I forgot my favorite ride of all, the workhorse, grocery getter/dog-food hauler Moots Mountaineer from around 1983/84 with Extra-Cycle attached;better known as "the Extra-Moots".
Hand-built by Kent Eriksen back in the good 'ol days of mountain biking.


Thanks one sweet ride !!!!
 
2010 Gary Fisher Rumblefish I

This is my trail bike when we don't have Mud. I gave up my single speed and my road bike. I will be getting another road bike soon. I usually ride to work and right now I am stuck on the rumblefist till I get a road bike. I am crazy about the ride I get out of the it. I could ride all day on the trails.

The second pic is my old Guru. It would fly.

Yes, Dave does amazing work. Steel builders aren't hard to find at all, you just have to know where to look.:)

My custom Zanconato fillet brazed steel cyclocross bike.

Nice handbuilt; MT-PTK.
I'll post up my MKE handbuilt OO soon but I'm definitely jealous... PS what kind of rack is that on your 60? Looks like there are two bars projecting back?
 
Here's my MTB. I also ride road and cyclocross, but I don't have any pics of those on the computer right now.

22" Kona Hei Hei Deluxe 29er. Chris King hubs, headset, and BB. Wheels built by me. (I own my own shop. Over 15 years in the bike industry.)

Love this bike.

It's a Montague "Navigator". Ugly, heavy, but foldable Taiwan made. Best $35 I ever spent. Saves bus fare and gas. The folding feature gets me on a crowded bus. Love to find an Al or Ti framed foldable, but the only one I see is for old folks in motor homes (geeky!)Or, one with sprung forks and sprung seat or rear end. But, that adds weight.Love to go to disk brakes. Vee-brakes work Great, IF your wheel is true (Mine Never Are).

Put those ramshorn-bars on it (I prefer them.) I also added Vee-brakes (the best---saved my life!), put front brake lever on right (where it belongs); softer seat, loud horn (Again, saved my life!), one-touch index shifters (Never going back to friction shift) , and of course the saddlebags. Made of the cheapest bags you can find. Why pay $60 plus per "pannier"? I rarely carry anything worth much. It'll hold 50# of rice or potatoes. It's so cruddy I don't have to lock it. I had neat All-framed bikes but they didn't fit me. I don't care how fast it was or how slick the shifting was (One was a Garry Fisher.) Wish I had longer legs to use a 27" bike--faster, thinner tires. But, for street use, those slicks don't last long. Once you're off the pavement, they slide. Just crossing a patch of desert to save time, you need universal tires. Sliding across sand is bogus. And, of course, gelled tires. Tired of flats!.

Here's my MTB.

Looks like the frame doesn't quite fit you. Saddle post is up too high--unless it's a sprung post. My Garry Fisher was a sweet bike, but Very Small frame. I had to put the seat all the way up, too, and the handlebars, Then it didn't feel right.

iH8Mud!

After two weeks of pretty much constant rain, I finally made it out on one of my bikes. With mudslides, and water running down our road, I felt it best to bring the CycloCross bike.

One crossing was OK when I went to town...only an inch or so of soupy mud...but then was six+ inches an hour+ later with one of the neighbors trying to clear it with a tractor.

Well, I almost made it across, but had to dab at the end and coated my shoes with some good mud.

:cheers:

2001 Santa Cruz Bullit.

Had a bullit for many years, liked it but here in BC the four link bikes just work better for climbing and rule at Whistler....

Agreed, in principal. Although this Bullit has been on Whistler a couple of times, as well as Mammoth (annually), etc. The problem with 4 link bikes for me is a combination of weight and aggressive riding. Technically I'm a clydesdale rider (+210 lbs), so I have a tendency to prematurely wear multilink systems, or pay the price of a very heavy bike. The Bullit has proven to be a very stable platform for me, even with the weight and hard riding. We ride a mix of XC and DH (All Mountain?), lots of climbs and very fast technical descents with lots of drops and jumps. As long as I am diligent about maintenance; checking pivot points, maintaining shocks/forks, lubing and properly pre-loading hubs, this bike has been a wonder for nearly 10 years.

I have considered moving up to a Nomad or something similar, but as the old saying goes, if it aint broke, dont fix it.
 
Just built this up. I have wanted a 1x1 for years and stumbled upon this frame for cheap. It is a sometimes painful contrast to my geared xc and freeride bikes, but the simplicity is outstanding. I am hoping to get a back brake on there sooner than later as my last front brake only bike landed me in the hospital for the night:hillbilly:
