Ugh, I now have a massive desire to 'down travel' - A Transition Scout is beckoning. The Capra almost seems just too capable.

The DH and DJ bike I had, sadly got rid of them both recently. But now thinking of getting another one. Quite like the look of a slope style bike, maybe a Transition bottle rocket or double.
Depends what your riding most. The Scout is a dam good bike (ugly welding though, seems to be a hall mark of Transitions) My friend just got back from Morzine on one and had a great time on it. He said much better than his old Blindside.Originally Posted by Si
I sold my DH bike because I have ridden everywhere I can get to in a day, to death. If I had the terrain I would never pedal a bike again (except a BMX) I'd own a DH bike and a BMX and bin the rest.
Raleigh Rapide 69-71. 5 speed.
Yes it has "suicide" levers and gum walls, wouldn't be a "proper" racer without.
Summer of 2014 I did 870miles in 54 days of 100 day Corporate Global Challenge, average 16 miles/day. Best day was 59.7miles.

This event is sold as 10,000 steps/day, average office worker does 4-5,000/day, this gets them doing the extra 1/2 hour exercise that I/we/they should be doing. 1 mile cycling gets 480 steps + 320 steps on the "pulse" step counter, for a total of 800steps/mile. For a team of 7 to make it "round the world" and collect the "5 Continents" trophy takes around 9,700,000 steps.
I need a new Brooks B15 saddle, this happened early this year.

Trek X-Caliber 9 (2016) with some extras.
hard tail, full sus, they are all great fun. Never owned a road bike though I would consider a cyclocross or gravel bike as they have disks these days.
Family fleet
My new roadie has discs, never had a mountain bike, probably never will LOL...
