Fat: Specialized Fatboy Carbon - Single speed or 1x11 depending on what's going on.
29r: Santa Cruz Tallboy 3 C - Mix of X01 and XX1 Eagle and Bontrager carbon wheels because they came off my last bike
Gravel/adventure: Santa Cruz Stigmata - If I could only have one bike, this would be it
I may like bikes more than trucks

Love the old Konas. My '95 Lava Dome has been through a few different builds, and I'm about to build it back up. That steel just rides so smoothly.

I had a Caldera years ago. It was a real blast to ride vs. aluminum or the early dualies. I remember just the joy or feeling like a kid again on steel.
I gave it to my son as a city commuter during his college years.

Yes. I love my Hahanna. After this season I'll be upgrading all the components to something as modern as I can justify.
Easier to just get another bike. At least it was for me. I was way out of date.
2018 Santa Cruz Hightower LT. Love my bike, luckily I'm able to ride great trails 2-3 days /week.
My Santa Cruz with my wife's Niner Rip9 last weekend.
norco bigfoot fat bike for winter and norco search gravel bike for summer. seems as though iāve become a norco fan this past year! i just got such a good deal on them. i love the look of the salsa bear grease fat bike but my norco gave me more bike for way less money. i love the ride!!

New to me 2015 spearfish 29er
I am old... school. I know that the new bikes with marginally good components are light years ahead of what I have. My problem is resource allocation. I have kids that are growing like weeds and need their own rides, so I upgraded my CX drivetrain. The leftover cassette, rear derailleur, bar end shifter and bars ended up on the incomplete Bonty OR. I ditched the 3x crank and bought a new to me 32 tooth 1x. It was more of an experiment to get back on a functional MTB but it rides well and quite honestly I might just leave it this way. I donāt ride the way I used too. Especially not on this.
Check the FB swap/sale pages for cycling and MTB. You can pick up an XT 1x10 or 2x10 drivetrain for under $100, and you don;t need new wheels or hubs.
My drop bar beast:
I like the setup. Love the Cannondale aluminum. In a micro etched cross section, under a microscope, the metal looks almost uniform through the whole joint. It has great grain structure.
I had the privilege of working for a small company that benchmarked metal structures in welded bicycle joints. I distinctly remember the mid 90s Cannondales.

Currently rocking this 1987 Trek. Iāve had it a couple years. Super decent bike... I built it up for gravel touring and camping and to emulate my 26ā LHT that I regrettably sold when I thought I was going to be moving. Only thing I miss are the drop bars. Otherwise itās perfect. I restored the biopace that had gotten smashed by something, other than that this bike was practically new old stock in some guyās attic via craigslist.
Check out that sweet rear brake setup! Shark tooth! Works pretty well actually. 1987 was an āinnovativeā year for Shimano.
