I took my ride for a spin today. 34 degrees! Not bad when you get warmed up!
I just bought some new tread and will have to post of a close up when I get them installed...along with my new rear shock. :ride:

Maybe we should head south for some warmer weather riding. I am itching to go for a ride also. New rear shock, grips and lockons, and a new raceface middle ring, chainring bolts, and a chain. My middle ring had 2 cracks in it and the holes were ovaled. I told the guy at the shop that I never use the small ring and that I prefer to just grind the middle ring. I will most likely do the same to this new ring. The new bikes have a 10 gear cassette and 2 rings up front. I wouldn't mind trying this new gear configuration.
Getting a new addition to the family next week! Can't wait to post pics.
Here's my ride, the day before Thanksgiving.

Broke out on the 1st and attempted a ride. holy crap.:cold:
Wow Wade, that pic made me COLD!!
my spiky tires...and a 'spike'.
Those tires looked like brandnew tiogas. Are those 3/4" hexhead sheet metal screws ? Do you run a smaller tire inside of the studded tires ? How do they work in the loose powdery snow ?
My new baby!

Actually the tires are some I've used for a year and decided I just had to have Maxxis Mobsters. I used 1/2" screws. Drilled through the back side and screwed them in with another gun. Front tire is a 2.3 Tioga - rear is a 2.4 Panaracer FireXC Pro. I taped over the screwheads with duct tape and then used Mr. Tuffy liners and the bigger/thicker tubes. Had to grind the rear screws down a little to keep them from dragging the new frame. $ for a box o screws -$7. Did both tires with one box. BUT, one better be prepared to ride snowpack and ice...loose snow is no problem but deep snow is - it's a bit testy on sidewalk/road.Quote:

That sure does look like Basin at the top of Needles next to the lodge. I can't wait to suffer up that rocky miserable climb in a few months.
Ah, yes it is.
Nice green frame:nod:
...my last ride, my Salsa ElSanto was definitely female - amazon to be precise. My new ride is male. On steroids. With attitude:haha:
Beautiful new bike, Chere'! Congratulations - new bikes are so fun! :-)

Treehugger that is one awesome bike you have there.
Chere' I like your rode bike too.
I conly only stomach the shoreline in early spring, perfect when everything else is snowed in, it is also a great night ride looking at all the city lights. I used to ride indian trail when I was younger and legal to ride, fun ride.
I feel the same way. I get burned out on it. It is great early in the morning in the summer. The sun stays off of you and you can knock out a quick ride before it gets busy.
come on now..the BST is an old friend, worthy of rides all summer long..
Ryan great choice of bike..and the dog, well i own to of the same kind only black..
Yes it is a good old friend, but that late afternoon heat comes and warms it right up and brings all the snakes out. Trail has it perks, put my personal preferance is to stay with my lover Ms. Snowbasin, I have a love affair going on with the back side of the mountain :2thumbs:Quote:

Hey guys the section north of 12th street will dry out in early March. We should all meet and take a run on her and see if she forgives us.:cool2:
Chrome thanks for the comments on my bike and dog.
You know the Island is looking rideable now...
Hey, I didnt even think about the Island.:ride:Quote:

Component spec will be a bit more budget friendly than the one in the pictures though......
That looks pretty sweet man. :cool2:Quote:
