Any Mountain Bikers on Here?

I forgot how much I've always wanted a Litespeed softtail, thanks for reminding me, time to save :ybrick:

I hear ya. I was looking for an Owl Hollow when this became available. Very fun ride.

My Litespeed Ocoee FS, in its last iteration, before it went to a new owner.

That's sweet. Looks like twice the travel compared to the Tsali. Dig the rear triangle. Seems like a lot more work to manufacture a frame like that. I'm curious what year that frame is also. Just guessing late 90's maybe?

1991/92. :thumb3:

Its technically a softtail, and has around 3 inches of travel at the wheel. The Fox float shock on it is actually quite longer than the original stock air/oil shock, which had long since died. Its light and funky looking, but there's a reason its no longer made - the suspension design has been overtaken by more efficient and effective technology. This one had lots of pedal feedback and the travel is restrained by chain tension.

But the current owner seems happy enough to ride it practically every day.

Canti-brake mounts: another poignant reminder of the days when brakes left much to be desired.

i went for a great ride today at stillwell on long island. trail was beautiful, especially after all the rain we had this past friday

 

[cobiker]

Two birds with one stone. Took a short trip to a biking spot up in the foothills. Got to wheel a tiny bit and had a fun bike ride. The trail was actually doable in 2wd, but i engaged 4lo anyway to get the oil flowin. Haha!

Been a couple of years since I rode. Work's got the better of me. Here a couple of old ones I found. Was messing with the Sir9 and some skinny wheels.

Some of you've already seen these but......
The bike and the stoker- Monarch Crest trail

The twos of us- really, there's a kid back there

Take a kid mountain biking course....I volunteer 'cause it's fun to watch kids do things they thought they couldn't but had to give it a test drive-

My vintage Specialized Stumpjumper

My bike for 15+ years has been a Specialized Stumpjumper (similar to above photo). Still riding it now but just with a child seat on the back.

Nice to see a mountain bike thread! Hopefully I will be posting in here lots. Just got a 4Runner, and one reason for the switch from my car was to get something that could transport bikes better.

Here is my current mountain bike. 2009 Trek 6500. Looking to get another hardtail though but I am limited with Trek's lineup.

Nice Bike,I also have a mountain bike alternative for my car if I don't want to ride on it.

Been riding on and off for years. Started on an old Trek 830 and now riding this beauty...

She is stable mates with my Santa Cruz VP-Free, which will soon be upgraded.

I have a '03 Marin Rocky Ridge I bought new and still ride. An older Hardtail, but with high end components.
