Awesome to see this thread. I've got a Trek 1500 and a 2010 Fit Sport MT, and I'm pretty sure they're pals.

Do you folks just toss the bikes in the hatch, or do you have racks set up?

 

I really like the Orange, actually. If anything, I'd say your bike has too much "Cannondale." It's on the downtube four times?

 

right now just toss in the back but i'm going to get a yakima roof rack

 

i can fit my bike in my EF without removing the front tire, lol. i want a roof rack but it's out of my budget right now unless i happen to come across a craigslist 5-finger special

now that summer is over, bikes on craigslist are super cheap. i can buy a new ss for the price of the wheelset i wanted to get... hmm

 

FYI Biketoberfest Sale at Surf City Cyclery! Surf City Cyclery, Specialized Bicycles Huntington Beach, Specialized Bicycles Costa Mesa, Best Bike Shops in Orange County, California Sweet deals!

I have Yakima Roof rack....my hold up to three bikes.

Here picture of few of bikes....

The Specialized S-Work now has SRAM Red groupo withBontrager Race lite wheels and behind it is overhaul of 1986 Bianchi with Shimano Ultegra 6600 groupo with Bontrager Race X lite wheels and next that one is overhaul GT hardtail with SRAM X.O, Avid Elixir CR Brakes, and Bontrager Race lite wheels and the next one which you can only see the wheels is my 47lb Rocky Mountain RMX 2.0 downhill with SRAM X.9 and this weekend for the Santa Barbara Century...I will be riding Giant Defy Advanced 1 with Shimano Ultegra 6700 with zipp wheels. I have plan to take my buddy 09 Specialized S-Work Stumpjumper 29er and build a single speed with Avid Elixir CR for brakes.... it fun sport!

Also my workshop has been rearranged

 

I don't know if you guys are fixed gear haters but this is my baby.
Ive been building her up for like 2 year or so putting some new parts every once and awhile.


heres my bike on my car

 

nice nice nice

 

RE30 is so nice rim

 

fixie takes balls to ride. i commend that.

in before peter hate.

 

siiiiiiiiiiiick bike oOopinkmanoOo!
i have the same seating position as you do and i always get hated on for it. pedaling in that position puts less stress on my craptastic knees and its comfortable for me. i can probably go 20-30 miles before any back fatigue.

 

going for a ride after work today. if i add one more lap to the loop i take i can do 30 miles today

 

damn, mike. at that pace you'll need new tires before i do. glad to see you're enjoying your investment, too many bikes are bought because of hipster-hype then stored in the dark corner of the garage... so sad.

i saw your post on bikeforums.net in the ss/fg picture thread

 

thanks guys !
GD3_wagoon I know what you mean about the seat man!
And wow 30 miles a day that intense! I wish i could ride my bike more often hahah

 

not every day lol
3 times a week

i have about 35 miles on my bike so far.

when i get my road bike i'll start training for a century

 

nice! I was plaining to do like a big 2 day biking trip to San Diego, but the plans never went through. dang! i need to get in shape hahaha
Some times when im ridding i wish i had some gears but in the end i think its more fun with out them

 

Thirty miles. Fuuuuuuuuuuu

feels good to do it

 

wow, sounds like a sweet ride mike!
i hate you guys, you make me poor... i'm buying a new bike for myself during christmas. probably going to build around a leader 725tr frame mmMmMmmmmm

 

i'm thinking one day riding down valley blvd into LA and back from my apartment.

 

we're trying to get a ride organized from malibu down to santa monica, stop by mitsuwa for a quick bite to eat, then back to malibu: 44.2 miles round trip mV(^.^)Vm

only problem i have is that i don't think my walmart ss will make it that far and back without something breaking lol

 

thats the beauty of a ss though isn't it? simplicity?

i'm down for that.
