Just thought I'd share my means of conveyance with you all.

The sun is coming out after 2 wks of rain.

Since we're sharing.
My old Trek urban bomber (seriously upgraded '90 multi-track 750) was stolen... I snapped up this rockhopper for $150 on craigslist. A different beast, but getting there. Most upgrades were from my parts bins (On-one handlebars & fork, old & tall kore stem, barcons, slicks, disc brake/wheel & tektro long pull levers). I still need to pull the stock crankset & put some old standard BCD cranks w/ a 48 or 50T big ring, I spin out pretty quick with the 42ish that's on there.

Oh yeah, that's pretty small for a big ring, unless you're doing some serious climbing or spending more time on a singletrack than on the flats. I have to say I love my 60T front ring on most days, except when it's excessively windy, or my daughter insists on bringing her 40LB friend along to ride in the trailer.

My commuter

Here is my main commuter bike at the present, Gunnar Sport with mostly Ultegra components, Open Pro wheels and Conti GP 4 Season tires. I had been commuting about half the time on my Waterford RST-22, but recently decided to take it out of the rotation and use it mainly for weekend rides and supported tours. About once a week when there is no threat of rain, I ride my De Bernardi SL. I also commute occasionally on my Bob Jackson World Tour.

Your saddle position looks awkward (er..maybe unconventional is a better word), but it's so consistent across your fleet, it must be working for you.


My steed:

I have short legs and a long torso so I played around with saddle height and position for a long time before settling on the current configuration. It seems to be working pretty well for the time being but I know it's by no means precise. I'm open to a proper fitting but don't have $150+ to blow on getting the ratios dialed in to precision.
