Ah yes, I remember when you recently got that bike painted yellow!Originally Posted by Trek420
None of our bikes are straight
They are the following, Trek's bikes:
Mondonico Futura Legero - the custom Italian road bike
Motobecane Mixte - converted to a freewheel by Chris & the guys of Robinson Wheelworks (hi Chris!)
GT Outpost trail - at least 20 years old, my commutermobile, powdercoated bright yellowactually, these are all Robinson builds.
My fave of yours is the Motobecane....what a beauty!
Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong- I think I actually remember on the forum here over the past two years when you got each one of these four bikes! -I certainly do remember when you nabbed that yummy Waterford!Knott:
Waterford X12 cross bike - beautiful gold bike, purchased right here from a TE'er.
Surly Cross Check - utility bike with 'stache bars (see the "show me your commuter-bike" thread) and now
Giant RS940 soon to be powercoated a deep luscious red.
part ownership of a Kona smoke soon to be outgrown by her son.
But then that leaves the question...what were you riding before these 4 bikes??

So Knot- is Cedar going to live over at Trek's for when you are visiting?
Hmmm...next thing you know you'll be keeping a toothbrush over there too!

Yup! Bikes are so much more important than toothbrushes.... s'pose I should go get a toothbrush one of these days. (to clean the bike with, right?)

The grips are Dimension grips. They aren't real leather (I don't think so, anyway... I don't have the bike here in Seattle to check) Very very very comfortable, I like them a lot! Much more comfy than grips I've had on my Kona bikes.
I just can't get over how great the Nitto All-Rounder bars are, too. With the Dimension grips on the All-Rounders, it's just blissful."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
