So Whats every one riding

[Monkeyboy]

I haven't been on the bike in a while,

Used to work at a Bike shop worked it for about 5 years.

Have a few bikes

GT Xizang Titanium <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">, full XTR SID fork.

GT Rode Bike and a Cannondale road tandem.

[Lance]

I wish bikes weren't so damn expensive. I'd love to have one. But I can only afford one expensive hobby. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

[Thumper]

Haven't rode it in about 4 years (god I'm out of shape).
Giant ATX 780 all XT/XTR I miss road rash <IMG SRC="smilies/massey.gif" border="0">

The only reason I could afford it was I worked in the industry and got all them pro deals.

I haven't worked at the shop for at least 3 years now and the owner is still giving my mom everything at cost.

Mom has two bikes worth about 5 grand each.

Sounds like your mom is working it harder than you are, MonkeyBoy! <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

When I ride, it's usually the road. But... my MTB is a '99 Fisher Procaliber. Got a '96 Bianchi Grizzly RC for sale, too.

I ride a Klein Pinnacle. It is about 8 years old but I am always upgrading the parts on it. Right now it has a mixture of xtr, xt and lx parts, avid arch rival 50 brakes, shimano 747 pedals, chris king hubs, so on and so on. I haven't had a chance to ride at all this year but i love it. My next bike will be a full suspension, but right now all of my money is going into my sas

Ahh, a Klein fan. They are good bikes. I'm partial to hardtails myself. Mine is Rascal, all XT, with the only changes being the Nuke Proof handlebars and an Italia Selle seat. I've run the gamit on tires from the super knobbies that are only good for Washington mud to the Klein tires that came with it.

I still work at the shop once in a while when the owner goes out of town.
I usually work for parts these day.
I worked one weekend and picked up a SID fork
Kore carbon handlebars for the wife.
and a bunch of other little things like Co2 cartriges and a bladder for my camel back.

I need to pick up a rebuild kit for my Speedplay road pedals so I can get back on the road bike.

[Tom Boyd]

I'm on a rockhopper with some minor upgrades. Bars clipless, rims ect. I am not good but it takes away the snowboard jones in summer! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

[Joshua J. Allan]

only thing left from the original bike is the frame. it is/was a Trek 420, and i also ride a Trek 1220 road bike (ya i know it's not a mountain bike)

[MellowYellow]

Rocky Mountain Element Race.
It's my first full suspension. Pretty cool once I got used to it.

[smurfsdad]

ive got an old low mileage rockhopper, drinkin beer is easier than riding so the ice chest gets more use

[YellowSub1962]

<font color="yellow">was riding a bone stock '98 GT Avalanche (since '98) till last week when I convinced my dad to give me a loan for a '01 GT iDrive 1.0 with bomber forks....</font c>

[WildYoats]

I miss my ol GT Avalanche LE...What a killer hardtail...Now, I have a Gary Fisher Sugar 2 on my X-mas list! The 2002's are sweet! But the wife wants one too....money money money...

[Mcstiff]

I used to have a Cannondale jeykel but it got stolen in boulder. I will have a Giant XTC AC air.

[FJ4ZROX]

I'm riding my old Trek 8900. It was upgraded to all XT and a Manitou front fork. Not the best/newest out there, but it gets me down the trail <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

[fc187]

my baybe is an Ellsworth Truth,vanilla rx,white bro sc90, race face cranks,747's, ringle/mavic 517, xtr rapidfire, xtr V brakes, xtr de's, Kore elite post and stem, Ti Flite seat, easton monkey light dh bar,Cris king hs, tioga factory xc's <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
My VISA card has been very good to me <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

[JasonH]

Cannondale F300. Yeah, it's relatively low end but it's better than the 89 Miyata I was riding! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
The wife has a Schwinn Mesa GST and the kids are in the Burley behind me (for the hike and bike trails).

[Sloan]

Cannondale Super V 1000 but all the parts are upgraded. I got the V 1000 because it was the only frame that had a total front fork lockout. Thinking of getting a hardtail cross country bike for CA because mtn. biking out here is like road riding in the dirt. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> Oh yeah I ride a Cannondale Team Saeco on the road. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

[ianbike]

Currently, I've got a bone stock 2000 Rocky Mountain Pipeline. I'm tryin to decide if I need a dh, a freeride, and an xc. That would be the perfect world. My dream bike would be the new Intense VPP dh bike with a shiver, race face parts, shimano xtr, onyx hubs on mammoth dh rims, nokian gazzaloddi 2.6's and hope dh disk brakes.

[poppycock]

i sold my bike... gotta get a new one bad! anywhoo, i'll pretend i still have my last bike <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

it's karpiel disco volante. the rearend was modified so it got 12" travle with a fox tc. it had all the downhill goodies discs, mrp, raceface cranks, gazzolod 26x3.0 tires <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">... the thing was sick! in the picture it has a hanebrink 9" travle fork... it sucked. i replaced it with a 00' marzocchi monster t. best fork i've ever used, hands down. this bike was a pig and weighed in at 54# i ran a 48t ring up front and 8 spd rearend.

before that i had foes lts... it too was sweet just it only had 6" travle.

as soon as i can get the cash i'm getting a karpiel armageddon frame and monster t fork.

wish i had a better picture to do this rig justice!

<IMG width=228 height=294 SRC="http://www.pirate4x4.com/ubb/uploads/karpiel.jpg">

[poppycock]

here the old foes lts. it had a whit bros dc110 fork in the pic... it was later upgraded to a whit bros ud150. sweet little bike but the rear suspension wasn't nearly as good as an active setup like on the karpiel.

if you know foes and karpiel you'll ask if they were run on bushings... my answer is of course i went with full bearings. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

<IMG width=226 height=310 SRC="http://www.pirate4x4.com/ubb/uploads/foes.jpg">

[rogueturtle]

Ibis Mojo (7rs old) and the old school xtr thats a bit stronger than the new xtr junk.

Straightened the frame 3 times now and she still runs like silk. u know what they say-Steel is real.

[bigtime]

Here's my list,

Prototype Scandium mountain frame with a Fox RC shock, Sid Race, prototype disc brakes, blah, blah, blah...

Mikkelsen mountain tandem.

Mikkelsen road tandem.

Custom Waterford W-13 road bike with Record 10 speed.

Waterford track bike with Dura Ace track components.

Gunnar Crosshairs Cyclocross bike with Dura Ace/XTR drivetrain, Tufo tubeless cross tires on Spinergy wheels. For training in the summer.

Somec Custom Cyclocross bike with the same parts as my Gunnar, but about 5lbs lighter for racing in the winter. These are the bikes I ride on a regular basis these days. I have a few more bikes that are older classic stuff that I just want to keep around, and a couple of frames that I am in the process of building for myself. This is yet another addicting, expensive hobby.

[willymutt]

I have a Gary Fischer Hoo Koo E Koo. Nothing high priced, but great for what I do. I have upgraded some of the components, but haven't ridden it much since the jeep is easier to make go.

Erin

[lake_55]

I have a very old and well used trek 850, with a couple sets of tires and rims changed out because i ride it so much. The only thing i still havent uprgaded are the brakes and i need to do that in a bad way.

[Huff]

You guys ride some nice machines. Myself, I ride a mostly stock '99 Trek 8000. Without the Jeep habit and the gun habit I could probly have a lot nicer bike(s) but this one serves me well.

Not sure of the year? I'd guess late 60's early 70's? I got it at the flea market about 8 years ago <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> I think i paid $40 for it.
Yea, a basket would be SICK, but i don't really ride it much. I live in the mountains so there is no place to go.

Hahaa Ok you saw me, the weight limit on a super light is like 150lbs.. I dont think I weigh in at 150..

[Bgcj5]

I ride a 98 K2 4000 ES. It is full susp with 4 inches of travel in the rear and 3 in the front. It is truly an amazing machine. I have all xt components with clipless pedals. Anyone that is consdiering buying a new bike I would highly recomend K2. They are a very customer orientated company. But unfortunitly for the extreme lack of riding I have been doing I am debating selling the bike I shall have to see what happens.
