Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

I just ordered a 2011 Trek Gary Fisher Collection Wahoo. I have a older GT RTS1 I might fix up.

 

I'm still riding a GT XCR-5000 I bought new back in '99.
This is the first generation i-drive, and I think it was the bottom of the barrel as far as components go... but I've swapped just about everything out. I'm too cheap to buy something new, & too slow to need something better.

 

I like this, it describes me at this point with all my 1992, 1994, 1995, 2001, 2003 bikes. As long as you don't crash them then all they need are some new components every once in awhile. When you have 10 bikes, they don't wear out as fast.


Meanwhile, the photo shoot of the quiver, herd, gaggle...yeah, gaggle of bikes is way overdue so I'll get right on that...........

 

Gorgeous day in Houston today...going riding right after work.

 

added some vinyl touches to the rims

 

Looks nice Sock! but your really gonna feel the weight of those stickers on long climbs, lol.

 

I'll post pics of my bikes tomorrow when its light and I can get some good pics. This is probably my most fun bike though - a Fetish Cycles Fixation single speed bike build to the T. These pics arent mine but the same thing (except mine is built better )

 

Figured some may be interested in the

$250 Thule 501 Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Bike Rack, Black, One Size

Thule 501 InstaGator so here are a few pics. I'll be using 2 of these racks when it's just myself and another rider and a Dakine pad for more than 2 riders.

 

Got this back in March. Simple Trek hardtail, works for what I do with it now. I've been trying to figure out how to transport it, have a fork mount in the bed just aft of the toolbox, but this requires the tailgate to be down. Also tried a Yakima hitch mount that works pretty good for running around town when I don't feel like taking the front wheel off.

Hayes Nine hydraulic disk brakes and Rock Shox Sid molybdenum fork








Leader frame and carbon race fork fixed gear






Custom built both of these from the ground up.

 

I just picked up my first bike in over 15 years. Not a true mountain bike, but I didn't see a "show me your hybrid bike" thread. Anyways it's a Cannondale cx quick 3. I wanted something I could do some light trails with and still be decent on pavement. Last bike I had was a Huffy mountain bike that I rode all over the place before I could drive. If I get more into mountain biking I think I'd like to build my own. This is just a starting point to see if I still like riding as much as I used to.

 

99 GF Marlin. Nothing hardcore, just like riding my bike around! The only parts that are stock are the brakes, headset, and frame unlike my truck.

 

Here's my old steed. Never should have sold it- lost way too much money...
Currently in the market for a new (used) DH bike.

 

I just saw this, but you will love the wahoo, i have one and love it so far, i just need to get out and ride more which after soccer i will do!

 

I sat on the Advance and but I like the brakes of the wahoo better I can't wait I keep waiting for the phone to ring to say they got it in and it's ready for pick up. I'm going to use this to start getting into shape and then maybe later do some trails. I wish I could afford some of the bikes that I've seen in this thread but there's no way I'm gonna swing that kind of money towards a bike that I have to petal.

I've been also thinking about starting to fix up my GT RTS-1 It needs a new fork, chain and derailer.

 

The New Whip First time on a bike in over a decade!!


2011 Trek Marlin (Gary Fisher collection)

 

Sweet bike!

 

Thanks she rides much better than anything i have had before.

 

haha i wish i could afford a full supension bike too, but i dont ride enough to invest in that right now. The wahoo is definitely great though

That would be pretty cool to fix up your gt

 

I built an old Diamondback Vertex into a Dingle. Basically a 2 speed bike.

Dingle = 2 speed front deraileur and a single cog in the back

What the bike looked like when I picked it up



The single speed rear setup




The almost finished product. I polished the frame as well.
