Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

my favorite bike

 

Haha, it's a Black Sheep. Custom manufacturer here in Fort Collins.

 

Horsetooth Reservoir?

 

Glendo State Park in Wyoming.

 

I was going to guess Why cycles or Seven Cycles. Both look very close to that.

I have only heard greatness about Black Sheep Bikes.

 

I can't remember his name. But, he learned how to build frames from James who owns Black Sheep. He actually worked for James for a number of years and then started Oddity. Oddity Cycles is located in Fort Collins or was (unless he moved recently). He shares a shop with Black Sheep. I see the guy every now and then on the trails. Really cool and unique designs.

 

I can't even count how many mtb I have owned in the past 24 years. Best bike by far. But, then again this is my first custom and Ti.

 

I don't recognize that trailhead, but yeah, Utah biking has been unreal this winter. Eagle Mountain and Bobsled are firing right now!

EDIT: If you didn't strava it, it didn't count Kyler .

 

I'm determined to add a Ti hardtail to my quiver soonish. Not sure if I am ready to evolve to the angry single-speeder final form just yet.

 

I have been riding SS since around '99. You either love them or hate them. I have ridden with a lot of people who have faded in and out of the SS bikes. Not sure how much longer I will be able to ride them. Which is why I had that frame made to be able to convert to gears when I am too old or my knees can't take it any longer.

 

It’s the north Ogden bonnevile shoreline trailhead. I’ve been wanting to go out to eagle mountain. I would have stravad it but my garmin decided it didn't want to work anymore about halfway through the ride.

 

Racing the Ironhorse classic in Durango last year, I witness the fabled "single speeder meltdown" on lap 3. "F this, F that, I hate this goddamn bike, I'm throwing it in the dumpster when we get done..." He parked his bike outside a bar, didn't lock it (prob on purpose), and I never saw him again.

 

Hit me up, I'll be your guide. I ride EM all the time.

You have Ben Lomond though. Hell of a sustained climb, but super fun on the down!

 

Its great stress reliever just feel the pain

 

I made the mistake of trying to pedal my 41lb DH bike uphill one time... 36-28 gearing doesn't work so well in that direction.

 

That sounds horrible haha

 

WOW, they make some beautiful and cool stuff. Even a 36er.

 

After riding my new SS a few times, I started making some changes to it in order to make it more how I wanted it. I got to the point that I felt like I was rebuilding most of the bike. So I ended up luckily finding another used Kona Raijin frame with a fox fork and built that one up. I love it! I took it out for a couple rides this week and now I am climbing super rocky, techy stuff that I could never get up before. The short chainstays of this frame give so much traction when mashing it up that stuff. I set 10 new PR's yesterday on Strava. I was super stoked. Here's some pics of the newly finished bike. Also, now I have a 2nd completely assembled Raijin SS bike for sale if anyone is interested, LMK. That one can be easily converted to a 1x geared bike as well since it has a geared hub with SS spacers and a rear derailleur hanger dropout.

 

How wide are those Ignitors that you you have? How do you like them?
Sweet bike BTW!

 

Sweet bike simple and clean
