Nice! If you're like me, the mtb stoked-ness will make you ignore your road bike. Which is fine unless your team still expects results when you show up for road races on the weekends. lol

Haha,
Dang, does this mean I'm just that much farther from ever having time to get in to road biking... ? Bummer.
I used to be a roadie, but once I hit dirt in 1997, I never went back. I love the woods and the trails. I've got a huge network of trails right out my back door with the occasional road for another connection.
Yesterday, I schooled 4 roadies in their peloton. I was just about at the two hour mark on my ride when they caught up and tried to pass me. No go. They hit the pedals harder, no go.
I said goodbye once I came up to my next trail, and the roadies wouldn't even say good bye. Frankly, they should be embarrased that I gave them a good spanking. Lord knows they deserved it.
The roadies around here are very unfriendly.

Here it is right after it's first crash:

Here is my new Heckler! So far my favorite place to ride is up the road a bit around Jenkinson Lake (aka Sly Park Lake) in Placerville.
Before this I had a Trek 6000 hard tail that I owned for 14 years.

Love that bike. I have one in white.

I think white would look good too! They only offered black and green for 2011.
Here's a few of my recent acquisitions. The Dekerf frame is #155 (EARLY creation!)
2010 Blur LT carbon and 17" tangerine Dekerf (too small for me but could not resist)

Just a simple 2012 Trek Marlin. Just got back into mountain biking, and it seems like a decent platform. I have some weight reduction planned for spring, not to mention the Tektro brakes suck major balls.

not sure if i posted up in this thread before, but here's my current ride, my son's bike and the latest craigslist acquisition for my daughter. the chain was rusted to the point it would hardly move and it needs cables as well but there is zero wear on the drivetrain.
New here, just made a deal to buy an FJ60 last night, should have it within the next 4-5 days or so (banks closed for Veterans Day).
Anyway, I was supprised by how many people on here mountain bike, just makes me that much happier about buying this FJ!
Here's my bike, its a 2010 Scott Voltage FR20, all stock expept bars and tires. I love this thing, but I really need to get out on it more often.

Just picked up a new bike after abusing my old specialized hard rock for years. Fuji Cross Comp, So far I dig it. We will see if I feel like the abuse of actual cross racing next season.

Cannondale!
I'm a Cannondale junkie. It's the first quality bike I ever bought once I could afford something nicer than a Fuji - and I guess I never looked back. The first picture is very $hitty because it was taken with a 3G iPhone and at night - bad combo. I'll have to take some better pics of the road bike.
Cannondale F800 - mostly stock
Cannondale R800 - built from a frame I purchased. Upgraded components.
I also have a Cannondale Capo frame (in red) that I haven't started building up yet. Once the FJ55 is done, maybe.
The scale Cannondale is one I keep on my desk at work to motivate me to ride. Sadly, I don't notice it's there any longer.

I find that to be true in a lot of places. I don't get it.
Watched Swiss Nat'l Champ girl XC'er do the same thing as you did on a Schwinn Cruiser that we'd just rebuilt to use as a pit bike. It was awesome to hear those roadie gals keep picking up a gear and see them not gaining on Joele at all.
I love it, Fly Rod didn't crash, but the bike did! Stoopid bikes!
I ride one of these, except the near two. They're
's
So far I've only managed one at a time, but I'm working on it.
