February 2016!

Ah, it's been a long while! What's up cyber world?? Biking...nope, haven't done much so far this year. Became soft again and became a fairweather rider. Going to change that, since I've no excuses as I do have all the prerequisite rain gear to ride. Yes, I've since switched offices, but now my commute is actually flatter AND closer. AND along a bike route the ENTIRE WAY. I hear ya, no excuses now! Bikes. Yup, got a few more, sold a few more. And various projects which are barely built, almost built, and everything in-between. Ok, a few photos, because that's what we're here for.

The old school Trek 520 that I got as a frame. Rides as smooth as my previous 520, but got to do some tweaking to get the fit right. 

KHS Solo One. I wish this was my bike, but it's not. I've the frame/fork, but been on the fence about building it up. Do I really need another single speed mtn bike? (The answer is yes, but really no)

Raleigh Back Alley S/S, Fixie. Since sold.

Giant OCR W(oman). Super small, like 46.5cm, for sale.

Giant Boulder franken bike. Threw all my mishmash of parts onto this frame, such as:

Kona saddle, MEC seatpost, Scott stem, Specialized handlebar, Manitou front shock, Bontrager tires, Deore crankset. Hey, at least it rides, who wants it??

February 2014!

New Year...well, I'm behind, but here I am now!
Already gathered a few more bikes! Added to my collection is a Klein Pulse Comp, another Rocky Mountain Cardiac, and another Rocky Mountain Fusion! Will have to find some time to take photos and post them.
 What else what else... oh, I sold my 'beater' car a few weeks ago! I already miss it, but it's in good hands.

August 2013!

1st of August already! Time flies!
Been riding quite a bit, out on my Kona Zing or Giant TCR. Sold the retro GT, and still have the Rocky Mountain Hammer, which I use to commute to work or short trips to the post office. It might be a tad large for me, but I still love riding it! It's a steel bike, but doesn't feel heavy when climbing hills!
 As for the Giant TCR, I used it last weekend at the Pt. Grey Triathlon and it worked nicely. For being a light bike though, I feel as though I can't ride it faster as compared to the Zing.
 The Kona Zing Supreme has been my go-to training bike nowadays. Unfortunately on one of my previous rides, I got a sidewall flat on the rear tire and thus, had to discard the rear orange tire. Now it's mismatched, and I've been too lazy to switch the front to a black matching tire. I have switched to a shorter (80mm) stem, and I've got a Shimano Ultegra 11-28t cassette on the way. That should really help me with the climbs on the Gran Fondo Whistler ride coming up!
 As for new bikes? I did pick up an old Giant Rincon SE, but that's for a friend who intends to use it around the seawall. It was cheaper than renting a bike.
 And I leave you for now, with a photo...I'm sure you cyclists can relate!

interim post..sorry, no photos

Just checking in..

A couple more bikes have passed through my hand in the previous few weeks, but nothing too special to mention. Still trying to get rid of a couple more bikes within my stable.

I did pick up another 1990's GT Palomar, undecided on what to do with it!

Bike to Work week is coming (May 28 - June 1, 2012), get riding! Bike to Work Week
