Just wondering if anyone here is into mountain bikes? I am no avid biking expert or cyclist but do enjoy the every now and again bike treck or offroad adventure 8) I own a Bridgestone MB3 with Rockshoxs up front and usually get stopped by someone who is a BOB member or just in love with the Bridgestone bike line that is no longer made. 8)

I used to, before i took this job back in 2000. I own a Cannondale killer V500. I stopped riding when this job took all the energy out of me. :( I miss it alot, but i'm out of shape now and i doubt i could pick it back up. :( :( :(

Tony, how do you like the "LEFTY" set up that Cannondale has done, I was thinking about doing that to mine possibly.

I currently ride an 08 Schwinn Peloton, and an 05 Giant NRS (primary).


I don't ride as much as I did 2-8 years ago, but I plan on getting back into it as much as possible (after the move).


BTW, I'm a bicycle mechanic as my main job.. so any questions or parts help, just ask.

I have two Specialized RockHopper Comps (one circa 1992 and one from 2005) that I like to take on any single-track I can find. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of single-track at the beach, so most of my riding locally is done on my Electra Coaster (beach cruiser).
