beautiful bike at a beautiful location!!
You must have had a great time.
-
Thanks man! I really did. I rode the Bruce Trail for a bit and saw some really nice areas... here are just a sample of what I saw up there. http://www.pbase.com/jinderv/places
I took these photos too.
-
Wow! Im impressed by that beautiful location. I could spend days biking there (dreaming!!)
-
It really is nice. I live about 5 hours drive south of the Peninsula - day trips can be possible but its better to have a overnight stay in a hotel to fully enjoy the sunsets and evenings not to metion the next day.
It really is a wonderful place.

Thank you for posting those pictures. Some of the best I've ever seen. I like your bike too.

Thats what I say !!! :)

She is such a good girl...I can't ever think of parting with my 957. I just can't believe I got one...just awesome!
-
Wow those shots really bring out the simple elegance of the design.
I think the 957 is the best looking bike of the line. And fast to boot. The way the stem is turned makes it look sleek.
Nice,
Terry

100% agreed! [smiley=nod.gif]
Terry, how is your 957? Got any photos of it?
-
Jinder,
No photos yet. I have swapped out the stock wheels for carbon spinergys. And I am having the girvin crossllink forks swapped out in favor of the Nolleen Smartlinks. The shock is blown on the girvins.
When I get it together again I will take photos. give me about a week.
I do like the mean look of your turned down stem [smiley=evil.gif].

Right on!!!! I can't wait to see it.
(ohh, the stem haha, thanks brother!)

Terry,
do you have Rev-X wheels for your bike? if so, you will love them. I swear they give a little suspension on small bumps and such. they are really smooth.
They supposedly break easily, but the Rev-X mtb wheels on my Oz seem pretty darn strong. I broke a rear Rev-X tubular road wheel, but it was used. Who knows how old it was?
suggestion for the Rev-X's: I cut pieces of automobile door edge guards and put them on the edges of the blades (spokes). seems like the edges chip pretty easily, so this protects. a little weight, but not much. I think the protection is worth the weight. the door edge guards are self-adhesive, so they stay on well.
can't wait to see pics of your bike.

JV,
Your pictures really capture the essence of this design. Simplicity, strength, and underlying quality.
I've shopped new bikes for a year now & I can't bring myself to walk away from our old Proflexes. They're just made right.
BTW, your album is impressive. Really enjoyed the skyshots.

Yes Dennis, I have put the rex-X wheels on the 957 and it really looks cool. They really smooth out the ride some. A bit heavy but they really round out the carbon front and rear.
I can really pound those wheels too. I swear they should have broken by now. I do hate the fact that they are presta valve only, but a minor inconvenience.
Jr. took the digital camera to Philmont this weekend, so when he gets back in a two weeks I will put him to work posting some pics.
