Indeed !

A hoot to ride as well...

 

[Greyson]

That's a nice bike. Nice scenery too, as usual i'm not doing much riding this time of year.
 
This was from one of my last rides of the season, and I saw maybe one other person the whole time I was out.

Those are the best rides. One of the many advantages of a bike that may ride on something coarser than smooth tarmac.

I forgot about this thread.
Lots of road bikes here. I am mostly riding mountain now because I got tired of LA drivers and I am only 15 minutes from the trail head.
So here is mine.

 

Custom build:
Frame - Rocky Mountain Altitude 770msl (2013 with 2015 carbon rear stays)
Shox - Fox x2 and Pike RCT3 Dual
Wheels - Light Bikes 35 mmm on DT swiss hubs and 2.4 Ardent/Nevegal combo
Stem - Kore 55
Bars - Enve 780 (will probably cut them to 760)
Post - 9point8 fall line
Group - XTR with one up 32 oval and 45/18 conversion and Race Face Atlas cranks
Brakes - XT
27.5lb
Makes me stupid brave on the downhill and climbs surprisingly well when locked out.

 

[Hutnicks]

Awesome builds!

Superb ! 
 
I envy you, mountain bikers. If only I had a trail nearby...

pholcus: Nice bicycles. Thank you for the detailed build.

I ride a Wilier GTR SL with Ultegra. Love it. Last one was an Orbea Orca and the Wilier is better, more comfortable and much better handling. Gotta love bikes...

 

[Nhel]

I am blessed with having plenty of great trails near me here in New Jersey, so MTB is a common hobby of mine. I ride the Talon 4 2016 Edition, does anyone else with the bike have a problem with the brakes being lackluster?

Mmmh Wilier. And an Orca. Both fantastic looking bikes...

What kind of brakes are those ?

I have never heard of these "Tektro Auriga", Hydraulic disc, 160mm
Have you had your bike shop look at them? They may need to be bled. I use shimano XT and had the entry level Maguras previously (tr 200 I think) The shimano's are much better both in stopping power and modulation but I never had a problem stopping with the Magura's and I think you can buy them after market for $30 each so they are not expensive.
Get your bike shop to look at them and perhaps bleed them or/and clean the pads that should solve the problem.

How do the Avid BB7 compare with the Shimano XT, do you know? I'm getting ready to start building a bike. Thanks!
