Show off your Road Bike!!!

My fair-weather daily commuter for the past 2 years

 

The top bike was a specialized steel road bike from the late 90’s.
The bottom bike was a steel rigid mountain bike from the 90’s.
These bikes were being thrown away, so I picked them up and gave them new life.
This thing is super fun to tinker with!
I don’t know where else to post this haha

 

Put some new wheels and rubber on the roadie today... like I like.

HED Jet 4+ w/ Conti GP5000 700x25 (27 on the calipers) mounted tubeless

 

I’ve seen similar builds many times before. What happens when you have to stop?

 

I picked this up off of craigs. Maybe I can get into riding again. When I was a younger man I rode a bicycle to lose a lot of weight. More recently I have discovered running but cycling could be used to crosstrain.

 

It’s not too difficult to actually come to a complete stop while sitting on this.
The higher center of gravity, the easier it is to balance.
I’ll usually just zig zag in between cars or ride really slow till I can get going again. But you can also swing your leg over and step off if you needed to.

 

Very nice! I actually need to do something very similar with regards to the steering tube to build a bakfiets cargo bike. You should do a build thread! In the name of science of course!

 

Drug all the bikes out of the garage and house yesterday for photo shoot........here's pavement half (offroad half in mtb thread)...........

 

Similar picture if I were to do the same. I’ve taken a few of the bikes apart in the hopes of building them up with better components.

Dang... forgot all about this thread. I sold the Lynskey last year and decided on a new-to-me upgrade that would be a closer match to the riding geometry of my "gravel" bike.

I do love me some titanium...

Good to see guys that ride. Here are my Bikes

25% road 75% gravel grinder

 

Here's a Serotta CSI with Dura Ace 9000-level stuff. Since stripped back to the frame, though...

 

Posted this over in the other road bike thread too (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/cycling-road-bike-thread.183600/page-43#post-28941594)

Lynskey Helix with Sram Force AXS. Hed Ardennes RA performance wheel set. Sweet sweet ride. I have a set of Coefficient RR carbon bars I'll be mounting up as soon as I get a bleed kit delivered (internal routing, have to disconnect the hydraulics). Running a Hammerhead Karoo 2 computer, definitely a fan of that.
