Thank you. Those are Salsa, Bell Lap, Moto-Ace (too many names). They'll be going up for sale soon. Just not that comfy on my arthritic wrists.

Going to be having a blast on her this long weekend. Haven't had a chance to do a lot of back to back riding days lately.

Almost sold this bike, last minute I ended up not doing it but decided that I am going to ride it more which means I have been taking it EVERYWHERE. Road and gravel, no problem. I can't bomb down descents like I can on the rawland with 50mm tires but this bike is awesome when the ride has half gravel, half road.

Finished building this up just in time for winter. Hopefully I'll be able to tackle the Old Croton Aquedect before it snows.



For the riding I do, Hutchinson's Sector tires are the ideal combo of fast rolling yet cush. Totally worth building a bike around.

LOVE the OCA. Those tires seem perfect for it. I have a disc wheelset with Sectors mounted just waiting for my Gaulzetti cross bike to get delivered (should be some time in the next couple months) so I can get some winter road (and off road) miles on it. That bike is awesome and would fit me, to boot!

I put some Enve M50 rims on my Mosaic XT1. There is a noticeable differences in stability, acceleration, and climbing improvement compared the HED Belgiums I previously was riding. I plan to lose the decals soon which are a bit much in my opinion.

Thank you. The Enve M50 are very good for climbing. I definitely notice that I acelerate and climb faster with them compared to the HED Belguims I had. I would give the Reynolds ATRs a look at too as they are a little cheaper.

Marin County (just north of San Francisco) on Coastal View and Miwok trails.
