• Posted in thread: Opinion... when do you stop being a beginner? on 09/28/2011 at 5:00AM
  The fast pace that new equipment and technology is applied to cycling pretty much makes everyone a newbie
  in some form or another. I finally gave up the pursuit of the perfect ride and now just ride w...

  I bought an older Murray Contour three speed with S/A hub that was in mint condition. All I needed to do
  is dust it off, adjust the shift and brake, and put on new tires. Now, of course that bike isn'...

• Posted in thread: Should We Shave Our Legs? on 09/19/2011 at 10:28AM
  One time an old girlfriend and I shaved everything off and it was very very good, for about 2 days.....I
  didn't bike back then.

  It was worth a try and we all now know that the single point of mounting at the front, especially a round
  mount to your seat post, is inherently unstable. Might work fine if it was welded...

• Posted in thread: Bar ends...ON A HYBRID??? on 09/16/2011 at 11:39AM

  straighter at times. They keep me away from immediate use of the brakes and shifters so I typically only...

• Posted in thread: Hybrid Road Bike on 09/16/2011 at 11:28AM
  Schwinnman -I love your description of a tourist road bike hybrid. I think we get so focused on what kind
  of bike it is that we forget that what we really want is something that we can comfortably rid...

• Posted in thread: Hybrid trail/road bike??? on 09/16/2011 at 11:09AM
  You will find that most of the dedicated road bikes have tires that are too skinny to use on many of the
  rails to trails with fine chat covering them. I would go with no less than a 32 with a 38 being...

• Posted in thread: Cannondale Quick 4 vs Cannondale Badboy vs Trek 7.4 vs Specialized Sirrus Elite on 09/16/2011 at 10:50AM
  I agree that the Quick line is pretty much a no fail bike decision. My Q3 just keeps going through thick
  and thin. The Bad Boy is interesting but the single blade fork has some attendant maintenance i...

• Posted in thread: Clueless newbie... help? on 09/16/2011 at 10:29AM
  I've been riding a Quick 3 for several years now and while it doesn't keep up with the lighter road bikes
  that is more a function of the engine than the machine. I ride casually on rail trails and aro...
