Me too, I've got about 4 rides on my 2.1 Panaracer Fires... much better tire for where I ride and cheap too!

Cool, are you the owner of the company? Good work dude. I have one question though, whats the point of the left side chain crank when it ends up on the right side in the end? Ever make any XC bikes

My current ride: Santa Cruz Blur, full XTR treatment, 5th Element air, Fox F100X, really fun XC ride.
I still have my old Marin Indian Fire Trial, been rebuilt a few times, it's had the sh!t beat out of it many times; that bike's taken me on some kick ass rides over the years.

That is the best trials riding I have seen on a bike. I would have even been impressed if was on a trials motorcycle.

I've got a 94 gt rts3 in red. I'll try to take pics later. I had an 87 super le tour that I'd put about 200 miles a week on when I lived in FL. Sold it for what I paid for it 5 years after i bought it.
I had a bunch of different BMX bikes growin up (GT, Profile, MCS Magnum with skinnies), but my favorite BMX bike was a schwinn predator. It weighed a ton, but was indestructable. I used it as a thrash bike, a ramp bike, a freestyle bike, and jump bike. I had that for 7 years, loaned it to a friend, and the peckerhead sold it about 9 months later.

What's up with the mountain bike with the kid carrier? Do you think he really enjoys being dragged all over the mountain while sitting in a trailer? I noticed you have suspension wheres his? I could not imagine sitting in my little M101 trailer while some one else towed it with my FJ.
Just goofin ya! Cool bike. Have a Mongoose Rockadile that has had some serious upgrades.

2000 Mongoose Pro Road Bike - Titanium frame, these were built by the same frame builders who build (built?) the frames for LiteSpeed before 'Goose sold out to become department store CRAP! I bought the frame and built it up myself with Dura Ace 9 speed, Colorado Cyclist built Mavics, ITM Millenium cockpit, Profile fork, Chris King Ti NoThreadset, Selle Italia saddle, Speedplay pedals with Ti axles, Michelin rubber. Very fast ride. With my 50cm frame, it weighs about 14lbs! My mountain bike is a 1996 GT Avalanche with a Marzocchi R700 fork, Ritchey Logic pedals. I swapped stems for a shorter Salsa (Kore was OEM) and added V-Brakes when they came out (canti's were OEM). I've rebuilt the fork twice and love the ride quality. It's one heavy bitch, but it's coil/oil and plush as anything! I'm currently building a single speed with an OLD Specialized Hardrock I found out by someone's trash one day. Everything was pretty rusty, but the tires aired right up! I think it had been stolen because the S/N has been filed off and the tiires were flat. This is a fairly common bike to turn into a SS because it has horizontal drop outs that are long enough to be adjustable with a little Dremel work. I've never built a SS, but Sheldon Brown has been a life saver!  - Rob

Right now I am rolling a 1985 Bianchi Stelvio with a lower end Campy set up. I had the same bike when I was in high school and for some dumb reason I decided to sell it and buy a VW Bus with the money. I saw the one I have on ebay and landed it. I think it is a great bike. I love the lugged steel frame.
My other rig is 1995 Gary Fisher Paragon. I have it set up as a city bike, and it shows no signs of konking out on me.
My 1956 Schwinn Super Hornet Custom Deluxe with a kickback two speed Bendix hub got ripped off from my house a couple of months ago. I was pissed, but I should have brought it inside instead of locking it to my fence. Oh well, some asshole has a pretty cool cruiser now...

But they're a bit challenging when it's wet.
