Picture of your Bike...[BICYCLES ONLY PLEASE]

[iMpathetic]

Hey, since the bike people seem to congregate here, I was wondring if I could get some opinions on a good FR bike for a light person. I'm 14, 5'8", lanky, and 115 pounds.

Things I'm looking for:

- less than $1600
- able to jump/do street stuff okay (doesn't have to be amazing, though)

Anyway, I'm coming off an ex-mountaincross race bike based on a 2003 Specialized Enduro Comp.

I don't do MX though.

I got it slightly wrong.
I was going for a FCR2.5 but decided on the FCR3 instead.
It arrived about 30 minutes ago:

That's a nice looking bike. I would love to hear how the ride is on that bike.

Well, got my new IRO Angus in the mail today - now I just gotta wait on the new bullhorns for it and get it assembled

Here's a "before" photo, I'll post more when it's done:

Totally exciting, I know.

It totally is exciting. I think new bikes are awesome! The bike looks like its going to be a beaut when fully assembled. Good luck. You should post after shots.

I'm still waiting on my new bars and whatnot to complete it, but it's done otherwise. Bigger here.

Did some haulin' today:

Dresser wouldn't fit in the car or anything when the Girl moved out of her old place, so we borrowed a trailer and moved it this way. Really a lot of fun, and much easier than you'd imagine.

I finally got around to taking pics of my bikes, and I can't find a usb cable to hook my camera up to my computer, for downloading. Guess I will have to do it in a day or so, when I get some time, and find a cable

Okay! Got my new bars and a new quill today (old one had a 25.4 clamp, needed a 26.0 for these Nitto bars):

More and more.

My new bike. It eats babies.

Ok, here is a picture of my mountain bike.

Here is a picture of the touring bike I bought. I got one short ride out of it before breaking a shift cable. Once I get a new cable, I want to clean it up a bit, put a new seat on it, and start riding it on my lunch breaks.

Good job on the build. Seeing it makes me want to call IRO and buy one for myself. It doesn't hurt to add one more to the stables. I almost got in on a group buy a year back where the frames were discounted off.

I'm actually building up an old Schwinn Varsity as a single speed (or maybe, 5 speed) hauler. I'm hoping to be done with her by the end of the summer. I have to buy other more important things...like a new laptop. hehe.

Got this (or the same model, at least) a few weeks ago (Marin San Rafael):

Very nice bike. I like the understated colors.

I had a Marin mountain bike a number of years ago. I was really impressed with the build quality of it. I may consider another one for my next purchase.

No longer a baby

As a follow up to my original pictures, I took this one yesterday on my road bike, which is no longer as shiny and clean as it used to be.



I had expected the odometer to roll over to zero, but instead it just kept flashing, and there was no way to reset it! I finally had to take the battery out and wipe all memory.

I guess they didn't expect a $20 computer to last that long...
