I guess I need to get a few bikes. Currently I have 1996 Stumpjumper M2 (aluminium framed) which is in pieces now. 2000 Jamis Aurora set up with mustache bars, front basket and rear rack 2010 Trek 7.5 Fx needs new rear hub and probably will wind up selling it. Rivendell Sam Hillborne, nitto noodle, handlebar bag, v brakes, soon to be grand bois tires Novara Safari set up for fully loaded touring
In the future I want to replace the Novara with a Riv Atlantis and get either a Bombadil or Hunqapillar for the trails. I also would like to get a Yvez Gomez for city riding.
