Bobs get dirty!

[Aggie_Ama]

Welcome to the dirrrty side! DH has the Stumpy Comp and loves it, man you are lucky he test rode the expert (rental) but the budget in July was Comp. Can't wait to hear about your rides and bruises (LOL!). I went yesterday, came back with a bruised hip, I don't remember hitting anything?

BTW- You need bells. Seriously my bike doesn't have one and I am getting tired of scaring the bejeezus out of hikers. DH is getting one in his stocking, his racing buddies use them so it is okay to him now. And if you don't have one in those hydration packs, a first aid kit. We have needed to use ours on DH's bloodied finger (he slammed a tree in a tight turn).

Thanks Ama!

We'll definitely stock up on the first aid stuff.

Wish I could find a doughboy bell that would emit the doop-de-doop-de-doooooo that Poppin' Fresh does in the Pillsbury commercials. But that would probably scare the hikers even more. Or get me committed.

[Aggie_Ama]

That would be a great bell! DH wants something sleek like the little silver flat ones. I want something with personality, I saw a dragon one I liked. There are no style points when I am on the trail so my bike can be as goofy as I want.

You can get great little first aid kits for mtb that fit really well into your camelbak. DH got me one for a present when I first started mtb. Seems he could tell I would be falling off a lot.

those are a sweet couple of toys for fellow roadies-turned-over to the dark side. We did not go for the "partner" look.

[jobob]

Heh - I'm not big on the partner look either (although two of our road bikes are also identical. Oh well). We toyed with one of us getting the orange/brown frame, but in real life it's kind of garish.

I'm looking into accessories to make my bike more, um, distinctive.

Our mountain bikes are identical. Our road bikes use to be identical until Thom got hit. It's no biggie - really. Just means you both have good taste.

Now if you start matching all your clothes including shoes and helmets, I'll get worried.

Or tell them to get on a tandem. I often see tandem riders looking like twinsies.
