Cool thread. Some lovely bikes.

When I'm not displaying my OCD with my duc, I do so with bicycles. Custom Columbus steel road and track bikes, that is.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

wow beautiful! love that headbadge.  [drool] taking any orders? [Dolph]

Ive def come across one of these bikes before online, might have been a white track bike with orange "little fish" text on the seat and downtube I think or similar when I was researching frame building. Loved that one too ha

Took the Seven out for a 20ish mile road ride yesterday after work.  Good reminder that road riding isn't as much fun as mtn riding.

Borrowed a Niner Jet9 today, and took it out for about twelve miles of singletrack.  Not really sure what I think of the bike.  It rides nice (I'm just getting into 29ers), but...  The thing just doesn't seem to like to turn.  I know a lot of people complain about that issue with the larger wheel size, but I never noticed it so much on the other wagon wheels that I've been on.  Shame because it did pretty well in all other regards.

A battle for my soul rages. Ridley Excalibur or Surly Krampus as my next bike?

That's why I went with 650B on my IF.

I ended up getting a Santa Cruz.  Best/most neutral handling 29er I've been on.  Thing tracks like it's on rails and handles singletrack like nobody's business.

29ers are a ton if fun. If you get a chance ride a 650b.

Well, except for road bikes.

They suck.
