the what did you ride this weekend thread resurrected

[bigman]

It's been a while - defective tire and the chatter about how nice gravel kings are ....
this bike has been redone w 5800, VO brakes and an SP dyno hub - laced to tb14's. Gravel kings are fantastic at least for the first 50 miles - compared to other supple tires these are a bargain.

There is just something about a classic steel frame with deep carbon wheels <3

(where's the heart smily??)

I did something different, rode a mountain bike, on an actual trail, which I haven't done for probably seven or eight years. Didn't take a camera so generic pic attached. A Rocky Mountain Growler 50, 27.5+ hardtail - my LBS's demo bike. Had so much fun I bought a Growler 40 today :banana:

My better half and I did a really nice ride to falls lake marina on the ancient beast. We are both getting a bit of fitness back that started with our trip with Santana Adventures at the end of September. The trip riding along the Elbe river thru Germany was a hoot! Just trying to keep the engines going now.

It's my local shop's first frame- the City+County Road One (http://cityandcountybicycle.com/road-one/)

My only riding lately has been to various fields to retrieve tractors pulling wagonloads of soybeans. Been riding this old GT, which I toss in the wagons on the return trip.

More photos of just the bike please !

Incidently, I had the Deda Murex stem on there, but it was too flexy for me. Kind of just didn't look right on the classic build. I swapped it out for a Factory 5 Titan. That and the saddle are the only non-Italian bits on there.

Photos? Here you go:

Loving the Botecchia and Colnago above. Classic steel at it's finest!!

Nothing rides like it. Carbon is dead to me!

Finally got this together enough to ride AND get it to some trails that aren't half destroyed. I love the trails at Balm Boyette and I love this bike. And my cell phone camera sucks.
