What have you been riding lately?

Rode to an old stone prison located in inner Melbourne on my Panther after fitting a 95 springer and stem to it. I was surprised the fork doesn’t bounce that much when standing on the pedals and suspect the spring must be quite stiff.

Pentridge Prison closed in 1997 after operating for almost 150 years and has been redeveloped to include hundreds of apartments, townhouses as well as a cinema, cafes, stores and hotel.

Spent the afternoon on my new Mongoose muscle bike yesterday.
You can see Pikes Peak in the distance above the sissy bar.

Kinda looks like Mt. Meeker and Long's Peak to me

I've been riding the John Player Special lately.

Is the chain a little loose? Looks like there's a bit of slack on the top

Yeah, gonna get it in the stand before I ride it again. I did grind down the beartrap teeth on the bottom of the pedals. They kept biting me.

I have no idea how "Pikes" Peak made it in there. Good catch & thanks for the correction.

To be failr, we *can* see Pike's Peak on clear days around here. I've seen it from the Wyoming border before. We live in a really cool place. Though windy, I rode around on my chrome fixed gear a bit yesterday.

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

We do live in a great place! Still trying to figure out how I inserted Pike's Peak in place of Long's Peak....

I usually blame Prop 64 for things such as this.

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

I typically don't have that problem. Was in a rush & thinking of maybe 100 other things while posting....

It isn't easy being me.

Put on some new bars and went old school brakes on the Orge

 

[MattiThundrrr]

anyone else riding their Winter Build Off Bike?

Until the wheels fall off.

Almost literally. Back wheel came loose, had to pedal home without rear brake to keep pads from rubbing.

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

That's awesome & horrifying at the same time @MattiThundrrr !!

I know you're excited to ride it but PLEASE make sure to torque your fasteners(thought I was going to say nuts, didn't you?) before riding.

Glad you're safe & have a new bike to ride!

I put on new rear pads and rode it to the "Posty" (as my daughter calls it) to bed them in. This is my race bike.

White Industries cranksets are such a WIN. Good to see you swing through.

Thanks! It had drop bars when I got it. I swapped the bars and added the fenders.

They are so smooth.
