I know they're here, but whoooo?
I used to be SUPER into bikes.
i guess for giggles..
Bikes I've owned: (pics were googled until the trek and the mongoose and the first schwinn aluminum comp, that's a pic i printed up years ago after i took the pic with a digital camera)
PREVIOUSLY RIDDEN - STILL OWNED
1:
1980's schwinn duro (16"?)
(couldn't find pictures on the net)
2:
1990's red schwinn z-flight 6spd (20")
3:
1990's purple / gray huffy titanium 10spd (26") - was mom's bike , in between bikes I rode that.. has some pimp ass hawaiian blue fenders. Will clean up and take pics soon to add to thread. still in original shape.)
4:
1970's? 80's? chrome / blue ross piranha classic bmx bike

(couldn't find pictures on the net)
6:
late 90's early 00's huffy beach cruiser, 12 speed.. cannot remember model.

7:
schwinn aluminum comp (sorry about quality. it's a picture i just took of a picture)
8:
Schwinn aluminum comp facelifted(like the last one but the facelifted version.. there were checkered flags where the black stripes were, thicker walled rims, different stock tires. otherwise identical)
BACK TO THE STILL OWNED
10:
kent Stow-a-way (camping bike , fit easily in my parents car .. more easily than a 26" mtb)
(no pictures able to be found)
11:
2003 Mongoose Rockadile AL
FIRST PICTURE IS ONE OFF THE INTERNET TO SHOW STOCK FORM BEFORE I MODIFIED IT
I got this bike as a birthday present in .. 2003 I believe. What I did with it was buy parts with my birthday money from that year. I bought:
Hayes HMX 1 Mechanical disc brakes with hd calipers and pads
shimano hollowtech crank / high performance heavy duty bottom bearing / avenir pedals
serfas gel seat with cutout to relieve pressure on that one area.
sunlite rhynolite alloy dual wall 1.5" rims with shimano disc hubs
geax atb tires with green walls
easton monkey bars
shimano deore xt / lx componentry (derailleurs/rapidfire shift kit and brake lever set)
kevlar lined braking and shifting cable
aaaand i think... that's it. i might be missing one or two small things.. here's a picture of what it looked like in august of 2006, it still looks the same. haven't touched it.
12:
1994? trek 830 or 850.. I cannot remember. I found it in the garbage. these bikes retailed for $300+ when new, even back then. the guy was THROWING IT AWAY. I brought it home, tore all the parts off.. stripped frame down to bare chromoly tubing. primed, painted, cleared. built back up using parts that came off the mongoose when i upgraded all the parts
got the Trek / VW Racing team stickers at a 25 mile event I did back in '05 in Waukesha, WI.
so.. who else?
I really want to get back into riding. I got my license and began getting more into cars and way out of bikes. I still know a decent amount though
