thE kErnEl - the worst cyclist of the bunch, so lighten up when you pass him.

thE kErnEl rides a 2002 Serotta CSi with a Serotta F1 fork. It includes hand-built wheels with Mavi Open Pro CD rims, Campy Chorus Compact group, Selle Italia Flight saddle, and Deda bar and stem. See the pictures!

eD BiLLy - the founder, so lighten up.

eD BiLLy has too many bikes to remember. He rides GT on the road and a big wheel bike when he feels like it.

eD LoNNie - rides a fixed gear for Christ's sake, lighten up.

eD LoNNie puts us all to shame with his fixed gear. Ask him about his new fork - or check out the picture in the RAGBRAI 2002 picture gallery.

Fixed Gear- mid 80's Guerciotti, 54 cm, gear ratio 39/17, Shimano Dura Ace
rear hub, Shimano 105 front hub, Campy rear rim, Mavic front rim, Chris King
headset, Salsa stem, Bontrager handlebars. Generic seatpost, Selle Italia
Flite saddle. Frame was bought off a local mechanic for $40.
Icon Air Rail carbon fiber fork to replace the steel fork which broke at the crown lug during RAGBRAI 2002

Ventoux - Salsa frame, Steelman fork, Phi and mix and match components.

Mountain bike-Croll Reynolds 853 frame outfitted with Shimano XT, Marzocchi
Bomber fork, Chris King headset, Salsa bar & stem. Thomson post, WTB saddle.

Single Speed- Diamond Back Ascent frame with a Syncros seatpost & WTB
saddle. Wtb dropbars & Terry stem. Gear ratio 36/17.

Road bike-Trek 531 Reynolds frame with a Suntour VX gruppo.

T biLLy - dad, teacher, guru and was smart enough to marry into the right family

On his way to a great collection of bikes. Working part-time at a bike shop, T biLLy is also a fit expert.

2005 Gunnar Roadie - Finished the build on January 5. Reynolds 853, Capmagnolo Chorus Carbon, 39/53, 12-25, Salsa stem and bars, and Fizik Arione saddle. I can't wait 'til spring to ride it!

1996 Cannondale F500 - Hardtail XC Mountain bike
Description: BBQ finish with gold lettering--looks sweet! Still in good shape because it was used as my townie for the longest time. Just recently getting into going off the pavement.

1995 Trek 2300 - It is from one of the last years that Trek made the composite frame with carbon tubes and aluminum joints. Although I'm not loyal to Trek, I'll never get rid of this bike.


More nonsense to come.
