The Predator.
Not mine any more, sadly.
It was a ratty race bike, not a beauty queen, which was just the way I liked it.
V20s look perfect off the trailer. Mine hasn't been properly washed in a while, but the chain, the tires, the brake tracks and brake pads get a wipe after each ride. Occasionally I will make a bucket of soapy water to slosh my helmet, the ventisit, the neck rest and my shoes around in though.

Bike rotation begins. V20s get a new training space to make room for the new stuff. Too hot to ride outside for 2 more weeks anyhow. Technically this functions like living room #2

Amazing what you can do with a 3m x 3m space

There is no way my pretty much stock V20 can compare to the ones displayed here so I'll go to the other extreme and post this old photo of a Freerider I had once on my way to the doggy park.
I eventually donated the Freerider to our bike collective and replaced it with a T50.
The T50 is a better bike but I miss those ape hanger bars ;)

Nothing wrong with a stock V20 Tu ;)

think people would go crazy for this look
I asked them if they could leave the paint off one for me. Sadly they couldn't. Anodized would also look rad (personally I like those rainbow anodizations ;) )
Maybe I'll have mine stripped and clearcoated or anodized sometime.

Even crazier would be titanium. I used to own and operate a fiber laser. The colors you could produce on titanium were crazy.

On aluminum, I could get a beautiful frosty white, but that's it. Still pretty though.

Learning to ride on this beautiful Quest (I'm calling her Dreamsicle in my head, because she rides like a dream.)

Comfortable enough to take her on the local bike trails today and achieve a few personal milestones:
1. Ride up the "big hill" without dying.
2. Steer on the gravel path without falling over.
3. Ride back down the "big hill" without dying.

It was a beautiful day, and my 20 minute bike handling practice turned into an hour before I knew it.

1x12 ? What your currrent ring size? Looks cool!
It's a 44 Q-ring up front, 10-50 in the rear. I have plenty of low end climbing but could use a 48 up front for slower cadence fast descents. I had a 5mph tailwind on a flat road yesterday and could have pushed a bigger gear , but it is not a huge problem yet. ;) And a 48 up front would still get me up any climb.
