Nice bike Mike....I have been a hardcore mountain bike rider since I was a kid. I will have to post some pics of my bikes this weekend. I am rocking a Cannondale hardtale and a Iron Horse full suspension. Nice Specialized. I have yet to find a fellow member in NC that rides so I have been doing my trips solo.

Very nice! I actually just started mountain biking, so this whole biking scene has been news to me but I'm learning a lot! And wow when I first saw that prices I started to cry. This, as I'm sure you know, was one of the very low entry model bikes, which start at around half a grand. The decent one are all at least 1,500 or more! (Think about all the car mods )

<--Trek and Cannondale rider here!
Nice! How often do you ride? I'm def. down for a ride if it's not too far.

I opened this thread thinking i was going to see some type of european vehicle. Nice trick!



While you may be spending less on gas with this new means of transportation, you'll probably spend more on food due to the calories burned.

Fender is getting repainted, hood's fine just looks weird without fenders. I was just thinking, this is the perfect time to do a fender brace if people are into chassis stiffening upgrades!

Hah, you have a valid point!

I did pick up a little euro beater. It's a 91 BMW 325i. (E30)

Nice Ride. I have an old Specialized S-Works, hardtail put together with different Shimano XT/XTR components. Your bike goes nicely with your old orange vinyl mirror covers. LOL.

That would be awesome! I was looking at some J's Racing fender-braces for the TSX and been thinking of looking for some for the TL.
You should do it =o

Funny Jack!! I would love to see a picture of you riding that bike in your hood.

Mike, the mountainbike business is huge and it cost big dollars to ride. Specalized makes a great bike and it looks like a great bike you have there.

Here is my 2006 Iron Horse MKIII Expert. It is a bike that is used often here in NC. Too bad my lazy ass local Acurazine members aren't riding. I could have bought two ATLP exhausts for the price of this bike. You want to play, you got to pay....Come on out to NC and ride




Clipless petals FTW!!!

Mountain biking is good stuff. Currently on a 2005 Iron Horse Hollow Point Team. Don't have any shots of it yet...Looking for a more free ride oriented bike though. I'm a little to nuts for an XC bike.

I am big into mtn biking. I currently ride an 08 Cannondale Rush 4. I also have a Giant OCR 2 road bike. My previous bikes include: K2 Tirade 5.0, Schwinn Straight 6, Schwinn Homegrown Pro, Schwinn Moab 3, Zoo Pitbull (ridden for mtn bike trials....man I miss riding that bike). I have had a few others but I cant remember at the moment. I will post pics as I come across them.
