What trays are those? I am still using Coors Classic trays to date how old my rack is.

Haha, they are called the Euro pitchfork made by Rockymounts. Plenty of colors to choose from.

New Sworks Tarmac Torch I just built with etap! The bike changes color at 72F from bright orange to bright yellow. This is when it's started to turn. Going to get close to 100miles in the saddle tomorrow"|

Oh cool. Heard about Deer Creek and Lookout for sure and they're definitely on my to-do list (along with Mt Evans). Are you on Strava? I'll give you another follow if so :)

Yeah I'm on Strava, I need to update my garmin so I can upload my rides but it hasn't been a priority as of lately. I'm working on the e30, head is going to a machine shop and the transmission and transfer case are both coming out for reseal, clutch/ 8lb flywheel, short shifter/ dssr. I should probably start a build thread. Should do a lot of things...

I'm by the foothills area, so generally I spent time in deer creek on high grade, out and back is 48 miles to high grade and about 2800 ascent. The "city view loop in deer creek is a great ride. Other climbs I enjoy are lookout mountain and around conifer and then in evergreen withers gulch and mt Evans. Also lately I've done a fair amount of endurance mountain biking in evergreen and it's a great place for that. also when I do rides on my TT bike I usually stick around chatfield. Lots of great places to ride. I definitely want to drive somewhere I've never ridden this summer and get lost. That is once I get the damn cylinder head buttoned up on my e30!

^^^ Ooh, nice :)

What are your favorite rides out in that area? I visit my parents out there a couple times a year.

Sweet. Look at all those boxes! That's a bit daunting.

I tend to avoid this thread, since the last time I came here to show off my own personal bike I was told by an internet expert that I had chosen the wrong gear ratio for my intended purpose.

Here's a pic of my temporary workbench where I'll be building about 130 DH and enduro specific bikes (most pictured in boxes in the background) with one of my buddies for a rental fleet at a well known bike park. After that I'll be re-opening the shop I manage for another company, at the same resort, where we perform a full suite of repairs on guests personal equipment.

I'm ready for DH season, who else likes riding chair lifts?

Just picked up a 2013 Caad10 3 Ultegra this weekend. Original owner put < 50mi on it and then it sat.

2017 Pivot Mach 429 SL set up with a 27.5+ wheelset. This thing rips! My favorite bike so far.

Ive ridden that bike and I think the same! Love the 27.5 plus. On another note I'm building a 2017 Sworks Tarmac Torch. It was made specially for the rio Olympics and it changes to a yellow with heat above 71F or 22C. It doesn't say Sworks on it because rule #40 requiring it to say only specialized for appeal to the general public.

Bike cognoscenti, question:

I am thinking about buying a 1983 Hutch 20" frame. I am wondering if the discoloration on the seat tube just below the seat stays is surface rust or something more sinister, like deep rust. Thoughts? Should I stay away from this frame?

I need to get a new bike. I am getting fat sitting at my desk all day at work.

Anybody want to trade a gaming PC or components for a good road bike?
