Wonder how this bodes for Wiggins? It's awful hard to have a team focus on green AND yellow.

Hi my name is Mike and I have a bike addiction,
current bikeography (I'll show off to yall since my girlfriend does not give a shit)

Intense Uzzi

Eastern Axis

Voodoo Nakisi 29er Monstercross 1x10 strangeness

Mountain Cycle Rumble "the fuck it I'll try that bike"

I also have 2 projects a Black Market Riot Rigid (waiting on spokes) for the ABA BMX tracks and an Intense Tazer VP (waiting on 2012 xt) for Texas, the Uzzi was way to much bike for such a flat state.

Like everyone else in Japan, I have a Louis Garneau. I cycle to work and back daily (about 5.5k). I have ITBS or some bullshit w/ my knee so right now, that's all I ride unless I need to go somewhere else. I fucking love it - super cheap and about as fast as a taxi in most cases. Problem is most people ignore cyclists so you have to be very assertive. Not everyone understands, "Get that cock out of your eye and move the fuck over!" either. Just sayin'...

The Felt will be faster and if you're not going on trails then probably the better choice for what you want to do.

Why not just get some slick tires or maybe a new wheel setup for teh mountain bike. That gives you options if you want to ride the mountain bike on trails if you want.

been through a bunch of mountain bikes over the years, but i believe my 05 stumpjumper is probably the most fun out of all of them for the riding that i do these days. threw on a pike, shorter stem, and wide bars and it feels like a mini-dh bike. coincidentally, it's also the bike that my friends want to borrow all the time.

this shot from a few years back is the only one i've got of it right now.

I don't imagine your racing season is very long in Wisconsin. There used to be a guy from somewhere up that way that used to come down here in the winter and ride with us. Then he went back and kicked ass in the summer.

I don't believe it would be possible for me to list the bikes I've had in the 34 years that I've been riding/racing. I hung up the racing stuff a about five years ago after getting really burned out though. I still ride my single speed road bike and mountain bike some, but not six days a week like I used to.

Anybody follow the Tour de France? It starts Saturday
