I have a Brodie Force. Sweet Canadian made bikes IMHO :) Have not had too much energy to hit the trails yet but have been out on the streets.

Nice bike, who's it made by???

Not as much anymore, was a very avid bike rider till two years ago when I had a back injury. still ride my Ironhorse team Hollowpoint, but mostly with my kids no more wicked california single track for me! I cant risk falling as my back is better but not perfect. I am now an avid road cyclist , riding a Specialized Allez comp. Worker

Can't have too many bikes or knives. I love my bikes but the single speed is probably the most fun per dollar. I don't have major climbs here in FL though.

Figures a Californian would choose a lefty ;)

When I worked at a bike shop I used my emplyee discount to build my own bike.
I worked around a Klein Fervor frame to build a fine mtb with a weight under 11kg. Two sets of tires, one for the road and one offroad.
I got lucky to find a nice wtb hub for my rear tire when I was on holiday in San Francisco. :)
The best ride I ever had was the Adrenalino downhill when I was at the Garda lake in Italy. :D

Hey I take offense to that, theres still some of us holdouts in the P.R.K. fighting the good fight. Now if Alnold could get this redistricing thing to fly we'd get somewhere.
Here in Kali you can't beat the weather and the trails. I love surfing and snow-sking in the same day.

Strangely enough, I actually took my bike, a Muddy Fox Mega, off the garage wall a few months ago, where it has hung for the last 4 years!!

My son got his new bike for his birthday and wanted to do something more adventurous because he now had suspension!!! :cool:

I certainly found it difficult to keep up with that eight year old! :eek: Not so much speed, but man, they have NO FEAR!!! ;)

I've got a '99 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp, and bought a '05 Cannondale Prophet 800 in the Spring. The switch to F/S was SCHWEEETT.

I bought a 4500 series Trek earlier this summer to replace my 6 year old Diamondback.

My bike is a Klein Attitude Race. blue color. with shimano XT and some XTR parts. Wheels are Mavic Crossmax XL (Love these wheels).

It's the best bike i've ever been on for climbing. Changed the suspension front fork to a non-suspension one.

Without the suspension the bike is steering razorsharp :D (which reminds me why I visit this forum once in a while :p

Greetings,

Crafft.
