As someone who loves to peruse Craigslist, FB Marketplace and other selling sites, I see ads of “vintage bikes” asking a premium price. So my question is, are they really worth it or are they just old bikes? For example, this 1999 Specialized asking a cool grand for it. Yeah, it is nice, looks in…

Let’s begin with a story: A long time ago RL and I were riding the world famous Fullerton Loop at night. Lo and behold I get a flat; no biggie, I got my spare tube and my CO2 pump. Changed the tube and when I tried to fill it up with the CO2 pump, all…

We have all crashed at one point, it is just one of those deals that happen when you ride mountain or gravel bikes. There is a crash that left an big impact on one of our rides; this crash was so bad that our friend retired from mountain biking. We also remember this crash because…

Shortly after I bought the Poseidon X gravel bike, Poseidon dropped the Redwood; a “monster cross” bike that was designed with the Fullerton Loop in mind. I was intrigued… I thought about it for a while and I went ahead and pulled the trigger. After two rides, I think I have a few good Poseidon…

I am back riding on the dirt! but this time I changed things a bit; I’ve been riding gravel bikes. Before I get accused of jumping on the bandwagon, we started riding cyclocross bikes since 2005, that is right son! 15 years ago! I ended up getting rid of the Salsa Journeyman Claris and instead…
