Hey dubbers, this is a thread to discuss any road or mountain biking that you may do. I am a road cyclist who likes building my own bikes and swapping out components from bike to bike. I rarely buy a complete set and when I do I usually tinker with it immediately.

Anyhow, this is (hopefully) a thread to share information about your cycling experience. Trails, routes, equipment, experiences, you name it, we want it.

To get this kicked off, I recently upgraded to a new Motobecane subcompact 58cm aluminum frame (6061) and carbon forks. I've gone Ultegra 6800 on everything except wheels and crank. The wheels are a pair of Vuelta with gatorskins and the crank is currently an FSA Gossmer this will be replaced when I find a good price on an Ultegra crank.

I generally only ride the trails around CBus because of drunk soccer mom's but occasionally ride downtown with some friends.

Any other dubbers out there on man's simple yet most efficient machine?
