Better pics

Couple shots of Tegan and I on "the Monster". Our home is almost visible ~40km away in the last shots - we live on the river (looks like a puddle near the coast in pics)

[Applejack]

My name is Kirk, I live in Oregon and I ride a 2010 Titus FTM. I built this bike from the ground up as a replacement for my 2008 Gary Fisher Hifi Plus because I wanted something a little more burly and the components on my Fisher were not as good as I'd hoped they'd be.

Only two...

I ride a Yeti Ti ARC and a Bianchi Roger (I just converted to riser bars - about to get an Alfine 11-Speed hub installed).

My fiancé is 4'10" - she came with a bike that fit her which is one of the reasons I've let her stick around. It's a 15+ year-old Trek 1300. I'm looking to update her to something more modern. She has a 25.5" inseam - anyone have any recommendations?

New horse in the stable. EX8 was not cutting it for the wife, so now she has a Trek Superfly 100.

toe clips!??!!??!??!??!

 

[onebadscrambler]

The closest I could get her to clipless. She does not want to be one with the bike.

Toe clips are making a come back! I have gone full circle and have been on flat pedals for more than a decade. My knees love it. Anything that gets your sweet hart out biking is a good thing.

That's the comment I needed to hear. Something in the back of my mind was telling me not to go clipless. I think me and my wore out patellas will give Ergon a try.

 

[Sirocco]

My name is Griff and Im currently coming back into the fold after 10 years away from the scene. I used to race road/xc/cyclocross as a youth, junior and sport cat, and went through a 1994 Rockhopper, 1995 Stumpjumper, 1998 GT Zasker, 2000 Gary Fisher Mt Tam, Scott Octane, Azonic DS2, DMR trailstar and a Sirus crossbike.

Currently own a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Elite, Cannondale R3000 and Ribble winter/touring bike but this is soon to be replaced by a Salsa Vaya which I ordered on Friday!

Looking to do more touring/commuting and light offroad on the vaya.

I cant believe how far bikes have come on since the mid-90s and how much the prices have risen!
