My BMX and my mountain bike were toasted years ago. I am borrowing my buddies Jeep Brand mountain bike(probably 15 years old). I pump the carp out of it, no lolly jolly trips, all gears down and going fast as I can. I am dreaming of a street racing bike, but even the low end one is $640. Up to $10K +. LOL! I just signed up for a Sprint Triathlon next month. I will be the guy peddling the mountain bike, while everyone else zips down the road low profile!

I get a kick out of some of the costumes the bikers wear.
Biden famously said in the New York Observer, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Building your own bike is pretty impressive, and I may try that someday.

I'm looking for a 29er. Saw a few at Sun & Ski I liked. Is there a big bike outlet somewhere in the DFW area?

My 2013 Kona Mahuna hard tail 29er. Got her from Bluebonnet bicycles in Lewisville. I can strongly recommend the bicycle as well as the shop. They've been great in helping me with service after the sale too!

Nice rides Brian.
Those street bikes fly compared to the knobby tired bikes. I can't keep up with those street bikes for more than a mile.
But they can't jump off or over curbs or do any sweet jumps at all.

Thanks, I really dig yours. I wouldn't recommend a Haro after having this one. I got it in about 2007 and I don't know if it's the shop that put it together or what, but since about the 1st week I've had it, something has come loose or not worked on it. I got it hear localy, and everyone I know who has one has the same problems.
I'm thinking about just doing away with two of the three front sprockets, and just being able to shift the rear. As far a s speed, I'm probably the most out of shape rider out there, and it's insane the difference in speed and distance you can "comfortably" cover on a road bike versus mountain.

I am looking for a used street racing bike if anyone knows of any? I can't afford too much. Aluminum frame is fine. Size 54, maybe 56. Thanks!
