Phoenix Gold Phorum

I bought myself a sweet new bike this weekend. A "Salsa Fargo", which is a weird mutant between a road bike and a mountainbike, designed for "adventure touring". Basically I figured it would help me reduce my fleet down to a manageable one or two bikes, instead of FIVE

So while I was prepping my old bikes for sale, I figured I would get pics of them while they were all in one place. Thought this might also be a good opportunity for you folks to share your bikes as well!

the kind of bike you would see in a cyclocross huh? I only have one, a cannondale jekyll with a lefty on it. I been wanting to get a vid of me riding a wheelie on it as that is all I can do these days. My best was just under a mile but I had to snake my way through my neighborhood with 14 turns along the way.

Oh and check out Wendy's bike! It's 50000x nicer than any of mine!

Yeah, Cyclocross is where I was intending to go for the last few years, but those frames are a little aggressive for my tastes. When I ride, I tend to go on pretty long rides, and I get burnt out pretty quick on an aggressive frame. The Fargo is much better suited for longer travels, especially when loaded with gear.

I was blessed for the years I was in az as there was great year-round riding just around the city of phoenix but a short trip to the mountains of sedona or down to tucson and it only got better. So a video search for south mountain and there are lots of vids to give you an example, I rode every trail on there, miss them like hell now........

Bikes are one of my other hobbies/passion besides car audio, and it just so happens that I finally got my new BMX frame in and got my bike back together this weekend!

Mine is very similar to this one, 2009 Specialized Hardrock. I bet I have rode it a total of 10 times since we bought it.

ah yer killin me. I miss my bike and my trails in az as much as I do pizza/wings/beer. I think the last time I checked the odometer it read 2500 miles but that is not accurate as it only measures how far the front wheel as gone and I just love to ride wheelies... There is proabably a couple hundred more miles then that on the back wheel.
