Brisa B20. Next project.

i can feel it snapping

 

[Indy]

Ben, that Echo is amazing. Love it.
You have some nicely built bikes.
since not all are trials I’ll get into the other bikes too

 

[Indy]

Canyon Spectral

 

[BenR]

Thanks Indy. The road bike is my favorite, though I need to rebuild the front wheel because a local bike shop here in my town fucked it up.

 

[Indy]

2004 Cannondale Prophet
150 mm 26 inch trail killer
Smattering of xtr mixed with bb7’s
2.4 Contis
What is good in life?
It crushes trails
Drives them before you and listens to the lamentations of the women

 

[Indy]

Motobecane HalE with Steps 8000
FULL XT build even the pedals! 203 iceTech rotors with XT calipers. Did you know they even make XT flat pedals? In two sizes even.
Eddy Current tires. Recent 27/27 mullet setup
150/150mm dirt crusher with horsepower
Can and will climb anything
Can and will descend anything
Monster Truck bike. Prefer it over the Canyon.

Electric motobecane?!? i missed that one. Looks pretty tight.

 

[Indy]

It’s a gnarly bike. I have a Canyon Ebike too. This is the better riding bike, better spec, and about 2k less expensive. Highly recommend. I used to laugh at Ebikes until I rode one. Same amount of effort on the ride, I just get to go three to four times the distance. There is quite a bit of elevation change here, it comes in handy.
We rock 4x4 trails on them (or any trail for that matter) passing side by sides and trucks like they are standing still. They hate it.

Sup geezers

bikes are fun.

 

[Indy]

Bikes are fun
Two slick rides
No trials at the moment?

 

[AgrAde]

Thanks. It's taken a while to get the builds sorted the way I want. Practically perfect now, they both ride exactly how I want except for the saddle on the Commencal and the front tire on the Status. Gonna try an Assegai tire, not sure what saddle to try next.

And nah no trials bike. I gave my bike to my mate. Too hard on my body, had heaps of weird injuries the last 4 years that i've got from just doing normal stuff, all tendon and ligament stuff that's taken ages to heal. So I'm avoiding the weird sports. He's enjoying hopping around like an asshole though so I'm glad it's being used.

Currently trolling OTN because I hurt my knee in Feb and I'm off work, really starting to get to the bottom of the barrel in terms of entertainment

 

[Indy]

Welcome to the bottom of the barrel
Seems like everyone on here is wounded

 

[De_Nada]

I feel like everything I do causes varying degrees of damage now.

 

[Indy]

The missus bike
She bought this before I met her. For real mountain bike mama

Trek lush 26
Fox shox all around
Full SLX build

Rides amazing wheelies
Still a good all around bike
She’s run Winter Park, Anglefire, and Steamboat on
this rig

 

[AgrAde]

Maybe I should display my Tonk levels of hatred for the occasional modern "standard"

I cut up my XTR cranks on my Commencal and made an adapter so that they'd fit old 104bcd chainrings.

fucking a Agrade thats how u make that bitch work for YOU. Technology used to work for us, now it made us its bitch - kids fiending dopamine likes ... entire worlds going retard with it.


Still a fav in the stable, 1974 motobecane super mirage. I have ridden thousands of miles on this ride, had a life ending injury on it, rode over 50 miles to the beach fueled by rose and unmentionables.. still in the basement, my fastest ride.

no longer with me- sold it to keep in La.. anyone guess the frame ?? never road anything like it, before or after... probably a bad idea selling it but i got rid of over 10 bikes... and still have many

I wish this frame was the frame a year before- this has integratshit headset that never was tight properly... and the years before had square tubes and better graphics. fun bike for sure

 

[De_Nada]

I love this thread. Sold this bike recently. Surly Cross Check. Had a carbon riser chopped down a bit to fit through traffic. Low rider rack and mini panniers for tons of S24O. Later I added a sweet handlebar basket. Camped in every state park within 100 miles of Seattle, getting to/from on this bike. I'm moving cross country via sedan in a few weeks and have to get rid of a lot of things. When I leave everything I own will fit in a Prius. There will be 3 bikes on a trunk rack and one more waiting for me in my new home.

Riding 65 miles of killer hilly gravel in The Dalles, Oregon. 2015 ish?

Turns out Oregon has cows.

Riding until I'm spent makes me happy happy happy

Does anyone recognize the blue shirt? FTC people might.

 

[Indy]

Andy, is that a Cresent?
Dalles area is beautiful, that would been amazing

 

[De_Nada]

Dalles is legit. Officially unofficial ride used to happen every year (probably still does). For those willing to do a bit of trespassing the route includes this epic descent:

 

[Indy]

That looks like an inspirational poster
Where you moving?
