Road:
2002ish Torrelli Corsa Strada steel frame
Ultegra components, about 19 lbs
Given to me for free by an uncle because it had two flats and a layer of dust
Highly recommended if you live somewhere flat. No low gears for hill climbs. Or maybe I’m weak.
Mountain:
2008 Jamis Dakar 26er full suspension
SRAM X9 components, RockShox XC30, 34 lbs
Paid $300 from Craigslist 3? years ago
OK bike but a little heavy and rear shock has ovaled out the bolt hole, so it’s a little loose. Plus the rear shock pogos a bit even at maximum air pressure. Or maybe I’m fat at 195lbs.
Mountain for DW:
2005 Giant Rincon
Alivio components, elastomer fork, cushy seat, police style road tires, 32lbs
Paid $400 in 2005
Decent bike, but rarely ridden. Threatening to sell, but too sad to follow through.
Kid’s bike 1:
Wooden strider bike from Amazon.
No brakes or drivetrain
Seems like a great concept to learn balance, but kid was never a fan.
Seat was too uncomfortable to get around the block.
Paid about $50 two years ago. Threatening to sell.
Kids bike 2:
Steel 16” BMX style, red
Custom plastic webbed seat, blue
Handlebars pulled way back
Seat as low as it goes
Kid likes this much more, even though it weighs more than some adult bikes!
Paid $15 for bike at thrift store, $6 for seat
Project bike:
1998? Raleigh M60 mountain bike
Shitty RST elastomer fork that barely works, STX/Alivio, maybe 29 lbs?
Fixing up for my dad
Replacing deteriorated rubber grip shifters with new Alivio triggers ($15 fix!)
Thinking about putting a $50-100 off-brand fork on it, but hard to make such an investment in a 20y/o bike.
