What do you ride?

**Greg** · Mar 17, 2006, 8:26 AM

Okay - so here's a thread to get things started. What are you pedaling?

I have an old Trek 930 circa 1995 and a 2005 Jamis Cross Country 1.0. Haven't even ridden the Jamis yet. My wife bought it for my birthday last year. Will have to try and get out on it this summer...

This is from the "Great road biking weather" thread in Misc.:

My three bikes have been put together by me.

Mountain bike:
2001-ish GT Marathon I-drive frame (only sold in Europe?)
XTR derailleurs
XT Shifters/levers
Avid mech. disc breaks
Mavic X221 disc rims/XT hubs/DT double butted spokes built by me
Race Face Exodus crank
Shimano M797 pedals
Marzocchi Marathon S Air/Coil fork
Fox Float RL air rear shock

Road bike:
2003 Lemond Victoire Ti frame
Spinergy Rev X Superstiff wheels
Ritchey road pedals
Full 2003 9 spd Dura Ace
Double crank, 12-27 cassette

and I still have my old GT mtn bike which was a solid ride, the Rebound
Stock wheels, sold my Mavics
Acera X shifters, crank, front der., brakes
XT rear der.
Marzocchi Z4 Fly-light air sprung fork

And of course, as on all my mountain bikes, WTB Velociraptor tires, the best as far as I've found.

Here's a shot of me on my GT:

I love that bike. I've had to do a little problem solving with that big i-drive bearing, but since I've worked the bugs out (no thanks to GT engineers) it has treated me very well.

Mountain: Raleigh M80 hardtail (I'm shopping for either an Iron Horse MKIII Comp or Giant Trance 2)
Road: Giant TCR2

Steel Framed Garry Fisher Hookoo e' koo I bought used. I think it is about 7 years old, but I am not sure. Anyway I upgraded it with a Rock Shocks Pilot XC fork, it used to have an Indy XC (I think that’s what it was, I gave it to a friend) a new saddle, and replaced the rear cassette, 2 of the front gears, and the chain. The old one had been on there to long, and stretched everything out. This is a great ride, bought it for about 200 bucks, and put 300 into it, and for 500 bucks it is better than allot of 1000-dollar hard tails. It is a bit sketchy during steep turns, but it has a great feel to it, and is pretty nice.
