2005 Bike Friday Crusoe
Folding bike |
Description: A light touring bike. It's as light as my rigid singlespeed bike, has 27 gears (gears - what a concept) and fits in a suitcase.
I bought this when I signed up for my first commercial bike tour and needed a serious touring bike. After the first 1000 miles or so, I even learned to ride it with no hands (the small wheels make the steering kind of twitchy).

2006 Rivendell Quickbeam
Single Speed Road bike |
Description: From the elves of Rivendell... comes a steel-framed singlespeed road machine that fits me almost as well as a custom bike would. And it's pretty.
I installed a smaller freewheel so that the gearing is now 40/16 (68 gear inches) and a singlespeed crank (no extra chainring and chainguard). Even though the flip-flop hub is free-free, a fixie-riding friend of mine thinks I should put a fixed cog and a retaining ring on the flip side. I'm thinking about it...
Less Gears! More Beers!

Diamondback Sorrento
XC Mountain bike |
Description: aka the Suicide Machine. The SM (it had Suicide Machines decal on it when I got it) is a beater mountain bike that I set up with platform pedals and a rack and folding baskets. I used it for running errands and for other rides where it helps to show up in regular clothes. I retired it when I got my Breezer Uptown 8.
