hoping for a DJ/trails hardtail at some point this summer if I can do it cheaply enough...

old photo of the bikes:

[comish]

'99 (I think?) Calfee Luna Pro, Full DA9, basic OP w/ DA hubs

01 (I think?) Yeti ASR, XT/XTR, mish mash of parts, but dig the King hubs. Still trying to dial in the Marzochi fork.

I've got a 1997 Schwinn Homegrown hardtail that is still going strong (assuming it's because the frame was built by Yeti). I'd love to get a softtail one of these days though... my spine would sure appreciate it.

It looks pretty much just like this one:

[El Chupacabra]

Me:

2003 Yeti Kokopelli ultralight - F/S mtn (just arrived!) SID, XTR, etc.
2002 Dean Scout - H/T ti mtn - Avid discs, XT, Manitou Skareb, misc Easton, WTB, etc.
2002 Zion Phoenix -ti road (built by Litespeed) - Ultegra, Ouzo, Shimano wheels, Time, etc.
1992 Specialized M2 - H/T mtn (doesn't get used much) - 7-spd XT, Manitou SXR, King, Ringle, Cook Bros., Avid, misc. early '90s gucci parts, etc. Built the wheels myself back in 1993. Thumbshifters rule!
1991 Costco "Skykomish" mtn bike, converted to touring bike w/ drop bars, nice-n-heavy steel w/ fenders, racks, Onza pedals (!), etc. Custom paint by Rustoleum. Snazzy Shimano 200GS drivetrain. Cranks drilled out. (commuter)

Fiance:

2002 Yeti FRO - H/T mtn - XT, Manitou Black, Avid, etc.
2001 (?) Salsa - steel road - Ultegra, etc.

The garage is full...

[truth]

1995 Gary Fisher Mt. Tam XT, Judy SL, Kooka cranks and stem.
1995 Yeti Road Pro - custom metallic paint, Ultrega groupo

Eyeing a 2005 Madone 5.2 "project one"

[bagtagley]

Dear god of bikes, please pass unto me one Blur 4x with a Pike Race, Hayes El Camino brakes, new wheels (the bike god can decide for me, cause I can't) and a SRAM drivetrain. Aaaaa...choo.

If that doesn't pan out...

[homerjay]

my preciouses-

2004 Litespeed Pisgah hardtail, xt/xtr mishmash, avid mech discs, crossmax SL wheels, Fox F80RLT fork, other nice bits.

2000 schwinn paramount - rare, lugged 853 frame (handbuilt by Match Cycles), beautiful 'flaming gold' metallic paint, ultegra/DA 9spd mishmash, just spent ~$500 on upgrades (Kestrel carbon fork, new bars, stem, CK headset, new chain, 12-27 cassette, etc.).

[lph]

trek 5200 with ultegra for the road.

Turner 5 spot with zocchi Z1 FR (which i just picked up and have only ridden around the neighborhood----Damn shitty weather!!!

SC VP Free with Zocchi 888 (although i only rode it a couple times last year, it is the love of my life......sorry, wonderwoman ).

Oh, and Arty i have begun chaining up the VP Free even when it is in the garage (if you get any ideas when i am gone on vacation. )

Now, if it would just continue to rain at all elevations and we can rid of some of this unsightly snow and allow me to take these new bikes out on a couple worthy rides.

Damn! Last I heard you were pimpin' a Heckler, now you own 2 of my favorite bikes?!

Hey Arty, I know a guy who's a wiz w/ locks. All I want is the frame, you can have everything else.

Yup, after i got on the vp free i decided a single pivot bike was not the best suspension for tahoe, better suited for fast singletrack with the occasional technical section, so i found it a good home, moved over the fork and wheelset to the 5 spot and built from there. So far, even pedaling around the neighborhood it is a fun bike. Love it.

Bought the vpfree from guy who was working on my heckler last year, but only got to ride it a handful of times before our abbreviated fall ended.

(so now i guess i got to hide it as well as lock it up, either that or just chain my mean killer dog to it. )

[watersnowdirt]

... or just chain my mean killer dog to it. )

did you get a new dog?? I mean, I know about Bodie, but who is this mean killer dog you speak of?

I'll be riding my same old 2003 Santa Cruz Superlight. Love it love it love it.

Oh, I did pick up two beach cruisers from Craiglist for $40 each. Granted, neither of them currently is ridable, but I'm hoping to change that soon.

ya, Bodie isn't the toughest dog around, but he seems to become extra loud and tough when he sees Arty. Funny, I have no idea why though.
