About 25 pounds, or 10 pounds less than my ex-hybrid. It's a steel frame with carbon fork.

The 2nd pic, from the front, looks like it's alive. With shiny eyes.

That is pretty sweet lookin', Nicole! How's it ride? And what kind of tires have you got on it? Next to lube, tires are becoming my favorite bike toy, ahem, accessory

MD Very nice, why did you get a flat bar road bike instead of a drop down??? The reason I am asking is because I've been looking at road bikes and one LBS was pitching the Giant FCR instead of the drop down. I am 51 and was thinking the flat bar might be the thing for me. Nancy

Nice! I wish I didn't live 25 miles away from work so I could commute. I am thinking about Hybrid commuting- bus & ride. Anyway... Craigslist rocks!!

It's stock with 28c Vittoria Zaffiro semi-slicks. I'm pretty sure the rims will take 32's so I bought a pair of WTB All-Terrainosaurus tires for the trail. What do you have on yours for trails?I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I've got a set of Kenda Kwik 30c's for dirt/mud, and I just picked up a set of Continental City Ride 32c's for smooth surfaces. I haven't quite gotten to the point of buying slicks yet. Originally Posted by MDHillSlug
