What kind of bicycle do you ride?

[HARDTRAILZ]

I rock a real old Specialized Hard Rock complete with flat tires and cobwebs.

That s the bike I always wanted. Time to search CL.

I dont have a picture on this computer, but I have a Diamondback Insight 1, I had gotten a bike from a big box store and the crank bent after a week/8 miles on it. The Diammondback has served me well the last 2 years, has over 400 miles on it already.

Got my son a 18 inch hot wheels bike for his 4th birthday On July 12. So I had to get this old beauty up in running so My wife, son, and I can all ride. She's a 1999 Schwinn PRO-STOCK SE. I had the frame since new and traded it years ago and got it back about 2 years ago and just rebuilt her yesterday from a donor bike.

I have a 2006 Mongoose magnesium/aluminum frame trail bike with disk brakes and adjustable shock suspension.

With the proper leg strength and air pressure in the tires this thing flies!


Similar to this one. It was around $500 when I bought it.

I ride a gray Mongoose Snare.
As far as features vs. price go, this is the best bike I've owned. It has all of the features of expensive bikes (one-touch shifters, front & rear disc brakes, 24-speed etc) for only $300 brand-new.

I mainly use it off-road on hilly terrain but occasionally do a circuit with my buddy on the local back roads. It's geared perfectly to pull the hills and fly when the terrain is flat.
This bike has been abused but is still rolling; I broke the adjustment for the shifter so a few gears won't work and paint is wearing off in some places, but other than that she's held up well.

 

[fishcreek]

I ride single speed mountain bikes..

 

[AquaLady]

I have toooo many. Lowriders, mountain bikes, bmx and motorcycles lol. My favorite bike was the Pacific Scorpio.

 

[TB_n00b]

Specialized Tarmac S-Works SL4 with Frankensteined SRAM Force and Red Components and a Cannondale CAAD9 with Shimano 105 and SRAM Force brakes.

Mines a 2000 Schwinn Sierra GT... I really like riding again, brings back the memories...

Oh, and I have this in storage, planning on restoring it... I rode one all around Pymatuning state park when I was a kid. Always said if I ever found one, I was going to buy it... 1974 Green PPV (People Powered Vehicle)

Lots of parts will be upgraded... It has a state of the art shift on the fly 3 speed trans...lol (state of the art in 74...lol)

I am also rocking a late 90's Specialized Hardrock. My bike looks like an antique compared to the new mountain bikes with disc brakes and shocks in the front and rear. Back in 96 though it was top of the line, not so much now

Never posted a pic, but I upgraded my from my late 90's Specialized HardRock to their 2014 model. Bikes have come a long way. Hydraulic disc brakes, adjustable travel/locking front shocks, and the bike is much lighter than my 90's HardRock. You can see my old HardRock in the background.

 

[Denali n DOO]

Mines a '87 Raleigh, still in good shape since it spends most of it's time hanging in the garage. If I were to get a new one I'd get this, a GMC Denali by GM. Saw it at Cosco.

 

[CaptainKD]

Currently sporting a 2023 Giant Cypress 3. Best beater I could afford. So far it has severed me well. Here's a photo of a bike-packing trip last year - mile marker 0 in DC. Pittsburgh to DC via GAP/C&O trail. 6 days / 350 miles. Best solo journey so far.

I have a Trek hanging on a rack above my Rivian in my garage. Have not ridden it in years. Need to sell it. My back wont allow me to ride anymore..

Need to look at getting a Recumbent Bike.

 

[Mooseman]

What's a bike?

 

[Redbeard]

As I've. gotten older I need three wheels.

 

[Sqrly]

I got this from a used bike seller for $50. It's worth 10x that

 

[Sqrly]

As I've. gotten older I need three wheels.

My X has one like it. She loves it. I do not. It feels unstable to me. I've been riding motorcycles for 45 years, I'll stick to 2 wheels.

 

[TJBaker57]

I haven't ridden anything for decades. Rode a 1972 Norton Combat Commando Interstate back in the day. Then a 1974 Honda CB750.

74 CB750K you say? I rode one for several years. I got it for free. I rescued it from a snow bank in Mi. It was already customized I just nursed it back to health. I was given the 97 BMW R1100R for Xmas 2020 so I sold the Honda. I put it on cragslist one night for $750, there was a guy in my driveway with a pickup and a handfull of cash the next morning.

1982 CB750F. Those were the days . . .

 

[Sqrly]

1982 CB750F. Those were the days . . .

At one point I had a 79 CB750K. I got it for free too, from a co worker. He had replaced the cam chain and couldn't get it to run. Turns out he thought the valve shims were spacers and were all the same. A few hours of measuring, math, and musical shimming and it ran beautifully. But OMG the noise! It had a 4 into 1 Hooker exhaust system on it and it was deafening.

I flipped it at a high rate of speed while (redacted). I suffered only a swollen knee. I was in full riding gear and seperated myself from the vehicle by instinct. After that I sold it to another freind who fixed it back up. Then he sold it because he fell alseep riding it. (A whole other story there)
