So I really love cycling. I've owned a couple BMX bikes, and two mountain bikes and one crappy street bike lol.

I've had like 5 Diamondbacks (they've either been sold/traded...or stolen)
and I've had 2 mountain bikes (1 Diamondback, custom parts - was stolen from me) and I just bought a Mongoose today, which is my current bike. I got it from Wal Mart, so it does suck. But I don't have a lot of cash to blow on a bike right now haha.

Anyway, I thought this would be a great place to post your bike/bike specs if you know them!

I'll start.

This is the bike I picked up today..
Mongoose XR-75

Only got one, I only know the name off the top of my head: Specialized Hardrock.

It cost about $500, but I have friends that are way more into biking then I am. Like to the point where they participate in downhill races in CA. There's cost like $1000+. Couple years ago I never knew biking was so expensive, I was used to Walmart brand bikes haha.

Trek Bikes are nice to ride on. I personally favour the Trek Fuel Ex. 9.9. :)

I got a Trek hybrid. I go cross town 10 miles to town commons and back to my house. There are a lot of dangerous crossings where I have to cross big streets that don't have crosswalks but I have managed to not get hit by a car so far.

Ex boyfriend got me into cycling a while back. Bought this at the end of summer for a few races next year. Possibly the greatest thing i've ridden/driven. I've left it stock standard with Ultegra for now.
