Bob - I met and got to know Ian Farrier. In addition to owning the Sprint 750 which hull and float wise is a Farrier design, I worked with Ian on upgrading our boat with a composite rudder and rudder head he produced. He was a pioneer and genius of yacht design with his contribution of making the foldable trimaran concept a reality.
Neil - 29” wheels rule! Once you ride a technical cross country trail with them, there’s no going back to 27” wheels. Y’all have a safe and happy 4th.

By the way my wife and I took our bikes in for adjustments the other day. I got to compare my 2019 Marlin 7 next to a brand new 2021 Marlin 7 - which now comes standard with a 1x10. Same size frame too, but I think it still makes sense to upgrade components. Shimano just came out with a Deore level 1x12 groupset (32t crank/10-51t cassette) that has me intrigued. I need to crunch the numbers regarding gearing ratios on their respective top gears. By the way right I have to ride slower so that my wife can keep pace on her Trek FX2. She bonked the other day is 95 degree heat. I need to get her a Camelback like mine.

i havent road for a couple years, but seen a 6 speed auto bike on craiglist, i was curious as to what it was, i went to see it, it was a CSA 6 speed auto shifter for $20, i had to buy it, new tires and just needed cleaned up, it actually does a good job shifting by itself depending how fast you go

Bikes have always been my main mode of transport. I was into the road scene for a few years, but back then I was a 63kg, 6'0 racing snake. Now I'm 10kg heavier and my old jerseys no longer fit. Sold my old carbon Tarmac and got a steel-framed Surly with disc brakes, drop bars and fat (frank) tyres. It doesn't climb like my old Spesh, but it's much more planted on the descents. It's a very practical commuting bike.
I also have a singlespeed that I built around an old Falcon frame a few years ago. I used to enjoy fixing up old bikes, but I got tired of having old bike parts, frames and groupsets lying around the place. So I sold all my old parts and gave my tools away to a local bicycle collective. I slightly regret that now as I quite fancy building up a Soma Wolverine. |

I used to be a semi-serious recreational bike racer in the early 90’s. I raced NORBA Sport Class and Cat IV on the road but hadn’t really ridden in close to 20 years until March.
I sold my old mountain bike and road bike and bought a new Specialized Fuse Comp. I ride now almost every day. We have a great mountain bike park nearby and I ride my bike on back roads to get there (5 miles each way). Lately I’ve been riding about 13 miles on the single track to go with the 10 miles on the road. I’ve gotten a lot faster and lost 20 pounds. I’d like to lose about 30 more but I’m having fun and feel great.

My wife got me a sport camera for my birthday so I’ve been motivated to go klunking more. I’ve gone three times this week. I blew my rear inner tube but was able to order a replacement from Amazon and was back out there 2 days later.

That looks like a fun trail. You should check into going tubeless. Flats will be a thing of the past.

THAT got my attention. We have a pair of SUN EZ-3 recumbent tricycles used for riding paved trails by the river, in parks, and around the neighborhood. There are a lot of goat heads in our area (think 3/8" diameter kids "jacks" but botanical) so I swap out at least a dozen tubes each year. Kevlar belted tires and Slime sealant inside the tubes to stop punctures slows it down some, but I would love a solid tire. Our trikes take 20" x 1.5" all around. Our local bike shop has foam filler inner tubes for mountain bikes, but nothing for our tire size. Any ideas?

I’ve always enjoyed cycling but haven’t ridden at all in recent years due to severe and recurrent laziness. Also, where I live, the heat gets to be too much in the summer, and I can’t seem to organize my time to get out and ride when the weather’s more reasonable. About 20 years ago, I used to do up to 50 kilometers round trip out in the country, which isn’t all that much, but it gave me a good workout. I bought my ride about 20 years ago. It’s noticeably heavier than most other bikes, although the weight only really bothers me when I’m carrying it up several flights of stairs. I hope to be back in the saddle again within a month, as soon as it cools off.
Actually, the real reason for my post is not to brag about my heavy bike and lazy life, but to remind you all that there’s a history of guitarists acting on impluse, taking someone else’s bike for a spin, falling down, breaking bones (forearm, elbow, wrist, etc.) and experiencing playing limitations thereafter. Cycling is a lot of fun and makes you feel like a kid again, but there’s a very real risk of guitar-threatening injury. So, be careful kids!!!

Bike have disappeared from most stores around here. Absent at garage sales as well. Get a good lock.
I started riding again for the exercise after many years, and try to ride early and one quiet residential streets. There're a lot of hostile drivers out there. |
