MexicanDragon Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 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.**BRENT** 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 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."

jose Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited December 7, 2016 by jose Orthography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 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. **BRENT** 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
