New Bike Day!

If my fragile male ego would let me rock a basket I’d do it, but I was looking for a bike with a little more swagger than my Escape. The Nardo Path seems to achieve that, but I think a basket might neuter it a bit. I put a quick call into Electra and they do in fact have a pannier for it, so i returned the Bontrager. I do think it’s rad that a Townie is getting so many hits in this thread.

Standard issue round these parts for beach cruisers. You can inflate your male ego by stealing one from behind the grocery store.

Your manliness will only be bolstered by an old-school galvanized basked with a few hits of rust colored primer and a UltimateEars speaker growling out power chords. Add GG emblem up front and an interesting hat, and you'll be parting the crowd for Mrs. BugG. :cool:

I've had this one for a while, but I figured I'd finally post it in the new bike thread. I've got another one coming that hopefully I'll be posting in here soon.

XL Giant Trance Advanced 29 Pro 2. Swapped the drivetrain from nx eagle to a gx/x01 eagle setup. Brakes to Guide Ultimate, carbon bars - syntace stem. I've got two wheelsets for it, the oem carbon wheelset with minions and a speed tuned exile carbon wheelset with an XC setup.

27.8 lbs with pedals and 2.3 minions
26.9 lbs with pedals and my XC wheel/tire setup

I'm going to put a 34 factory and a factory dpx2 on it soon.

Loving this bike.

Looks like a lot of fun, enjoy it. :thumbsup:

I thought hard about a short travel 9er. Some fun looking options out there – trail bikes, not geeked out XC racers. Banshee Phantom got my attention...

NDS photo, no fair... :(

Congrats on the new tool. That scrubs color is easy to take. Seems like a lot of bike for Koko. But I'm not riding it, so I'll STFU. :D:thumbsup: And, don't listen to anything @Mikie says about your rotors! Ride it hard and enjoy...
 
I really like the industrial design of the new rip rdo. I didn't really like the previous niner's all that much but always respected them for having a distinctive and unique look to them. This new rdo is a looker however and looks nothing like anything else on the market. Love the color too. Rad rig!
