Our Bikes
Each Summer we try to get out and ride more and more. Even though my leg still gives me trouble
I try to ride multiple times each week. Lisa has been known to take the Gary Fisher and ride a gravel rail trail near our house for
20 miles in an afternoon. Now that she's done more riding we added a Rush Feminine to the collection, it will enable
her to take her mountain riding to the next level. In the Spring of 2009 we got Lisa a Specialized Dolce road bike so she could do
charity rides with some friends and it quickly turned into 30 mile rides before work once or twice a week I couldn't let her have all the
fun so after selling the Epic I added a Specialized Roubaix to the collection so I could join her All the crazy features of all the bikes
are important to me but Lisa doesn't care about that, she just loves the colors!
Gary Fisher Tassajara GS: Lisa's everything ride, she spotted in in the
bike shop when I bought the Epic, we went back and got it for her later that year, she fell in love with it instantly, "it's the prettiest bike ever!"
Cannondale Rush 2 Feminine: Lisa's new full suspension ride, we found it at the
shop down the street from our house while I was picking up a part for the Prophet, it was love at first sight as always!
Specialized Dolce Elite: Lisa's new road ride, another purchase from the shop down the
street and a perfect fit. After a little adjusting and fitting she can pull off a 35 mile ride and still feel great!
Specialized Epic: This is the best cross country bike ever built, the smart rear
shock is automatically locked out until you hit a bump, then it opens and provides about 4 inches of travel. Somehow it just exactly
when to open and when to close so it climbs like a mountain goat! The Epic moved on to a new owner early Summer 2009, I'm sure it will
be enjoyed for many more years.
Cannondale Prophet 1: This is my all mountain ride for much more aggressive
riding than the Epic, not as good a climber but much better for decents. After breaking the FSA carbon fiber crank this Spring and replacing
it with a Shimano XT it's better than ever!
Specialized Roubaix Comp: My venture into road biking, a sub 20 pound carbon fiber frame road bike for me to be
able to keep up with Lisa on her road rides! I have some fitting and adjusting to do but so far it's been amazing!
Cannondale Caffeine 29er-3: The newest to our collection, a 25 pound, single speed, hard tail with 29 inch wheels and
a Lefty. I've only had it on a couple rides but so far it's been tons of fun, it rolls over everything and is smooth as butter!
