That is a sweet ride!
Here's my latest rig. No, I haven't gone soft...just added to the corral as it were.
Surly Ogre 29r. Set up for road riding. I have a front rack for it and panniers but for this particular ride I removed them for a little more speed. Fun to ride!Attachment 58950
Here's the new single speed. Inaugural ride! What a blast.Attachment 59688

Then what was my main bike for awhile but I am getting ready to sell this one now. A 2011 Trek Madone 5.9:

Sorry, got pulled away for a while. With my Ogre outfitted with front and rear panniers I planned on starting more touring next year with my wife- she actually was the one who brought it up. Even with all that weight it's a smooth ride.

Man, I haven't seen you on here forever. Nice wheels. Does that ride your local trails pretty well?Quote:

I've been out of commission far too long on here(trying to fix that). Yes, this beast rides our trails very well and even feels like it has suspension but nothing can compete with 6" of travel.
Sold my Large Demo last month (always felt just a touch small) and bought this XL Trek Session 88 that I LOOOOOOOVE!

I own a few custom build bikes. I usually find them for cheap in the classifieds or a pawnshop, strip them down to nothing, then start from there, and build them for my riding style.
This is a 2008 Trance XO that I use, mainly on summit bids or the summits themselves.

At point 10,421, looking south at Superior and Monte Cristo, via Mineral Fork, and the Cardiac Ridge.

This bike is a custom built Specialized Rockhopper, originally destined for a dumpster. A $70 dollar local pawn shop beaten to hell frame set.

Stripped the frame down, powder coated and built up, it makes an excellent climbing bike. Brother in law Ryan at the left, me, right. On Tri-County Peak, or Guardsman Peak after a fun climb from Park City.

This is the same bike at the top of Little Mountain, after a brisk but fun climb. Interstate 80 seen in the distance.

This bike is another custom built hard tail, frame set originally found from a pawnshop. Interestingly it is one of the best and lightest climbing bikes I have so far. A Specialized Hardrock Sport. Pretty much the only original component on the bike is the frame itself. This shot is of me and the bike at the top of View Benchmark, highpoint of the Traverse Range above Suncrest. Route I use starts at the Orson Smith TH in Draper.

This next bike is old skuhl... a 1994 Trek 820 chromoly with loads of miles on it. I bought this bike new in Seattle, 1994. I got bored a couple winters back and decided to restore it, adding a bit of bling. It is now more or less permanently mounted to a Fluid 2 trainer for use during these cold and dark winter months, in the depths of the basement...
This is that bike overlooking Buckhorn Wash in the Swell back in 1996...

After the rest... the frame was chromed, disc brakes installed, an 8 speed drivetrain installed and mounted to the trainer. This shot shows the dungeon room in the basement with the trainer, basic video/stereo system installed with my oldest daughter and other kids...

I like to build bikes.
Nice bikes. I liked hearing about the background history of them. I tend to build and then break my bikes.
