Even though I don’t really ride my road bike much, I still wanted to keep it around for days I couldn’t do a full MTB ride. I came across a great deal on this new ‘12 BMC RoadRacer with 105 Group on eBay and took a risk in being able to sell my old frame …

2014 Intense Carbine
This is the new 2014 Intense Carbine! I discovered a molding defect on my Carbine SL when I attempted to install a dropper seatpost. The seattube had some very deep grind marks in the tube: It’s my opinion that Intense (or whomever manufactures these for them), preps the tubes a bit and somehow created these …
2013 Intense Carbine SL – 17.5″
OK, I think I have a sickness. I’m addicted to bikes! The Carbine SL was always at the top of my list, but the price was just outrageous. $2800 for the frame alone. That’s just crazy talk! But when I heard that Intense was closing them out at $1599, well, I had to consider it. …
2000 Dekerf Team SL
I had one of these on my eBay watch list for years now and I don’t think I’ve seen more than one come up if that. This one was in my size and the price was right: only $600 for a complete bike. The bike was very well used indeed and it shows. The frame’s …
2012 Felt Virtue LTD
A new bike… The flavor of the month is this sweet Felt Virtue LTD, Medium 17.5″ with full XTR Trail package. Currently, I’m trying to downsize my bike collection a bit and having sold off the Trek and the Xizang frame, this popped up and it looked like a good buy. I’d been eyeing these …
It’s Baaaack…’94 GT Xizang in da house!
Update: Sold(!) Again! I am now on a quest to thin the herd and sold the frame and am now parting out the rest of the build…I wanted to sell it as a complete, but got a very persuasive offer at $1200(!), so I couldn’t pass it up. I need to get rid of these …
2008 Specialized Globe Centrum Singlespeed
I don’t know why, but the first time I saw this bike in Specialized’s catalog, I wanted one. I thought it’s be a cool “city” bike for commuting or whatnot. I don’t think they sold very many of them, as they killed the design/model after just one year. I think it was Specialized’s reaction to …

Stumpjumper Expert 29er: Ride #2
I had just come back from a [far] too long trip to Shanghai to visit my wife’s father, so he could also see our latest creation, Keira: And after a horrible week of jetlag, I was itching for a ride! I called up my buddy and hit the trails last Sunday, once again determined to …
YAB: Yet Another Bike: 2010 Stumpjumper Expert FSR 29er
Picked this one up recently. Having sold my Xizang, I was itching for something new and wanted to try out the 29er thing. Well, this was what I found. I figured that I would get a much better feel/value for a 29er by buying a used bike versus paying the local dealer $100/day for a …
