    I think at the moment I would have to go with Surly Abrasive.

    I'm mostly riding my mid 90's Carbon Fiber Mongoose fixie.

    Well,at the time,it was stuff like dead guy & my bike was a 1978 Huffy 10 speed I restored & painted like Eddy Van Halen's guitar. And painted "5150" on the fork tube. Found out that 5150 is a cop call code for an escaped mental patient. Never mind why...:drunk::D

    I am too old and fat for a "bike." Sorry I have a different bike. I am always destined to be the outcast.

    Tallgrass Oasis and Surly Furious are my fav's.

    Hmmm, I think it's a four way tie as far as favorite beers of the moment:
    Alesmith Anvil, Alesmith IPA, Blind Pig IPA, and Russian River IPA (Green Flash's West Coast IPA and Rayon Vert are fighting for a second-place spot though)

    My bike is a Target-special "Schwinn" road bike (chinese crap-o bike) that I ride to work- no mods apart from a Fizik Alliante saddle.

    On bike, I get about 85mpg (of Wookey Jack). :mug:


    (the math)
    240 calories per 12oz Wookey Jack =2560 calories in one gallon Wookey Jack
    ... divided by 30 calories burned per mile of biking

    Favorite beer has to be a Marzen, preferably Paulaner. Just finished off a liter tonight!

    Bike is a Roadstar 1600 - God created the combustion engine for us to use - no need to pedal :)

    Favorite Beer: Goose Island Bourbon County Stout... served at cellar temperature in a latte mug. Seriously, it's the perfect serving vessel for a "winter warmer".

    Bike: 1999 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird. It's not a little crotch rocket. It's a hyper-tourer. Over-sized and over-powered. 13 years old and she's still one of the 10 fastest bikes ever made. The side cases are custom Corbin bags and they will hold 2 growlers each, with some room to spare. She tops out at around 179mph... so I hear. ;)

    bike: fausto coppi, powder blue aluminum model from about 4 years ago w/ carbon forks and rear stays, campy everything incl wheelset, but my classic 80's battaglin is such a nice ride, heavy as an anchor but hey there's no hills here. all original, campy (veloce?) groupset, dorky 'gentleman' wheels. sort of pearl with chrome forks. fuji 80's track bike run over by a drunk driver, written off. daily commuter: very dutch gazelle, weighs a ton

    My favorite beer is Heady Topper, and my bike is a Cannondale M-500. It's about 20 years old, but for $75 on craigslist I'll take it! It's decent for singletrack, but I'd like to upgrade to a suspension fork at some point.

    Beer: Odell IPA, Sierra Nevada Torpedo Tallboys (better than the bottles)

    Bikes: Ground Up custom steel road bike, Built by Eric Baar of Colorado Springs, Full Dura ace components. Its pretty
    Ground Up custom steel Track Bike - for track racing. Also very pretty
    Ground Up custom steel Track Bike - converted to a fixie for training a few years ago before fixies became a big trend. It has front and rear brakes so it looks like a road bike anyways.
    My mountain bike done went kablooie a few years ago and I havent been able to afford to fix or replace it.

    I recently got back to riding after a few years off. Really enjoying being back on the bike again. Might even race when the new track near Boulder opens!

    Heres the Track bike. I had a deep dish front wheel that I had to sell a few years ago :(

    What ever beer I brewed that's ready to drink. And....

    [​IMG]

    The photo of a bottle in the water bottle cage reminded me of the time a friend of mine road up to my house. He handed me his bottle and said, "Try this." I took a swig. It was seven and seven. I said not really being a whiskey fan, "Why not beer?" His reply was, "We tried beer but it kept foaming out of the bottle."
