Here's mine, taking 5 against a tree in Camp Scholler up at Oshkosh a couple of years ago. I'm shopping for a new fatbike now...

what happened? Ti frames do not break, usually.

Bike was on top of a roof rack.....garage door....crimped headtube! Not mine originally.

kids get all the cool stuff these days...


For the g-kids, I was thinking of converting the cheap aluminum 24 in. atb from Target or wallymart. New bikes are under $100, old drop bars are usually available for nothing and a set of slicks for $40. Would be fun to get them involved on some easy organized rides and intro to road bikes.

I have this 1975 Motobecane Le Champion. I bought it new when I worked at the bike shop that sold it to me. I spent many hours riding the bike, and cleaned and greased it every year I rode it. Today, the wheels turn like new. I schlepped it around to all the houses, states, wherever I lived. It's in great condition, all original, have a second set of wheels to go with it, along with a size 11 set of vintage (can't believe stuff I own are vintage) Eddy Merckx Adidas leather bike shoes, and a set of tools that I bought back in the day. Looking for offers, can ship USA of course. PM me if interested.

That's cool! I've never seen a Bianchi BMX before. But I am curious, where are the "minimal insertion" lines on that stem and post?!

^^^hilarious. Having that would tempt me to ram the door's of ruthless drivers. The disc and derailleur is killer.
