I don't usually take many pictures while I'm riding because I hate stopping and my phone camera kinda sucks, but I did take a few today. Here's some more I've taken over a few years of riding. My first bike is in some of them but it's currently skeletal in the basement, having been cannibalized for its drivetrain and other bits when I redid the Cannondale earlier this year. There was a wedding up in Wolfeboro, NH and instead of talk to people in the morning, I went for a bike ride. I've done the Hub On Wheels ride twice and riding down an empty Storrow Drive in the beginning section is a blast. Once you get through the crowds it's just a straightforward speedway before you get to ride through some nice roads and paths around the city of Boston. Never knew about most of them and it's a good time. Couple photos from somewhere in northeastern MA. Sometimes you learn things while you're on a ride. I didn't know there were buffalo in MA but here they are, on a farm. Rode up Mt. Wachusett with a friend. This was before the new drivetrain but I just like this shot of the bike. Rode with my brother recently and he managed to get an action shot of me. Bask in the glory of my fat rear end and thick calves. Stayed up on the Pemigewasset River in NH for a weekend and, you guessed it, went for a bike ride. The road in the last few pictures was signed "Road not maintained - Travel at own risk" and they weren't kidding. The pictures make it look alright but a normal sedan wouldn't have made it through some sections. Not the best surface for carbon wheels and the amazing sidewalls of GP4k2 tires but I made it. Kimbo and I did a double-metric century a couple years ago and, while I wasn't as strong as I had hoped to be, it was still a great time. He's a cool dude and I lust after that bike. I believe this picture breaks all the rules except for the lack of reflectors.

Went for one of my regular loops today but decided to take it a little easier and take more pictures. I did some tinkering and cleaning last night so why not document it? BeastPussy fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Aug 8, 2020 |

I think your bike looks really sharp and I'd like a full driveside photo please.

I got a '98 that's a little small for me that I was using as a commuter for a couple years with slick tires, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. Sorry if you posted upthread about it already Quick answer: he converted it to a fat tire drop bar bike and it rules. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3933902&userid=33555

Don't take this the wrong way but I hate how great your pictures are because they make me jealous every time.

They aren't my thing, but an old bike NIB & never ridden is very cool.

If this was my size I'd consider giving my current CAAD10 a sibling asap. Love this bike.
