Just got my new ride today.... 2011 Globe Roll 1. Was commuting (around 15miles 5 days a week) with a pile of junk from Wal-Mart. This was long over due. I currently have it so I can coast... but hopefully soon I will be comfortable to switch it over to a fixie.0

Congrats Jenn. Globe Rolls are cool lookin bikes! Flip flob hub, right? I have to admit I keep my single speed on the coasting hub almost all the time, but that's how I roll (pardon the pun!).0 -

Yes on the flip flob hub... And it is a good looking bike. I am in love.

I have a 1988 Cannondale SM700 MTB that has been just about everything possible, I'm currently converting it into a single speed...
The old Crack N Fail dressed up as a city bike.
I bought a Charge Mixer 8 this last January to do my trailer tugging duties.....
Strong steel frame, disc brakes, 8 speed Alfine hub, this bike is really good for this job, great city bike too!
and my third ride is what I call a "Lrrb", or "Long Ride Road Bike", this is not a touring bike, nor is it a racing bike.
I got an NOS steel frame here, most likely a late 80's frame and I cobbled together some new, some old and some donated parts.
The slightly relaxed steel frame with the Brooks B17 saddle means I can ride this bike all day and not get beat up. The Lrrb cost me less than $600 all told, not bad in my books, and it is a really nice ride, not the lightest, not the quickest, but enjoyable.

Got it. Thanks0 -
I ride a 2006 Trek 7500 Hybrid Bike. It works for me due to my weight. I have already done 2 centuries on it, one flat and one more hilly and like to ride longer distance rides 20-60 miles during the warm months.0

I become a collector today. My dad always says it takes three to be a collector.
Bikes:
1991 Novara Espresso (REI hybrid)
2011 Specialize Roubaix SL3 (bought an '09 but frame broke so this is a replacement.)
2006? Trek 520 (bought on eBay with panniers and gear)
Actually spending Thanksgiving at my in-laws and the bike is in the same town. Will pick up later today.0 -

Congrats on the new addition to the stable!
I think the Trek 520 is one of "THE" touring bikes!0 -

I need to test ride a Trek 520. I am sooo undecided on how to go on building up a touring bike for next year. The more I read, the more addled my brain gets. To me, the true test is just to get out and ride, then decide. So I will be doing a lot of that!0 -

Thanks. I have always heard if you are touring look at the 520. I took my old Novara for a summer of riding in Europe three years ago. Got this for that dreamed of trip across America.
Came with four panniers, front and rear packs, sleeping bag, box of clothing barely used, cateyes, pump, etc. Pretty much set for touring. Now to plan this summer's touring trip.0 -
My rides look like this:
Rode Ride: Orbea Onix
Commuter / Cross: Surly Crosscheck
Fixie / townie: Motobecane Fantom Cross Uno
Mountain: Santa Cruz Chameleon0 -
Trek 1.5 WSD for road biking.
REI Novara Corsa that has my granddaughter's Kangaroo seat attached to it
My original Schwinn High Timber 2.6FS that I started out on and found out I loved biking. It's held up great and I still use it for running errands because it has a rack and panniers.0 -
25 years ago, I blew out my knee doing an MS150. I put the bike away (okay, it got stolen), I porked out, got slow and haven't touched a bike since... until I went low carb, dropped 30 pounds and found myself craving a bicycle again.
My "new" ride is a 1996 Specialized RockHopper that I picked up off of Craigslist for $40. Sure, it needs some tweaking (new saddle, tires, bar ends, etc.),,, but for what I've put into it? Hell, it's a sweet commuter bike now... and if something happens to it, I still have less than $200 bucks in it. I would cry... but not like I would be crying if something happened to a brand new one.
