Thread: Cycling/Cyclers on L4P?

So we got any Mountainbikers here on L4P????

Though some of you might like to see this short clip I made today. Im hoping to be able to get a lot more videos uploaded to my youtube channel about my training/racing/life as an elite triathlete so please subscribe to be kept updated.

I have a Cervelo Soloist but haven't ridden in a while... Really should get back into it.

From this mornings race

So, while in pittsburgh this week, I've decided it is time to get back into biking I was pretty into it throughout highschool I sold most of my stuff, including my good bike(mercier) but I dug around in my basement and found a schwinn frame + wheels, also a carbon fiber fork from something with a cane creek head set, if I can piece it all together I'm going to ship it down to florida and ride some. I hope I can still fit into my clothes. haha

So as it turns out I did have the technology! And I was able to build something from the scraps in my parents basement. it is an aluminum schwinn frame, wheels and hardware are from my dads schwinn/my old mercier the fork is an oclv, not sure why we had it, and I had some green grip tape lying around. If I can get really into riding again I'll have to pick up something that I didn't have to put together with a hammer from old spare parts. Also the pedals are shimano ultegra also had them on my mercier. Picture:



EDIT: Grumble grumble. Not paying $200 to ship my franken bike creation to florida, I'm hitting up craigslist and hoping to find something.
