A short person came in with a 24 inch road bike.

Dude...what's up with that long wheelbase? Is that a 650B wheel on the rear or something?
Any Bike Riders Out There?

Love that road bike! Looks long, low, and slack haha.

I would say find a fairly inexpensive bike with a good warranty and from a shop you can trust to cover you on warranty issues. That's one of the things that lead me to get this bike.
Here's another shot:

Well thanks. It's not the best out there or anything, but I've built it up pretty nicely.

Nice bikes guys, just refinished my first bike- 2002 Gary Fisher Solstice. Will post some pictures next week. Did anyone try trueing a wheel using the v-brake method(on a bike)? Or should I go to a shop to do that?

I do it all the time. Im very on the money with getting rims perfectly straight. If the wheel is off the bike, then i use a trueing stand.

I should send you all my wheels then haha. I wonder how off the Glory's wheels are, if at all.

I've always done the v-brake method, until I bought my current disc-equipped steed. Not sure how I'm going to do it now...

Zip ties in the fork or seat stays work well with disc brakes.

I live in Ashburn VA & own a 2012 Trek 7.2FX. I usually ride at least twice a week on the W&OD trail to/from work.

I got my ass handed to me at the NJ State MTB Championship today. Cat 2, 35-39. I finished 18th out of 24. Tough, fast course and alot of roadies came out since it wasn't very technical. Leg shavers suck.
I have rarely seen any other FXs with bike trays on top, but two GEN 2 FX35s were in the same lot as me. Two Thule Sidearms mounted up to each FX (they were also teammates, apparently). One silver, one gray. Bone stock with 18s. I didn't have my phone with me at the time to grab a pic and they were gone when I returned. Probably Cat 1 riders. Some team out of Teaneck, NJ.

Just finished putting together my freshly painted 2002 Gary Fisher in burnt copper(was blue and dirty before). Still working on the wheels, so the wheels and tires from the old Schwinn bike. Couple iPhone pictures:

I think it's a 19" or 20" frame. Happy with a bike so far. My first ok bike that I bought, so decided to painted it right away after I saw 3 identical to mine in one week, since we are in WI and TREK headquarters are just 45 min away(people here are going crazy about trek bikes and selling/buying them used for twice what they worth

Sounds like dual-ply tires to me. I have a set and they are heavy!

I just saw a bike on "How its Made" the other night with solid polyurethane tires. My first thought was how heavy they'd be, followed by how terribly they would ride and handle. Anyone ever experienced them first hand?

How much would a bike like this cost? I've been looking into road bikes to ride while I'm in TX since there's not much in the way of mountains. I want a Giant TCR to match the Glory, but they all seem too expensive.A short person came in with a 24 inch road bike.
