My main ride: a 2010 Trek PDX Hybrid. Its a great bike for the money. I was a little financially short to buy a Fargo, so I bought this and have been upgrading it over the years. Aluminum frame with steel fork with mid blade braxe-ons, lots of room for bigger tires (could clear 45c tires no problem I've upgraded the crank to X7, the rear derailleur to Rival, the front Derailleur to Apex and X7 2x10 shifters. Also a Brooks saddle, some no-brand bars that I love, Easton stem, Continental 35c Cyclocross speed tires, Ergon Grips and a lot of my own creations.  This pic was taken before I finished swapping the drivetrain. The front lowriders and tent holder were made by me |

When you want to step it up, all you have to do is just buy a new frame, and all your components are already going to be good. I do that all the time, get components for as little as I can, and just change out frames. I am now on a Niner MCR with pretty much all x9. Love the ride, got rid of a Fargo for it, well worth it! |

New bag setup for my Jones in prep for a CT trip this summer. Pictures about 3 months old...the bags are a little dirtier now  How do you like the ride of the Jones? Could you tell me what bikes have you ridden before, and how they compare? I love the look of the space frame -- I know you have the Diamond, but still, I am really interested in the ride. Thank you! |

I really like my Jones. I'd wanted a Ti Spaceframe for a few years, but after talking with Jeff a few times and riding both the ti and steel spaceframes, as well as the steel diamond, I settled on the diamond since it's a little more conducive to bikepacking setups. The fact that Porcelain Rocket is making stock diamond frame bags is a huge bonus in my book too. As for differences in ride quality between the spaceframe and diamond; I believe the truss fork adds quite a bit of front end rigidity, but that's not to say that the unicrown fork is lacking in any performance or noticeable stiffness. I also ride a Canfield Yelli Screamy and, while it's a bit of an apples-oranges comparison, I prefer the overall handling and seating position on the Jones; definitely feels more like I'm sitting "inside the bike" and in control IMO. For reference: I'm 5'9", the bike has roughly a 73.5cm saddle height and is running loop bars with an 80mm Thomson X4. Cheers! -CB |

My homemade bags are coming along... Am working on a top tube bag and a harness/bar bag. Note that the small one on the stem is a Mountain Feedbag. Will put one of Eric's Revelate seat bags on the back!  |

New pic of both my MTB and touring bike set to to go:  I also rather like this set-up from Joff Summerfield of the UK, and his choice in headgear!  Note the packs on the frame. Ride safe, Hans |

They are a VERY hard to come by set of kalloy bars. They were also made under the Dexter name. I bought one pair at the LBS a few years back. After that I spent years searching for another set. Searched eBay, pinkbike, mtbr, everywhere. Nodda. Zip. Zilch. Ended up finding a second set in the attic of the same LBS. I'm bogarting them They are an amazing bar. Thanks for the props |

Got back from the first overnighter with my new gear. The bike itself I built up from half new and half used parts, starting with a Gravity frame/fork combo. It was a great deal, and only cost $50 more than the fork costs by itself. I'm 100% sold on 29er hardtails.
Picture is on the AZ trail north of Flagstaff . . gorgeous up there. What you see is my entire overnighter setup, I carried no backpack. At times I had 3 liters of water in the framebag and another liter in the seatbag. The stuff sack + pad strapped to the handlebars works great, but I'll be happy when I have the convenient of a handlebar roll.
I use about 1 liter of volume for a day's food, so once I have the roll made, gas tank and jerry can, and an under-the-downtube toolbag, I should be able to go for 3 or 4 nights without a backpack. I've become a big fan of having my back free and open to the wind - no more sweaty shirts at the end of the day. If I need extra space I'll bring a small fanny pack that I can stuff in one of my bags after a day or two.
