should be fun.

Cool, I had a buddy with a 7000 in college, about the same era. Nice bike. But that new Cannondale just looks mean!

The Bianchi - very cool!

Here's my MTB rig. I also have a Spec. M4 hardtail and tomorrow am picking up a Santa Cruz Superlight. Although I consider myself a roadie, I have more MTBikes and seem to ride trail more often. I maybe traveling over to the dark side!!!

Hi jfblodi and BCIpam,

Thanks for the comments. I really enjoy riding that bike when I get the chance.

And ViperZ, I was beginning to wonder if you had some magic dirt repellent that you sprayed on all of your bikes.

My 1991 Bridgestone MB-6. Picked it up in mint condition for $62. Primary use is to ride around with my kids with a bike trailer in tow.

Yes, it's called water However I suppose that is more dirt remover


Went for a trail ride yesterday, what a blast! I love MTB'ing on tight technical single track!
