I have a Specialized Sirrus. It's a hybrid street with straight handlebars. Very similar to LM's single speed.

1999 Specialized Rockhopper. Last year they made it in Chrompoly steel. All components have been upgraded except front fork, hubs and wheels.



2015 Specialized Allez. Put Shimano clips on it recently.

If you've got Facebook, might look at this group called "Bicycles! Beg Borrow Trade Sell Fort Worth"

Watch it long enough you're liable to catch a deal.

Thanks! I am about to set up on the street corner and start begging.

(I know, I know...I even contemplated selling a few fishing rods or a gun to buy a bike!!)

I wish it was a street bike.

My bikes...
80s Specialized road bike, bought from by brother-in-law at his garage sale...$40?
2001 Haro Vector V1, still have it, old-school hardtail mountain bike...
2009 Specialized Hardrock, my first 29er, gray with blue "tape" stripes. I sold it a few months ago...
2014 Specialized Jett Comp 29er, bought brand new in November of 2015. It was brand new, but had been in the store a long time...good discount! First photo is with my first handlebars that were white, but I painted them striped.
The remaining photos are newer, just last week before the rain, with slightly taller handlebars, taped up striped. I like the striped look.

Go ride, if you can find a place off road...

In total, I have 3 bikes, but really only need 2. I cannot get myself to get rid of my first mountain bike, the blue Haro. I rarely ride it, but it's like selling my first guitar...which hurt a lot!

My Jamis Xenith Endura comp
totally tricked out with Dura-ace, integra components.
changed to a cheaper ,better seat, not that white butt breaker.


For Gravel roads, rough pavement, I have one of these:



My Third Bike is a Kayak

2014 Cannondale CAAD 10, with 105 Shimano gear shifter, Cobb seat. My new baby all the way from South Louisiana. Block from the shrimp dock! This was a picture from Sunday morning after the Triathlon. Such a fun morning!!

Don't tell anyone, but I also bought some riding shorts (tight kind with pad), gloves and even got a zip up shirt to go with it. No wind flapping slowing me down!! Everyone thinks they are just the style for riders....but you get a chapped butt and you too will be buying a pair and adding some butt paste!!

Ballers gonna ball!

I prefer dirt bike trails over cement trails and definitely prefer them to riding street.

With this constant rain, and Dorba keeping all trails closed, dirt riders won't be riding until July or even August.

Agreed. Last year I was going on the mountain bike kick a few times a week and having a blast but with the rain, it's hard to find a good place to ride. I hear Rowlett Creek is open some, but still messed up from the floods.

Any suggestions on where to ride? I have been using the City of Plano trails around Bob Woodruff and managing to get in 10miles or so on an after work ride on the 29 but would like a change of pace.

When the trails are all wet, and Dorba closes them, I did discover a secret area to ride, but dirt and white chalk rock. Both are fun, and I usually do them a couple days after the rain stops. There is no authority to tell you that riding isn't allowed. If you get muddy, it's on you, but at least you can ride. I'll message you if interested.

I have been using the indoor trainer for my rides. Heck of a workout. No coasting...LOL!

Rowlett Creek Preserve trail is closed...just a bit muddy!
