Incase there is anyone on the planet that doesn't know what a Kona Stinky Deluxe and Kona Dawg Primo are.
And the old Miyata (hanging on the wall in previous post) is great for a shuttle bike; drop the boats at the river put-in, drive Astro van to the take-out and leave it there with cooler of take-out brew, ride Miyata back to put-in and throw it into bushes to be picked up later, jump in boat and paddle white water down to Astro van and the cooler of take-out brew, and try not to forget to drive back up to pick up the Miyata.

Been riding one bike or another for 25 years. Started with freestyling in the 80's I had a Redline, Haro, GT, and General RL Osborne Pro. Gots lots of scars to show for that time period. Used to love street riding mostly, but 1/2 pipe was always fun.
Got into Mountain and road. Had Schwinn and Cannondale. Joined the Navy and forgot about bikes for a while.
Got Another GT mountain bike while in the Navy. Used to ride it all over when we pulled into port.
Sold that one about 7 years ago and bought a Cannondale mountain bike. Sold that one about 2 years ago and bought a GT mountain bike 2 weeks ago.
So my new ride is a 2007 GT Avalanche 3.0 disc.

Thought I might make my first post here after lurking for quite a bit.
I just bought a Peugeot "Crazy Horse" today for $25, and I am now in the process of finding out a bit more about it. What I've found out so far is that it's pretty much the same model as the "City Express", and I am now in the process of finding out if it's the French or Canadian model.
I've been meaning to get back to cycling for quite a while, and I was originally planning on buying something in the $500-$1000 range but after browsing vwvagabond.com I remembered that it's not about the bike, it's about getting out there and riding.
And so now here I am, lol.
It needs to be cleaned up a bit, but other than that it rides just fine. Plus, it already has a rear rack on it :jumping:
It looks almost exactly like this:
but the rack's a bit rusty-ish, I just broke off the front reflector a minute ago :xxrotflma, and the decal says crazy horse instead of city express.
I'll post a pic of mine as soon as I get some batteries for my camera.
And back to lurking...

This is my Gary Fisher Mamba. I've had it nearly 6 or 7 years and I still love it. It is kind of heavy and doesn't have disc breaks, but it still does what it is suppose to do. This is going to get a lot more miles on it his summer since gas is so pricey. I need to get some decent panniers though.

Don't have any pictures of the past rides...but there have been a few...currently (after breaking my mtn bike two summers ago) I only have one ride:
Kona Jake, set up with Panaracer touring tires, fenders, etc...for commuting. As soon as the rain:sunny ration slides a little more towards the sunny side I'll take off the fenders, rack, and lights and run my clamp-on rack for commuting so I can run it bare the rest of the time...

Meh, not too bad really...but then it's the only place I've ever commuted, so I really don't know.
Now, if the drivers would kindly remove their skulls from their arses, we'd get along just peachy...

I've got an '01 Schwinn Moab Disc for the hardpack and paved trails - Buying the parts now to upgrade the drivetrain components from Shimano "cheapstuff" to SRAM X.9, and also recently installed the Specialized Armadillo tires. Nice.
I also have a bone stock '03 Cannondale Jekyll 800 for technical and bombing DH trails.

Riverfever,
That Orbea is hideous. What a pile of junk. I can't believe you admit to owning that clunker.
It will be okay. I'm here to help. Just box that thing up and send it to me and we'll pretend you never owned it.:bike_rider:
Just foolin'. I don't lust after many bikes, but that is one of them.

I know...I know. I actually wanted the black Lanza but then I made a last minute decision to go with the Alma and I really like it.
