Arcade Fire, Moonlanders and Green Lakes.

fatter tires, wider rims, brake mount is redesigned to make rear wheel removal a breeze.
the paint is fantastic.




Microshift indexed thumbshifters with barrel adjuster. they work spot on. Good quality Avid levers

Big Fat Larrys with a ton of clearance for mud, snow and cow Poop



Another view of the massive paws of the Moonlander



The Guts areaa, with extra wide BB, Mr. Whirly cranks and a front derailer that mounts on the seat tube. No more E-type front derailers.




Another view of the crank area.



Mountain biking in Green Lakes is an amazing workout.


The Ti Mariachi really loves these trails.


All the way to the top. By then I was done with my flatlander legs.


Forgot to include this amazing photo of the Mr. Whirly Cranks.






Another fine example of the work the Arcade Fire puts out. Note that the Slender Fungus Cycling Association is a huge fan of this band and will forever have their songs humming in our heads.


On other news went to the Green Lakes State Park yesterday for 2 hours and pounded on some trails. Just a dusting of snow and the trails were fantastic. Got really tired with all the hills but had a blast getting off the roads and traffic. Salsa El Mariachi functioned great and truly love having that bike.


On other other news we have received our pre-order of Moonlanders and they are outrageous. I cannot explain how well designed they are and how many innovative features this bike has. 100 mm rims, extra wide tires, tons of clearance, thumbshifers, double upfront. This bike is a freakin' Gran Slam Dunk! Come in an check them out, take one out and test ride the darn thing.

Here is where the King of Canastota Lives.


Giggles flatted so we made a circle and watched him change it.


Hanging out with loads of Carbon fever bikes


Jelly Boy Smashed his banana and turned it into Puree in his pocket.


Jockeying for position on the Canal. Nobody has taken a swim yet.


Cimarron with a 3,000 dollar lighting system . Check out the ilumination!





Last night ride was a riot and the Fight Club had 6 members. We had a great ride, the trail was dry and there was little wind. Good times.

Fight Club rides in daylight up in the Mountains.

D.B. on secret, fillet brazed machine.




D.B. and Giggles on the beautiful gravel roads we explored


A motorist's worst nightmare, my favorite sign of all times.



Covert parking lot at 9 am. Sunday morning.


A beautiful lake in the middle of December.




I just have to say that today was one of the greatest rides ever. The terrain, the beautiful Pine trees and the icy roads just all combined for a wonderful time. We also laughed a lot. Thanks to D.B. for coming up with this one.

Nite Rider Super light

The Erie Canal Trail with out a light. That's my blinker in the right hand bottom corner



Nite rider on and the trail becomes daylight!


Got a chance to check out one of the new Nite Riders that put out about 600 lumens. Real nice light output, flooding the whole trail. A light like this gets you respect from Motorists, lets you see where you are going and keeps you safe.
