Bike Pics

[smurfalicious]

Okay, took my girls over to mom's to make use of her digital camera so please excuse the fact that these pictures are in the living room. It's cold in the garage, these girls are house cats now. Wait, how does the Surly keep becoming a girl, it's not even built. Hmmm...

Anyway, this is my beloved Pony, she's an '04 Gary Fisher Big Sur GS for which I take all kinds of greif. "You ride a *Fisher*!?" Bah, I bought the bike that *I* felt good on, not the one that was supposed to be cool. My bad.



This is my idea of sick and wrong entertainment. I've been staring at these at Wal-Mart since I bought the poor girl. It was only a matter of time before I bought them. If they don't get caught in anything, I'm *so* racing with those on. Gawd, can yall imagine those poor serious racer boys when I unload Pony sporting those? Ah yes, who knew $2.68 could provide so much entertainment, or look so hot with a carbon bar?



Oh wait, is this what yall wanted to see? Baby pictures? A'ight, here's the Surly singlespeed. Not pictured is her Avid Single Digit 3 brakes because those are on Pony. Pony pitched a hissy fit when she found out baby got a set of Single Digit 7s, so I told Pony they could trade. Oh come on, like you'd tell *your* first born no!



Yep, I'm a proud momma. Once I sell some unused toys to buy the Allez Comp, my family will be complete, and my bike rack full. I'll have to boot my roommate and start storing them in his room.

hee hee hee, i LOVE those!! there's a guy from Mizzou that races with pink streamers! i think it's hilarious... and would love to get some myself, if anything just to see the looks on my teammates' faces-- they whine about how silly they are all the time perhaps i'll be making a wal-mart run....

Hey Jody -
Here are some close-up shots of my Peter Mooney bike - at your request! Unfortunately the lighting really doesn't do the color justice - it's a really pretty lavendar / purple!

Wow Denise,
That is gorgeous! What a beautiful bike and I love the color. Peter certainly does nice work. I would love to have a custom built. Hmmmm. Something to ponder on these long New England winter nights. Thanks for the pics.

This is a pic I took of Thom on Mount Diablo a couple of weeks ago. We have the same mountain bike - except I have a Terry Butterfly on mine. He kept the stock saddle.

So those are our new mountain bikes. We're having a blast - other than my little crash 4 weeks ago.

we won't ask how you did it


PS, Denise, your bike is beautiful! I love the outlined lugs. Sometimes they can be overdone but yours look just right!

Jo-

My hand and wrist are nearly recovered. FINALLY! It's nice to be able to pick up my coffee cup and not wince in pain.

Once again - I'm laughing hilariously at work - so hard I'm crying and the guys think I'm nuts. I LOVE those streamers but the pinwheels took the cake!........you have GOT to take pixs of ppls faces when you unload that bike to race! God bless a sense of humour!

Here is my Road bike. Her name is Carmen (think the lady with fruit on her head. The color is Kandy Mango (not the blue you see here)and I love her.

This is my first bike. She is a Giant Sedona DX in white and sandstone. Her name is cloud. I use her to do errands around town and for rail to trail stuff. Sadly, she may be traded in for a Mtn bike before I try the Michigander next July.


hmmmm well, I will post her as soon as I can figure it out!

In the road riding academy I took a few months ago, one of the other students had a Bianchi just like yours.

As snapdragen and I were ohh-ing and ahh-ing over it, someone else mentioned "that's a nice orange", and snapdragen and I both blurted out "that's not orange, that's Kandy Mango!" The owner of the bike was a bit surprised and amused that we would know the actual name of the color ... so thanks for the scoop, Barb

Sweet bike, btw, it was nice to see it in person !
