Let's see... 1. 66cm Quickbeam: 40/32-19/16 gearing, m-bars, mini-front/platrack, R14 in back, Rich built wheels - sort of the ultimate commuter bike for me but I do ride it long distances too.

It's a 24 speed with an 8-speed cassette/3 speed SRAM DualDrive combo. Custom built for a heavier rider this bike has been to Walnut Creek (and a few other places round the bay), Mexico City, San Antonio, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and will be ridden across Iowa in this summer's RABRAI. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/5852203108/ 3. Fujiyama ATB - a relic from the late 80's this was the house brand of the McCully Bicycle Shop named after a friend/partner(?) of the owner. Still a family concern they don't do house brand bikes anymore but I think they used to carry Bridgestones. The son in the shop immediately remembered Grant when I brought my QB by the shop one day. This bike has been converted into a single speed town bike. I am the original owner but it sat in storage for years - now it's my go to bike when I want to hang out at the beach (and won't be able to keep an eye on where my bike is parked). http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/4428293840/ 4. Raleigh something or other - My Hilo bike, this is an old 12 speed Raleigh which will probably rust away some day. The only changes I made were new Nitto DirtDrop stem to get the handlebars up and Grip Kings (which are actually on all my bikes). I'm still deciding what to do, if anything, with it other than ride it when I'm in Hilo. It really, really needs new spokes. <goog_1780939704> http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/5189014872/ I recently gave away my fifth bike, a Giant Sedona. It wasn't a bad bike but in the end I never rode it anymore. It's the bike I got when I decided to get back to biking. I considered turning it into a longtail but reality set in when I realized I was out of space in my apartment. Of course there's still room for another Riv. But which one/s? N+1: I've got town and travel covered so now I'm waiting for inspiration (and a cash infusion) to hit me as to which Riv I need next.
