I like bikes. Since I live in Indiana, I mostly just ride my road bike around on country roads. I ride a mountain bike for variety.
My Vitus 979 page is fairly popular, so I created a page for information on Vitus and other people's Vitus bikes.
I own several bikes. My main bike is a Cannondale CAAD8 road bike. I ride a Raleigh M-60 for commuting and off road. I also have parts for several old bikes that I am fixing up/cannibalizing.
The M-60 is a good bike. It is pretty light (~26lbs.) The M-60 originally came with Shimano STX/STX-RC components and Dia-Compe brakes and levers. I recently (2007.3) upgraded to a Shimano Deore 9-speed derailer and a SRAM Centera rear shifter. I am on my second front wheel and third rear wheel. I trashed the original wheels after unexpected contact with a tree. The second rear wheel had bearing problems. After only a few hundred miles, one of the ball bearings disintegrated, ruining the hub. I upgraded the rear wheel to a nice Mavic wheel.
I got bored with the few trails in the area, so I don't ride it off road as much as I used to. I now mostly ride the M-60 as a commuter. I'll probably change the handlebars and add fenders soon.
This bike is a late 1980's (1988?) French aluminum road bike with a Shimano 600 group and Mavic tubular rims. This bike now has its own page.
The Trek 330 is a good old touring bike. This bike now has its own page.
I had a Schwinn Traveler. It is a nice old twelve speed that I used for riding around campus. It is a bit small for me, but I never rode it more then a couple tenths of a mile, so that is OK. Unfortunately, some looser stole it. I found it after a month, but some of the parts were really messed up. I ended up replacing parts and rebuilding the bike. With the new parts, the drivetrain runs as smoothly as my Trek 330. I sold the Traveler to my brother.
