I love my go fast bike, which is my Roadeo. I did not ride it last night outside, but rather have it hooked up to a stationary trainer in the house, which I rode for an hour. Winter is my mountain bike time and I stuck a trainer tire on the Roadeo for a month or two until it warms a little. I don't really ride the Roadeo on dirt or gravel unless I hit a bad road while wandering around. I'm currently riding 25mm tires on it and I cannot complain about being held back on speed with this Riv.
So, I currently have 4 ride-able bikes. Roadeo - Go fast road bike Atlantis - Touring bike Trek Fuel EX 29'er - Full suspension trail bike Niner Sir9 - Rigid Single speed XC bike I need to get a bunch of parts and wheels sold off because I would kinda dig a Riv mountain bike, but that Sir9 is way cool, being steel.
