Amazing day on the trails. Xavier, two friends, a dad, and a friend's sister. The Garmin watch paused and didn't auto-start so I don't have the distance, but 6-8 miles of single-track at least. Some of the kids were getting tired so I took them to the parking lot via road whike the dad who was sticking with his little girl for miles got to cut loose and chase down the fast kid.

One of my favorite mountain bike rides of all time.

Looking at this pic, I expect to hear some announcer saying...

"Coming this Christmas, a heartwarming tale of a rag tag bike club and the crazy antics that turned them from losers into winners, when their new coach, played by Billy Bob Thornton, teaches them about bike racing, alcohol abuse and life in general." Rated PG13.

My old MTB...

A friend of mine has lent me his cheap dropper seatpost (a Tmars but I don´t know the model) and  I´m triying this now that I'm resting.

It seems to me that taking technique is a great success as walking down very broken paths... Because you can move your ass around the bike and change your gravity point.

Someone else has used dropper seatpost?

I'll try this a couple more weeks and if I like it I'll buy a RS Reverb

[Dreadhead]

I have one but I don't ride my mtb at all...

Slacker.

I want a dropper post for my hardtail. You should just get a Thudbuster.

My son's bike

Nice! Didn't know Spin was still making wheels.

... only for little profesionals

About Spin wheels. Someone remember the Trek Y-22?

 

[grawk]

Colin has one

[MexicanDragon]

Colin has one

He has the Y66, I believe. The road bike version.

José, are you into vintage bike stuff at all?

I have a Y22 somewhere in Texas.  It was a fun bike, but in no way comparable to a modern full suspension bike.

I am beginning to wonder if a fat bike would have made more sense than the gravel bike with all the snow in the forecast around here.  Might be able to get out for a ride on Saturday before the next 4-8 inches come Saturday and Sunday.

You should get a fat bike; may I recommend this one?

I would like but no, I only know about some classic models and the Y22 is one them.

The Y22 is not a new design and haven´t the same performance but I think that in his time, the Y22 was a radical bike.

About classical bike, I'm searching a road bike (aluminum) of the 80. I need one for training on the "roller". I would like a Bianchi (Pantani is one of my idols) but really I haven´t any preference

Someone is selling a 57cm 1992 Klein Quantum with 10/11spd Dura Ace wheels and a full Ultegra Di2 gruppo. I'm fairly in love with this.

[VPI]

Should I buy it and have someone repeatedly run over it in front of you?

[MexicanDragon]

DIAF.
