I bought my first mtn bike in '86, by my 2nd I was doing custom builds and all except 2 since then have been some sort of personal machine, not including the tandem.

My XC for 3 years after I sold my last the DH bike

I'm 1x1_Speed_Craig. I ride fixed & SS exclusively, and love my Steelman fixxie/SS 'cross bike & Soulcraft SS MTB almost as much as life itself (not really, but close).

My "15 minutes of fame" was writing the
ssfaqcrx.aspx


I live & ride around Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Some pretty cool bike in this thread. Here are two of mine.

Fuji Track Pro. New for 09 season, we got the whole team on them. Very cool to have the whole team on the same stuff.

This is my Serotta CHT at Chequamegon 2 years ago. I like to say it's "fully non suspended." Still have it but it's being replaced with a carbon Scalpel this year.

I'll post the others soon.

You might be able to see a pattern, steel and 700c. I hve come to realize that these bike can take me anywhere I want to go, maybe not as fast off the pavement, but then I would probably miss the bobcats, pigs, deer and other stuff I am out there to se anyway. For an in depth explanation of underbikeing:

and the rest of their articles are pretty good too if you have not seen them before
