My new ride...

[MPDev]

Just upgraded to a carbon frame and some new wheels; anyone else here into biking?

I used to be into mountain biking a couple of years ago, not seriously. Just bought me a nice dual suspension and went up the hills a lot. I have to say they are a camp-looking pair of inner-wheels. The writing makes it look odd. And it kinda looks like the wheels are a bit too big for the frame Did you pimp your bike!?

Upgraded, starting to really enjoy riding now.... it was time for some new gear. Those wheels are light as a feather and strong as you can imagine - even a thick branch in those spokes wouldn't stand a chance. Bike weighs in at 20 pounds, not bad and hopefully a boost for my uphill performance. It's not your average 10 speed,

Yeah, mountain biking is pretty badass, not much into the bike you posted, too hard to ride....

My "problem" is that I can't commit to one thing - I love bodybuilding, a solid 240 pounds at 6'; but to be fast you need to weigh less and I simply don't want to give up bodybuilding to be faster on the bike. So, I'm not trying to be competive with anyone but myself - I track my distances and times in a journal and simply try to do better. I have a couple 100-mile rides coming up and have alot of friends who are competitive, I told them they can go first and I'll catch up with them at the end. lol

I enjoy swimming and do some running - did a small tri a couple months ago. I'm just not a fan of running overall and I don't like swimming in groups; but I do love riding the bike.

I'm not fast, but I do have alot of power.

All my power is caculated as horsepower BTW, I enjoy Extreme Fitness, I think I've made 1 post so far, but there is so much good content for beginers that I mostly read and read and read.

No worries Shazz. I have a feeling he's not short in the car department.

The only biking I've really got into was freestyling; mainly flatland/ground tricks (not the BMX dirt). I was so obsessed with it. This was back in the day of course as the only traveling I do now days is by car. Sigh...

Maybe one day I'll grab some tips from MPDev.

Hey, PennylessZ, glad you are enjoying the site; hope you post more, lots of great people on the site eager to help people out.

Shazz, sorry to disappoint; I just shipped my last Viper off to the Netherlands since I was getting zero seat time with Baby #5 taking up most of my free time of late. It'll be a couple years before I can claim time in a two seater again.

No problem, Free; maybe by then I'll be in a position to give advice! lol I'm still learning, but having fun in the process. I have a 62 mile event and two 100 mile events coming up soon and just trying to keep up with my buddies.

Cheers!
