I used to ride a lot. I have an older Cannondale and still do some riding.

[monsterSJ]

[Matt_E]

Are you ********ting money?

Nice!

I got a clunky mountain bike I picked up for free that I ride quite a bit through town for exercise. About 5-10 miles at a time.

I have 2 Mountain Bikes, may sell one of them. It is a Kona Ku (Hand built Alum frame hardtail). Size is a Large, you would need to be close to 6' for it to fit you.

I quit riding Road Bikes when I got hit by a car the ran a red light and lost my left kidney and my spleen.

When I used to ride alot, I used to get harrassed daily by cars. people throw sh!t at you, swerve at you, yell at you, etc. it sux. Like slutty said, alot of people think you should be on the side walk and not the road, but the truth is, the cops can and will ticket you for riding on the sidewalks.

Here's a good one. I got 3 tickets in one summer on A1A by The Oceans for speeding on my road bike. They suspended my license for it. aint that about a bitch?

[Big Kahuna]

ouch.

how you get a ticket for speeding on a bike??

there are several routes that are regularly ridden that are on country roads. even the city/county supports it.

for doing 45mph in a 35.

passing traffic is a dead give away. when I was riding and racing ALOT. I used to run SR415 from Sanford to Daytona (Volusia Ave) and back 3 times a week. it's roughly 48 miles one way and I could do it in about an hour and 10 minutes, give or take depending on winds.

[willycrumb]

How much was that thing?

[Wolf Child]

How much was that thing?
lets all take guesses before he tells us.

I'm gonna guess around 28.

[thong_bandit]

seriously this cop pulled us all in for an inspection 3 weeks in a row..every sat. exact same group of riders..exact same cop...the last straw was when he didnt feel like going around to everyone so he told me to go out and round up all the stand up riders on the lake and tell them to come back to the dock for an inspection....wtf? is that..needless to say when scott was through with him i'm pretty shure he felt like an a$$.

I see. Why did WC call the supervisor? Could not you've drown the POS right there and then? Or you guys are sadists and wanted to see him suffer? :icon16:

It Was listed at that price. But I did not pay that for it!!!!!:sneaky:

18 lbs as it sat in the showroom. removed the reflectors on the bars and seat post so it is prob around 17.999995 lbs now!!!!!!!!


I did the swap parts to make the bike lighter on my first MTB, took it from around 30 lbs to 26 lbs and that cost me probably around $1,000.00 on top of what I paid for the bike (this back in 91). Not planning to do anything to this one except maybe swap seats off my hardtail. (Selle Italia Flight).

[w-nut]

im in the process off building my own road bike frame out off carbon fibre . it should be around 15-16 pounds when its done . frame is all togeather just need to get it painted soon

Dura-ace is up there, but with Full Ultegra with American Classic Wheelset retailed for $2895.00.

I got this one for $1895.00 plus tax.

wow.. it's been about 5 year since I've looked at bikes seriously, I just pulled that number outta my a$$. :dead1:

[spence]

I love to ride road bikes too. And I wear a speedo thing too lol Mine is alot longer than most so I dont looke totally stupid but its more for comfort. My seat has NO cusion and all the pants do. BTW I have a Lemond Versailles. Full carbon/ ultegra components. I never get harassed too bad about being on the road though?

[750SX]

Nice bike. Can someone explain what is so much better about a 4k bike than a $500 bike? I know the frame is carbon, the rims, and the shifting components have to be better. Is it really worth it? You are doing this for exercise, so what if your bike is a little heavy? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I just don't quite understand.

You guys are going to roll when I post up my vintage ride.

Assuming the frame is roughly equal the components/wheelset/little details make all the difference in the world. If you're gonna ride much at all, 105 level components are the lowest group that should ever be considered. Ultegra is VERY nice and Dura Ace is phenomenal. The same is true with mtn bikes. Lx is good, XT is great, and XTR has to be ridden to be believed. Major differences in precision. Top shelf components will stay perfect for thousands of miles where the cheaper stuff may work ok for an occasional rider, but won't hold up to daily use.

what he said. With the better components you do not have to worry nearly as much about them giving you problems..... with Bikes (Road or MTB) it is the definition of you get what you pay for..........

Finally got to ride it today, 10 miles after work, of course I picked a route from the house that was very hilly, not the best for a first ride, or a first ride in a long time!!!!!!!! but good for a 36mph run down one of the hills!!!!!! I got to get use to riding on the road with cars!!!!!!!! use to the woods, you only have to worry about what is in front, not in back of you!

[spence]

Yeah there is a HUGE difference riding a bike with nicer components. They last forever, shift almost instantly and brake better. This is my nicest bike ive had and it was totally worth it. I have added nicer pedals, got shoes, computer, and normal stuff like water bottle holders. I do races and was thinking about getting a disk wheel but I dont think its worth it until I get a really nice bike with dura-ace components tho

[w-nut]

i didnt take any frame assemble pics sorry bk im building it at my cousins busines (http://www.dynamic-composites.co.nz/) and he is a wee bit secritive on the process how he puts the frames togeather .
i work shift work at my main job and on my days off i work for him part time and instead off getting paid i build whatever i like there .
im going to be running full dura ace componets (9 speed)except for the cranks which is
Ultegra . wheels are just middle off the road till i build some carbon wheels for it as well . mine is the 3rd frame like it made , my cousin has one and my uncle and mine . my cousins bike weighs 14 pounds.

BTW, if anyone is into classic vintage legendary racing bikes, I still have the Peugeot PX10 in great condition for sale, never had time to post an ad anywhere.
I will take and post pictures if anyone is interested.

^^^
my dad's got an old puch or something its a road bike from back in the day haha

[Big Kahuna]

went home at lunch and did 6.5 miles, just an out and back.......... it was windy as hell.

[ThinMint]

wind sucks while riding...i had been coming down hill the other day and had headwind all the way home

hillls are so fun on these bikes as well...i did a hill climb the other day and went until i couldnt anymore and just flew right on down it was a blast

[mxkris]

Sry, this thread is a little old, but... Glad to see there are more cyclers out there on the boards! I ride a min of 15 miles mon-fri when i'm nopt hurt and i love it! I have a scott speedster!!

[Sospikey]

Well, I ride both road and mountain bikes. What I would spend some extra $ on are the wheels/tires/tubes. Lighter wheels makes your $500 bike really come alive.
I have a bike with full Ultegra, Ritchey WCS stem/bars/sadle post/wheel set. Carbon front and rear forks. I really like it.
This is me and my bike, in Italy:

[butti]

single speeds are all the rage around here.i see some pretty hot looking bikes.of course all those old 10 speeds in the thrift shops and yard sales are bringing top dollar now

[w-nut]

its taken me a wee bit longer to get done than i liked and 3 paint jobs lata (painter kept stuffing it up ) here is my bike
its a hand built carbon fiber frame that i built at my cousins work with his help and is all durace except for the cranks. the wheels are a deep section carbon rims and not sure who the hubs are from . all up the bike weighs 16.5 pounds which im pretty happy with and it rides pretty dam nice and is only 1 off 3 that has been made

[Big Kahuna]

Nice... I have not been on mine in a while.
