Getting to Know You...Question #8...

[wonderturtle]

only one mountain bike - a 2004 bright yellow HARO.

still have my BMX bike - Profile frame, Mongoose rims, GT hubs, etc.

have a Peewee Herman like beach cruiser

and my old Bridgestone MB-4 in pieces that I intend to rebuild one of these years.

I raced a Hutch (actually had 2) for years back in the 80's. Great frames. I'd love to see the build on that thing when you get it done.

Its going to be a while. Friday nights were BMX racing nights when I was a little kid. Some of my favorite childhood memories were piling into the family van, usually with a bunch of my older brother's friends from the neighborhood and heading to the Oakland BMX track. Unfortunately it closed down around 1986 or 87. My brother rocked a Hutch, which I got as a hand-me down/ upgrade from my Diamondback Viper around 1988. I sold it for $50 when I got my license and regretted it ever since.

I picked up the frame a few years ago when I was still in school, and I haven't had the time to find parts, etc.

First road bike coming soon . . . what do you recommend?

i heard that those bikes that require you to pedal all the time are cool.

What's in your quiver?

In other words, describe the bikes you currently own.

Let's keep the descriptions relatively generic. I don't need a complete list of specs. Just give me enough that I can picture it in my head.

BTW, if you can't ride it than it doesn't count. I don't want to hear about everyone's 5 year old Frankenbike project that has never been completed. :rofl:
