Road Bikes
|
|
My current road race bike. Our team switched to Trek
this year and I really like this bike. This bike is 16.0 lbs as
pictured and is still stiff enough to sprint very well. |
|
Frame, fork, crankset, wheels, seatpost and shifters
are all carbon. Weight bearing spindles are steel. |
|
My Tsunami road bike from 2005. I always keep a spare
race bike around because you never know when you'll crash or break a
frame. |
|
This frame is built from Easton Scandium tubes,
Reynolds all carbon fork and Campy Record 9sp. |
Cross Bikes |
|
My Tsunami cross bike. It has an all-carbon Reynolds
fork, Campy Record 9sp and FSA carbon compact crank. |
|
I won fifteen races, the CO state championship and the CO cyclocross BAR
title (45+) on this bike in 2005 so it's very special too me. |
|
This bike is also a
lot of fun on light mountain trails. |
|
My older Tsunami cross bike still sees a lot of action
as my pit bike. Mechanical problems are very common in cross and having
a solid spare bike is key. |
|
I found this old Marin Sausolito cross frame on ebay
for $70 and built it up as a single-speed. I've used it to
commute to work and it's now my townie bike in Winter Park. |
|
A single-speed can also be nice to have as an emergency
pit bike when the conditions get nasty enough to foul a standard
drivetrain. |
Mountain Bikes |
|
My Maverick American mountain bike.
This bike pedals really well for such a cushy ride. |
|
I'm not really much of a mountain bike racer but I
managed to win some 50+ Expert races at
the 2005 Winter Park series. |
|
|
This Dean hardtail
was a light weight project but isn't getting much use because I like
the Maverick so much. |
|
|
This Bianch single-speed MTB is built up from spare
parts and ebay finds. It ended up at 19.0 lbs despite the steel fork. I
really enjoy commuting to work on local trails and dirt roads with this
bike. |
|
I had a really bad day on this bike recently when all
but one of the alloy chainring bolts broke and I had to "scooter" it
home over several miles of trails. We've since made up. |
Misc. Bikes |
|
This no-name steel frame was a nice ebay find.
Someone was clearing out a warehouse full of old Italian frames from a
bankrupt builder. It has an Italian BB and 126 dropout spacing, so I
figure it is fairly old NOS. I have it built up as a commuter bike with
a 7sp internal gear hub. |
|
|
This Bridgestone XO-4 was given to me by a friend who
was moving and needed to unload a lot of possesions. I'm not really
happy with this current flat bar setup and might change this. |
|
|
I built this townie bike for Lisa out of an old
Pinarello frame and a 7sp internal gear hub. |
