First thing I did was to change the saddle, it was horrendous, I couldn't walk right for days lol x0 -
Ha, that is too funny--where'd you find that?!
My ex-girlfriend found it 15 years or more, whilst on holiday in spain I believe...
It's lasted much better than she did, that's for sure (and I'm far too much of a gentleman to compare their respective ride qualities... :laugh:)0 -
Hey everyone! I have no clue how to post a pic here. Can anyone give me a hint or a link to some MFP instructions? I just tried to copy and paste from "My pictures" but that doesn't work. I hate to put my ignorance on display but I have no idea how to do this!
PS: I often use one of my bikes (one road and one mountain) as a profile pic but lately I have been changing my profile pic daily to reflect the exercise done that day. My poor road bike hasn't seen the light of day in a while.0 -

You will need to host the picture online, someplace like photobucket.com, create an account, upload you pics to their site, then copy the "IMG" tags and paste them into here. **Note: you will need to change [IMG][/IMG] at the front and end of the tag to lower case [img][/img]0 -

Thanks! Very helpfull, but it sounds like too much trouble for me as I have no interest in having photo's online. Not really proud to be old school/old fashioned just too lazy I guess.
So, just a description will have to suffice:
1. 2010 Giant XTC-1 mountain bike with XT cranks, shifters, deraillrurs and Avid Elixir CR brakes and Kenda Karma L3R Pro tires. A very fast bike that loves to carve!
2. 2007 Specialized Roubaix road bike still pretty much showroom stock - all 105 with compact cranks. I changed the saddle as the stock one made my right leg go numb on any ride over twenty miles. Nice comfy bike that suits my riding style well at this point in life (59 years old.)0 -
This is my 'nice weather' bike. Fortunately I wasn't on this when I crashed the other day - I think that would've been 'expensive!'

Finally, an old Cannondale Killer V700 hard tail I'm in the process of rebuilding... just stripped down to bare aluminum and hope to start parting up in the spring!

Nice stable of bikes!
I rebuilt from the aluminum up my old 1988 Cannondale SM700 a while back, recently chopped the dropouts off it and build track forks for it, turned it into a single speed for bombing around town...
Vertical dropouts gone!!
Track forks built.
I just love it all over again! :happy:
I also recently built new wheels for my trailer tugging Mixer 8, the 700C wheels were fine, but the frame on the bike, especially the chain stays are REALLY tight to the tyre, so I went with some 26" wheels, as I have disk brakes, I can do that! :drinker: This way I can run bigger tyres, with more volume in them, easier on the streets of Tokyo, better traction too! I also put a dynamo hub up front so I don't have to worry about lights. I got the Philips SafetyRide dynamo powered lights too, work great!
In the pic above the bike is still shod with the 700C fenders, I've since put 26" fenders that I took off the Cannondale onto the bike.
