That is how I started out, but the move to NYC and marriage/kids put me on the road to save time from traveling to the trails...I'm just a dirtbag mountain biker.

Bikes are incredible. Spent some years as a courier for the courts in DTLA “ Satan’s paperboys”. We were delivering documents nobody wants to receive 8 hours a day. Rode everything from 20’s to 700’s ( heavily preferred 700 x 25 for curb hopping ). Haven’t ridden since 2013 - got hit by a truck and broke a few bones . Planning to build a cross bike / curb hopper / beater soon. Shimano , steel frame with 700 - 32 C tires.. surly , maybe cross check if they still make them. Been years since I’ve checked.
All the bikes pictured were prior work bikes. 15 to 40 miles a work day I’m guessing ( maybe more if busy ). Nothing better than going as fast as you can as long as you can.
bikerector - the Mr Pink is an excellent do it all road bike. All city makes some great frames.
I have a cross check frame and fork just sitting around. Should really put that back together- I even have some XTR cantis tucked away somewhereView attachment 1732690View attachment 1732691View attachment 1732692View attachment 1732693View attachment 1732694View attachment 1732695View attachment 1732696

you should have a look at the Surly straggler frame,might be something for you. 700 is the way to go. time to get comfyIm about to purge a large part of my knife "collection" and build another bike. Thank you Carothers Bicycle thread.
I’ve been thinking about an all city nature boy ss cx - like bikerector mentioned though, sizes are a little weird ( same with the cross check ). Anyone in Knife land have any leads on a old school Soma Double Cross ? “Steel is real” !
