What kind of bike do you have?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

my new ride is a dakar xlt 1.0, nixon, raceface, x.9; i built it up because a)i needed a new frame, one that didn't flex under me so much; b) the old frame is still viable for someone in the family, so after i rebuild/repaint it, well...maybe my sister can roll it.

My trusty old mountain bike:

Note the family of Swans! :D

Here's a slightly better shot. (http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q271/schnappsie/PICT0230.jpg)

"The engine..."

Be it for the over-cast weather or my camera in need of adjustment; the yellow has come out looking a little like sickly custard! In real life, its a vibrant but non-overpowering yellow.

Please excuse the odd angles in the last two. :rolleyes:

N.B. if any one lives near me and wants to hook up for some cycling (I also have a road bike), PM me. :)

Bike? Try bikes...I have 12 functioning bikes and 6 in various states of being built up or being torn down.

This is my pride and joy...

Oooops! I apologize...this is an XC thread. :(

doesnt matter, good to see the different bikes http://www.cycling.net.au/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I've got a Scott genius,the MC 50 is the baby in the range and it still came out with Avid single didget v's all the newer mod's have disk, but it gives me more than my money's worth.
Its light under 12 kilo's,and has decent spec components.
THE FEATURE I MOST Apreciate is the adjustable rear shock 3 modes and operates from a finger trigger lever,on the handlebar.It suits my riding perfectlly, climbing steep offroad trails in travle mode and and comming backdown as fast as i can in full sus mode.

I have an Apollo Enduro (from their raceline series).
I love it! And it's more than adequate for my needs.

What's up. my goal for urban biking is only to get physically in shape. Is this bike a good one for that?

Thanks.

I just got a Trek SU200 yesterday, first time on a bike in 15 years. Tonight I did 4 miles in 20 minutes for a first ride other then a quick ride up the street last night.

Hi

Any bike is a good bike for getting fit. If your riding is mainly in an urban environment then the bike you have is fine. Just keep pedling and you will soon find you are getting faster and your mile tmes will come down.
Good luck

my best friend:)
