Cool thread. Some lovely bikes. When I'm not displaying my OCD with my duc, I do so with bicycles. Custom Columbus steel road and track bikes, that is. http://suzyj.blogspot.com.au/ |

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Ive def come across one of these bikes before online, might have been a white track bike with orange "little fish" text on the seat and downtube I think or similar when I was researching frame building. Loved that one too ha |

Took the Seven out for a 20ish mile road ride yesterday after work. Good reminder that road riding isn't as much fun as mtn riding.

Borrowed a Niner Jet9 today, and took it out for about twelve miles of singletrack. Not really sure what I think of the bike. It rides nice (I'm just getting into 29ers), but... The thing just doesn't seem to like to turn. I know a lot of people complain about that issue with the larger wheel size, but I never noticed it so much on the other wagon wheels that I've been on. Shame because it did pretty well in all other regards.

A battle for my soul rages. Ridley Excalibur or Surly Krampus as my next bike?

That's why I went with 650B on my IF. |

I ended up getting a Santa Cruz. Best/most neutral handling 29er I've been on. Thing tracks like it's on rails and handles singletrack like nobody's business. |
