Pieter-za Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Bike 2 is the 99 trek - I think it was the first full carbon bike to finish at the front of the TDF and it was the first time a customer could go out and buy the same bike off the shelf that the pros were riding. It's a really significant bike marred by the controversial rider. None of Lance's antics can detract from the fact that he got me (and thousands of others) back on a bike. I don't know anyone who quit because he was bustMine is resplendent in period incorrect Super Record 11 and I did the 2018 Argus on it - it lives on old school mag trainer these days and gets ridden when I watch cyclingA slight sidetrack for a moment - coincidentally saw this today : https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ebay-finds-lance-armstrong-replica-trek-5500-oclv/ Tjommie 1

Hairy Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 THE WORK HORSE: GT Meatball She is my daily commuter, and we have done many a thousand km together through good and bad weather. The only orgional components left on the bike is the fixie cog, the frame/fork/headset and brakes. Wheels replaced with a set of Wheels ex. Rook CyclesSaddle is a Spaz Phenom I got from a fellow commuter that was torn, so I indulged in a glass of red wine and decided to re-upholster the saddle is a ox blood leather. This now shows nice wear and tear.Tyres are a new set of 700x35c that managed to fit into the frame and something I am looking forward to giving a spin. She has had a wipe down, a serious clean only happens once or twice a year with her ... as long as the drive train is clean, then all is good to go! Rest of the bits and bobs were replaced for better fit or due breakage. Running the brake line through the GT triple triangle Deluxe Coffee Works Stickers, you have to show your loyalty! Fun fact, the GT Meatball logo reflects/glows in the dark when you shine a light on it or take pic with a flash. Every commuter needs a bell! The D.I.Y Saddle cover job The paint is translucent, so you see the brushed alum underneath. capediver, BlinkFan, DawieO and 11 others 14
Hairy Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 THE PLAY BIKE: 2018 YT Jeffsy 29'er Base Model A reasonably recent purchase earlier in the year from Black Sheep Bikes. I was fortunate enough to pic her up as a Demo Bike. She is all stock other than the New Reverb dropper post that replaced the nice to use, but crappy build E-13 dropper. Fell in love with this bike on the first ride, and have never had a bad day out on her. A bit of a rash from being used as a demo bike She has been getting around and will need new takkies soon. Gorilla Tape works well as frame protection. A very simple change made by the RS design team as part of their attempt to make a dropper with a reduced "stack" in order to get more stroke on the dropper. They inverted the rails ... so simple. johnson, Bos and ChrisF 3
Hairy Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: Momsen STR (2) SS Build This build has taken far too long to complete, and she is still not 100% done as yet. The frame was a lucky purchase from a hubber.Niner Rigid fork ex. ChewiabablalBrakes ex. that Swiss dude .... promised him I would never sell them, and think they are on their 4th bike build now.Carbon Roval Wheels ex. a fellow commuterSkinwall Ardents ex. CWC saleAnd the rest of the goodies I had lying around from previous builds. I do need to replace the stem with a 60 or 70mm optionShe needs new gripsThe Giant Dropper needs to be connected to the leverRear disc rotor to be fitted. ... but both would ideally need to be replaced with new 180mm rotors. We have only been for a ride in the driveway thanks to COVD-19 Lock Down Edited April 5, 2020 by Hairy johnson, NotSoBigBen, Grease_Monkey and 5 others 8
