Post pics of your bike thread

I’m better at spotting bikes than riders on the trails. Riding glasses and helmets are like superhero disguises, they befuddle me. What do you ride?

ELITE water bottle cage! I have the same one (across all my bikes actually)

Does the frame obligate you to ALWAYS use SRAM Rival? :p

I love the raw look.

God, I hope not… lol.
Seriously though, Sram has a pretty good grassroots racing program and seems to support the racers pretty well. Although I just got an email from Ritchey about their grassroots frame program….

Hello —

Recently, I solicited advice about my next bike purchase.

Well, I got it, put it together and took it out for a spin this morning. Here it is:

Bonus points for anyone who knows where this photo was taken without peeking at Strava.

And here’s what it looked like it when it arrived and I put it together! Okay, so my husband helped with two parts. Be impressed, I was.

I think I saw Dirt and someone (another Kill Bill participant?) warming up on the W&OD eastbound in Vienna about 7:30 a.m. while I was out on my inaugural ride.

Kudos on the build, bike looks great. I didn’t check Strava yet but my guess is the CCT at the northern end of Lake Accotink.

Nice bike! Was the picture taken by the trail that connects Electric Ave (near Navy Federal) to the W&OD?

[eminva]

JimK is right, the little connector trail between Electric and the W&OD. Wanted to see how it behaved in gravel without going too far from home.

It was the “no smoking” sign that gave away the location.

I didn’t see your post in time; that little trail was part of my daily commute for 6 years!

Some Native Americans have spirit animals. Tweed has a Spirit Truck.

Some people have a sparkle bike, some people have a yellow reflective tape bike . . .

(This is my 40 year old bike from childhood, still in my parents’ cellar. Just pump up tires and go!)
