4. The looker: 80s Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra (Columbus SLX, Dura Ace)





Nice! Looks like my old Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra (Team Domex) (Campy) that I sold a few years ago. Wish I had it back.

My old man ran an Eddy Merckx in the 70`s

I used to ride it, standing THROUGH the frame, when I was about 8

Beautiful bikes, as is yours

I am late to the thread, but some real nice bikes around here. I have a typical Dutch Grandfather Gazelle bike. 20 Kg plus and very sturdy. Rides very smooth.

Giant Faith 1. Just got back from riding Deer Valley a couple weeks ago. Love downhill, it's a blast!

It pedals surprisingly well for a heavy FS bike, too.

Thanks Guys
Bionx is a Canadian Company that has been building electric bike kits for 17 years. Bionx is a global leader in e-bike kits and this is their latest 5th generation kit.
The kit itself consists of the rear wheel containing the motor, a battery (fitted onto the frame) and a control unit on the handlebars.

The advantage of this kit is that is can be fitted to any bike (well most) and it utilises the existing gear system.

One still has to pedal but there is a torque sensor in the hub which provides measured assistance depending on the settings you make.

Any bicycle riders here? Lets see your ride!

I ride a 2012 Niner RIP9. Usually ride trails in Denver, but this weekend, we are in Fruita, CO which has world class riding. Got out for a 3 1/2 hour ride today on some much harder trails than the usual cross country style trails we ride, but much more scenic too.

Tri bike, and one of my MBs, a full XTR Kona FS with Shimano hydraulic anchors. I also have a hard tail Trek, a Redline Monocog, and an old Specialized FS that I use as a loaner for friends.

Awesome photos. Yeah, today's ride was at Mary's & Horsethief! Tomorrow we are riding out at 18 Road. Fruita is an amazing place and we are thinking about retiring here.

We'd love to come back to CO, but alas...my business has us as flatlanders at sea level (for now).

Sounds like you've got a great day planned tomorrow. Mack Ridge to Troy Built was one of our favorite epic rides!

Stay safe and keep the shiny side up and rubber side down!
