    What have you been riding lately?

    This morning I dug out my Specialized Roll, aired the tires up and took her for a cruise . Such a smooth riding bike .

    What have you been riding lately?

    Rode my Rockhopper today that I converted to a 1X8 yesterday. The last new bike I’ve bought . When I picked it up , the bike shop guy told me if I raised the bars , I would mess up the geometry of the bike and it wouldn’t be ridable . Hahaha, showed him .

    Mountain bikes

    I took the “Vega” out for a spin this morning. Rode into town knowing I had two nice hills to get out of the neighborhood. The first one is lengthy with a good rise on top . I ended up in low gear , spinning up the hill at around 5.5mph . Nice ! Then it’s a right turn into the second hill...

    Originally I built this one as a single speed . I think it’s an old Univega frame I painted years ago . IIRC Had some wind the other day and between the wind , hills , and my age , I decided to build it into a hill climber . 1X8 with a 30 tooth chainring and a 11-34 cassette. Any hills I can’t...

    black bikes?

    I like your tag line . It fits me to a T . ”I love old bikes, mostly klunkers, beach cruiser and old MTB stuff. My happy place is tinkering on bikes in my garage, listening to some island music and chillin out.”

    black bikes?

    A couple of my black bikes . As usual, always a work in progress. My bikes are never finished . One with BMX bars has a two speed KT kickback hub I’m trying to get use to . Matching tire is on the way .

    Schwinn Cross bikes ,The original Hybrid

    I like the 1X8 gearing on my Crosscut so much , today I did the transformation on my Schwinn CrissCross . The CrossCut has a 34 tooth oval Narrow wide chainring with 11-30 cassette, the Crisscross got a 34 tooth oval narrow wide chainring , but with a 11-34 cassette, making the granny gear...

    Schwinn Cross bikes ,The original Hybrid

    I don’t see the need in having 21 or 24 speeds when I only use 5 or 6. It’s simplifying without going single speed . I love single speeds coaster brakes , but some of my riding ( and my old knees) need a little help .

    Schwinn Cross bikes ,The original Hybrid

    Upgraded my Crosscut today . Ever since I bought it ,over ten years ago , I’ve been trying to move the old beat up cage pedals from the cranks . I’ve ruined more wrenched trying to get them off and neither side has moved a micro . So I got to thinking , why not change out the cranks ? Then I can...
