I've got a few boards that I check compulsively, but this one is already creeping to the top of the list. ;)

Thanks for the welcome!

My Bianchi finally has a name. heh.

My hubby and I have started calling it the Frankenbike due to all of the stuff I keep adding to it. He says its also ugly now with everything, but I just like to be prepared. :P Recently we weighed it and I've added around 10 extra pounds of gear according to the scale. :eek: But I've got a _very_ loud refillable air horn, an HID light, bike pump, seat bag with tools, etc. etc. :D I think the scale is lying anyway. :p

He just laughs at me for carrying all that stuff. At least there isn't a kitchen sink on it. :rolleyes: At least not yet. :cool:

Ill have to post pics of my towing rack. It has a big cable hook and works well with the super low gearing on the mountain bike. Hardest part is getting started. It is really fun to see people's reactions to seeing a bike towing down the road. ;) I was inspired by going to cambodia. They pack 4 people or 400 lbs of cargo or whatever we would do with a truck, on singlespeeds. Soo, we should be able to at least match :rolleyes:

old thread but..

My new bike is named Seabiscuit - because he started at the bottom and was known for carrying really heavy jockeys!

"My Fu-gi has a first name, it's F-L-I-C-K-A...."

Here's me 'n Flicka at the Cinderella last Saturday....it was our first outing together as friends... ;) ;)

I named her Flicka because of how long I've been wanting a carbon. The boy in the book had wanted a horse of his own for a long time too. And, Flicka was black with a white star on her forehead....the bike's black with white detailing. Plus, I love love love horses, and the bike's my "steed", so it had to be a horse name. Black Beauty sounded a little bit corny (plus, Black Beauty was a male horse in the story). :D

What a GREAT pic ~ thanks so much for sharing. The green scenery looks wonderful. I guess NY should be looking like that in maybe a month. Also, great looking bike!
