Checking out the trails across the Skokie Lagoons, just north of Chicago IL. Fell a lot and got covered in mud but still had so much fun!
The new CST Pika tires did surprisingly well at biting into dirt and dead leaves, though they’re pretty loud on pavement.
1991 Trek Multitrack 700 conversion from the stock riser, swept-back commuter handlebars to flat MTB bars (wanted a more aggressive riding posture and cleaner cockpit)
Also swapped to Bontrager AT-550 29” mtb wheels with knobby CST Pika tires, and a WTB Volt saddle.
Next up is ditching the front derailleur and switching from the stock 28t/38t/48t triple chainrings to a single 42t narrow-wide chainring, and some SPD clipless pedals on the cranks
Multiple peoples’ locked bikes were stolen yesterday from my building's garage. Please be on the lookout for my matte black Trek Domane Al 2 serial# WTU044XC1181Z https://bikeindex.org/bikes/3413049
It has Terravail Washburn gravel tires with tan sidewalls, a top tube bag, and a seatpost bag. I had been saving up for years and finally got my first road bike less than 2 months ago, only for this to happen to my building.
