Here's my rockhopper. Its an 87. Fixed gear, 48/17 2.1 tires (slick) front brake only. Narrowed handle bars for comfort. Racks front and back now, with a pannier in back on the left for commuting daily to and from work. IRO Fixed/fixed hub in the back on a Velocity CliffHanger rim. Front is just a cheap mavic/deoreLX combo that I hate (The hub is dying after only 2 years....)
Shown with 1.25 tires and platform pedals, it now has 2.1's and shimano SPD mountain pedals on it, and a front rack to match.

Hey, since all the pedalheads are assembled, what's a good, quality bike for children? I've bought my kids Treks and Schwinns, but are they ever heavy! Heavier than my road bike (old steel Fuji), mountain bike (Trek), and the wife's hybrid (Trek). Why are "quality" kid's bikes heavier than adult bikes?

How little??
My son is on a specialized hot rock, bought for him 1.5 years ago 6 speed and he seems to like it, It is almost as heavy as my hard rock sport (05) but hard tail rear and shocked up front. We will move him to a 20" rim next spring.

dude, you aren't lying. I just sold two of my freestyle bikes that I grew up with in the Mid 80's, (a Mongoose FS1 and a Haro FST) and they were each twice as heavy as my Fisher... and my Fisher isn't light by any stretch of the imagination. I'd be suprised if the Haro weighed less than 45lbs.

How are you liking the 29er thing. The guys on the 29er board talk about them like they are the holy grail. I have seriously contemplated dumping my Turner and trying a Waltworks or Soulcraft Holy Roller.

I have a Giant Trance 4 Frame that I built up with much better components.
Old Specialized carbon road bike with an all new Ultegra groupo.
My old school Scrambler still ready to go (the kid at the local bike shop borrowed it recently and took first in a race and that's why the seat is like that, must be some new cool thing to do, looks painful to me).

My commuter, soon to put the studded Hakkas on it. Snowing tonight, but sloppy wet. This'll be my first winter on this new bike, I'm expecting it to do well in the cold. My Cannondale SuperV was great, I used to tow the kids through the snow on a sled.

Those are some sweet bikes! I was checking out some sevens today at the local bike shop. VERY nice, mmmmmm titanium They are having SEVEN demo days here soon, I might have to take one for a spin and just not return.

Spot's are cool. A guy on my team just got a titanium one. It only weighs 17lbs! Its the sweetest single speed mountian bike I have ever seen.

It could just be my riding style or conditions, but the front slides and the rear doesn't grab for me... and heaven forbid you have to get through some wet, they don't clear mud at all.

Are you 6'9" ? The last time I saw a head tube that long, the guy was 7'1". He had a long torso though
Thats him next to my 4'11" wife.

Tell me about it! The Bontrager tires that came on my Big Sur SUCKED. Coming around a few highspeed turns got to be a scary ordeal. I have since switched tires and they handle much much better.
