man this thread got dug up from the past.. So much fun to look back at what some of us were riding compared to what they ride now...

Thank you for the quick trip down memory lane

Kona Caldera

This is my first 'real' bike! Got two years ago. Great starter bike for sure. I take it out pretty much every weekend from Big Bear to San Diego. I saw a couple other Kona HTs on here... nice!

Built this in the late summer. Total came out to be 750ish

Bike rides real well!

Azncarbos that is how a mountain bike should look, custom and extremely dirty!

My hardtail

Here's my hardtail, GF Superfly, XX group, Juicy Ultimates, and 1.8 tires. I live in London now, and there are no trails, no races, just flatness for miles... What a waste of a nice bike.

Here is a little blast from the past. Yes, I still own it.

Beautiful bike!!! Well you can ship it back to the State and I will make sure to use it!

Put a Domain on my 456 a month or so back, finally got to take a picture of it (at the Luge of course).

And yea its slack as hell and weighs 34 pounds now, but it descends so well that I don't really care

Ok I have a question , hopefully nobody laughs. I just got a Gary Fisher RiG SS 29er hardtail. Its my first single speed. Here it goes , is taking off the rear tire & wheel the same as a geared bike? I have a quick release on the rear but how do I get the play on the chain like a geared bike chain to pull the wheel off ?? I haven't tried it yet and was just wondering , since i know that many of you know. Please let me know.

thanks

Thats a sweet GF Superfly!!

My newest addition. 21 pounds with big wheels.

Ritchey Niti

I dont ride the Richey Niti as much as my dual suspension bikes these days, but still do enjoy riding on a single track on this thing.
