Much more fun to ride

All change again!

It's now become electrified, and what a civilised way to travel around town, and to and from work, it is

Kinesis is quality at a fraction of the cost

My first ever aluminium frame bike. Been a bit of a struggle getting out for a ride lately, but just had a nice blast through the woods.

First Aluminium bike for me after a few Steel frames then Titanium, love the fat Hydro~form top tube and down tube, picture includes winter hack/bodge mudguard extensions, (when are full guards for these bikes ever going to be made ?) and it has a lot of black ! which I also like...........

My first MTN bike. Aluminium frame with hydroformed tubes (whatever that means! LOL).

My first bike was a hand-me-down from my older brother when I was around 9 years old. It was a Schwinn Stingray, gold, with a banana seat and those big long handle bars. I rode the stink out of that bike for quite a few years. Boy, have they come a long way since then!

My Multitrack 7100 and my brother's Crossrip 3, just Trekkin in the woods about a week ago. Yes, fenders/mudguards are on my list, haha! I am thoroughly enjoying this 'new' 12 year old bike, she is a beauty!

Still around 23/24lb, little change from standard. The chainring is unchanged at 52-42-30 (aiming to get 48-38-28), the cassette is a Shimano HG41 11-34t (original Sora 12-25).

thanks for reply DC The chain rings and cassette are ideal for the terrain down your way! as its quite hilly; It looks just the machine for this.

 

[DCBassman]

Definitely needs smaller chainrings! I'm too old and weedy for big gears.

My CAAD10 bought new in 2011, think the frames the only original part still on the bike!! Brilliant bike, hooligan kit. Every 62 year old should have one.
