Not Spesh indeed. I wonder if the Specialized CX team noticed my struck-through logo when I "visited" the CX course earlier.

Would replace the Rockhopper with this:

 

hnnnnnnng!

 

Did a rather long ride this Sunday:





Mountain Bike Ride Profile | Cannel Plunge- the hard way near | Times and Records | Strava

 

Holy **** Dave, great ride!

 

California Commies are mocking me with their elevation features.

 

That's awesome. Did you ride up that paved road, or was it a combo of dirt/pavement/trail?

Pretty jealous of some of your geological features that you have that are so different from where I am. Would be nice for a trip, but not having ridden much elevation I would die.

 

yeah, we rode up 35 miles on paved roads, then down 25 miles of singletrack. Normally you shuttle up the paved road and ride down the trails, but we wanted to kill ourselves and ride the whole loop.



I feel like **** today.

 

would pay to see hustler ride this in public:

 

Tire colors need to be changed to white on one end and yellow on the other.

 

No speedplay, no care.

 

What kind of ******* routes a cable that way?

 

If the brake QR was tightened I'd ride it.

 

BRB, out for mustache wax and a box of cloves. I believe TSE can mail me the mustache wax.

 

I'm assuming you already have the deep v-neck and girl jeans?

 

Instead of upgrading my 1990's era Kuwahara with STI levers and maybe a bar, bar tape, cassette with something more suited for river valley climbs I decided to get a more modern bike. Picked this up for $500 CDN and will sell the old steed for $200 CDN.
I'm interested to see the ride difference from Triple Butted Cro-Mo and Cro-Mo fork to Aluminum and Carbon fork. I also notice that the new bike's tires although the same 23 width as the old they are much taller. That should help on some rough sections as well.

I wonder if I'll miss the Bio-Pace chainrings?

199X Kuwaraha Pulse - FULL 105



2009 Giant Defy1 - Mostly 105

 

Nice,

Now flip that stem like a road bike should be.

 

I haven't even fitted the pedals yet. (sticking with eggbeaters so they match the MTB) It is quite a bit taller bar height - yes. I'll just grab a flat stem one of these days.

 

zOMG!!!

 

I want Enve **** so bad, it hurts.
