I've had my Fit for a few months now and am enjoying the experience. My son and I race bikes and we're able to haul 2 bikes, extra wheels, a cooler, overnight stuff, and various odds and ends all over Florida and still get 35+mpg!
I do have the occasion to haul three bikes and am considering a Thule Helium. Of course this means I'd have to install a hitch. I'm looking at one made by Valley. Valley Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver V58630 : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com Has anyone out there had any experience with this hitch?
I'm choosing the helium rack and this particular hitch because it seems to offer the most weight savings.

 

anyone know any good deals on a 700c wheelset?

 

1993 CUSTOM 70CM ROAD BIKE. DURA ACE/600/105 COLLABO

 

what for? fixed gear bike?

 

no for my road bike its the only thing i really need to get it running besides some small things like brake housing, cables, and bar tape.

 

umm. bicyclewheelwarehouse.com?

 

 

Nice bikes folks! I'm always surprised how many folks ride ss/fixed out there.

My wife placed a kaibosh on all new bike purchases, but I've got a pretty acceptable quiver:


That's with fat tires after a track/cross race, right now it has platforms and is in SS mode.


MTB


Cross bike (with ridiculous road-miles wheels)


BMX (sadly rarely gets ridden anymore)

And, to make everybody jealous:

 

found some old pics of my bikes.. I'll take some new pics when im done moving. They look a bit different since the pics..

cetma rack?

 

yep, its actually off the bike right now but im putting it back since im going to be using it more when I move.

 

Bikes have sure changed since I was in the business..... My kid built up a titanium frame mountain bike about 10 years ago that is an antique now..... He has right at $9000.00 in it...... Any recumbent riders around?

 

If i had room for more bikes Id have a recumbent just for the hell of it.

 

from a group ride around sf on friday

 

^ tarckbike did a jersey? awesome.

 

they've been out for a while!

 

how tall are you lol

 

No kidding ..... That has to be the tallest frame I've ever seen..... There is no way he could ride a carbon fiber frame that size and have it not flex at the bottom bracket enough to derail the chain..... His buddy rides a very small frame..... I don't think I ever sold anything like either of them size wise.

 

my bike is a 70cm. im 6'6". my friend in the picture, mike, rides a 49cm bike. not sure on his height lol
