My Bike Collection

If you were ever curious what kind of bike I am riding, here’s a list of them.

I wanted to put this on here because sometimes I refer to my bikes when I’m writing something, so this gallery will give you the full story.

That is my 2004 Trek 1500, which qualifies as a recreational road bike. It’s a typical aluminum road bike, but it happens to have a team paint job, so some people think it’s a carbon Madone or something. It works though.

I have to laugh when Bicycling categorizes any sub-$2500 bike as a recreational bike that is “good for club rides and maybe your first race.” I race this old thing and regularly beat people who are riding $5000 bikes.

2005 Specialized Stumpjumper.

This is my racing bike for XC mountain bike races. I bought it late in 2005 after my beloved Giant XTC SE2 was stolen. It’s a solid bike, but man I wish I had full suspension!

I also have some BMX bikes and a collection of “antiques,” but we’ll save those for another day.
