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! :-)
