Pete's CAAD9 OTB CX Team

Well it's about time somebody sent me some pics of a cross bike! Get off your lazy asses and send some in!

Not to be outdone by his road bike, here is Pete's pride and joy. Custom OTB CX paint. SRAM Force with single ring and internals removed from left lever. And to top it all off...Carbone Ultimates. The wheels were a Christmas present from his wife. Just one question, does she have a sister?

Pete's CAAD9 OTB Team


Aint she purdy! We built this for Pete a couple of years ago along with a matching CX model. Custom Old Town Bicycle team paint job. Full SRAM Force (pre red) with Zipp 404's. Ninjas optional.

Kim's Judge



The first mountain posted is a doozy! Kim, like myself, always likes his bikes a little different. This lady has style! This is a SOBE Cannondale frame in team orange. Only one in Washington. Note the matching chainguide, sick! If I wasn't such a horrible bike handler I'd steal this thing in a heartbeat. Then again, it would make me look like 90% of the other dirt-merchants that ride these things. (not you kim)

Matt's 2007 System 6

Remember when Barloworld didn't ride those ugly-ass Bianchi's? Hard to believe those dope free (getting caught at least) polka dot jersey times were only a year ago. These are one of the best frames I have ever ridden. Crazy...CRAZY stiff and pretty compliant as well. Full Record kit. He added the wheels this year. Rounds out the package nicely.

Matt's Slice


Well, when you jump into doing tt's, you might as well jump in with both feet! Here is Matt's custom Cannondale Slice. He opted for a full Campagnolo build with a HED trispoke/disc combo. I love building TT bikes as you get to work with all sorts of goofy crap that really has no other useful application. Besides, JUST LOOK AT IT!

Tim's Schwinn


It doesn't have to be carbon and light to be sexy. Just look at Tim's schwinn. Pictured is Tim and his Schwinn SX 1000 Competition Scrambler, with Weinmann anodized red rims, ACS hubs, and it looks like all the stock goose neck and bar assembly. "16" was his Holiday Hills racing number, the hills being this funky ski resort on the outskirts of Spokane that had this cool downhill BMX track with ABA-sanctioned races. Tractor tread tires rounded out the package.

Speaking of sexy (and packages for that matter). Check out those shorts! Thank goodness for shadows or I may see bubble gum.
Tim's reply...
"I know. My mom bought those shorts at Albertsons and the mesh tank-top at Sears (we were poor, and I spent all my paper route money on bikes instead of clothes). The sticker towards the top of the number plate says "If you like your life as much as I like this bike, don't fuck with it". Brian the Schwinn guy kept those ones behind the counter"
