Im thinkin hydro... Im liking the Avid Juicys, or maybe the Maguras....

Thanks man!!!

I have Magura Martas on the DirtWorks and I love them. They're easy to set up and work great. BTW, the Motobecane turned out great Jake.

Another shot with my wife and her bike, Chinelli super corsa.

The Cinelli is a real classic. :thumbup:

Thanks brother, I am pleased with the way it turned out. Has a nice look to it. Rides fast and quiet, a joy to pedal.

Ive always liked the Martas....I am gonna look into them. :thumbup:

Here are a couple shots of my son and I over the past few years. The first is a state park that is 4 miles from my house and a 17 mile loop of varied riding with some major climbs, rocks, roots, switchbacks, etc. The second is a 15 mile rolling hill loop around a lake. Beautiful trail.. My red bike is a Titus LocoMoto and the silver is a Titus Racer-X. My son's is a Specialized HardRock.

I don't have a lot of pictures riding my bike, because I'm taking the pictures.

The closest I have to a picture of riding my current bike ('05 Specialized Enduro) is one I took yesterday whilst out riding and geocaching:

Here's one I like, riding my '97 Schwinn Homegrown FS with a buddy at Frenchman Coulee, WA:

Trying to see how much stress my frame can take (maybe this is why it cracked and I had to get a new bike...):

This is a fun thread. Don't get my Giant out much right now due to time constraints. This is like a fix for me.

 

[j williams]

Nice pics Mountainman! Those homegrowns are cool bikes.

Im also a fan of Specialized. They make a nice bike.

 

[mtnfolk mike]

i actually don't have too many riding pics for some reason...

here's a few..

riding in Mammoth last june.. the eastern sierra's are amazing.. we usually go there for a few weeks every summer..

all singletrack...

my buddy Greg, who lives in Mammoth during the summer's..

my trusty Santa Cruz Chameleon... ex single-speed, turned 8 speed... i love this thing.. it's like an overgrown BMX..

Thanks, J. I enjoyed it for many years -- especially since it was my first bike with suspension! I would still be riding it, but the frame started cracking around the seat tube clamp. Had it welded once, but it didn't hold long.:grumpy:

The good part of that story is that I had to get a new bike, and ended up with the Enduro. I LOVE having 5+ inches of travel front and rear, 2.2 inch tires, and most of all -- hydraulic disc brakes! These are truly one finger brakes, no matter what the conditions, speed, or angle. I'm a much faster and more comfortable rider on this bike, because it's got a lot more ability to absorb punishment.

A bad day on my old Schwinn:

Fortunately, I was just starting my ride when this happened.

 

[Wandering_About]

No pictures, but I ride a Marin hardtail that I've had just over a year. It sadly hasn't seen any trails for at least a month, and at least two since anything other than the lame, flat singletrack around Lincoln NE.

It does see quite a bit of time on the rails-to-trails system around here, and I ride it to class daily. It gets plenty of miles.

sO I bent my de-railer on the last ride I went on. I bought a new mount and put it on. If I post a picture of the derailer, could you show me the direction in which it goes in and needs to be "set"? I can adjust it afterwards but I'm kinda at a stopping point and I don't want to bring it in, its a Jamis.

 

[Joezilla]

Mine is a Jamis Durango (I think thats the name). Has worked great. I even take it turkey hunting

Post away, Joe. I've worked on my derailleur before, and I'm sure there are lots of others on here who could give you some good input.
