Cinderella story for this one. Pulled this lugged steel 1992 Bianchi Peregrine out of a dumpster earlier this month and have given it a second life. Complete build with dynamo wheelset, front basket for goodies, SRAM drivetrain, Brooks C-17, Schwalbe Big Apples for a smooth ride and a Klunker bar to keep the ride upright and relaxed.

Clint Campbell
It's Budlight! Old rigid mountain bike living it's best life. Likes long walks on the gravel and hanging out with buds. White Industries cranks for puttin' down power, Dynamo hub for keeping the lights on, and a Spin rear wheel for street cred. The rest of it is a hodgepodge of Sim Works, XTR, and XX1. Has a seat with flames because it's fast.

Will Dietz
This is my dropbar Poseidon Redwood, purchased on Facebook marketplace and mostly kept as-is besides the yellow bar tape for a bit of a lemon-lime theme. 2.3in and 2.2in tires right now, great for attempting a century and failing due to nightfall, but better for bikepacking on dirt roads and simple singletrack. The 1x10 drivetrain has been excellent, and brought me to Brighton for a splitboard session last spri

Jolene the queen and biking machine! She’s a 2017 Sand County by Advocate Cycles and she can do it all - gravel, roads, bikepacking, you name it! Jo is one of a kind with her tree-lined seat tube and pink accents. I will treasure her forever and hope y’all enjoy her too :)

My Rivendell “Gladys” the Platypus isn’t just a bike—it’s a love story on two wheels. Dressed the Playy up for our elopement to the Redwoods, it carried us (and our dogs) into our next adventure. With its deep purple glow and heart-covered frame, it was the perfect ride for the perfect wedding day.

Dylan Munn
My dream bike. Rodeo Labs Flaanimal 5.0 built with salvaged parts from a bike I crashed during COVID. It’s my go-to bike for pulling the dog or groceries around town or going on long rides in the desert. A bike you love is a bike you’ll ride.

Casey Carrigan - '85 StumpJumper
Tunitas front basket bag, RoadRunner frame bag, and some filthy Novara Panniers provide plenty of storage. Sometimes the Dump Stumpy can be seen hauling a B.O.B. trailer too. This bike does everything and despite its many scratches and dents shows no signs of slowing down. It's an absolute workhorse and easily my most ridden bike.
This '85 StumpJumper was pulled from a dumpster years ago, and has since been pedaled on thousands of miles of commutes, multi-day tours, and Utah single track. Notable bits include 8 speed XTR integrated index shifters, forged RaceFace cranks, XTR V-Brakes, XTR Rear Derailleur, DeerHead front derailleur, Velo Orange Crazy Bars, Brooks saddle and leather bar tape, Mavic Ceramic CrossMaxes, and of course a lil mirror.

Karina Pritchett - "Meet 'The Blue Whale' – my neighborhood spaceship disguised as a cargo bike! With its trusty orange front rack and royal rear throne, this aqua cruiser turns every errand into an expedition. My co-pilot and I collect smiles per gallon as we zoom past boring cars. Who needs a minivan when you've got pedal power and matching yellow helmets? Some haul groceries; we haul adventures!"
Mike Christensen - RadRunner Plus
I ride my RadRunner Plus almost every day! The biggest modification that I've made is adding the second battery and parallel battery adapter so that the big pulls draws power from both batteries. The dual battery configuration gives me a range on level ground of 45 to 50 miles!

It’s a tall bike I made from old 90s mtbs: a Trek Singletrack on the bottom, a Diamondback Serotta on top and a 24” Schwinn Thrasher fork. I lit it up with some 12v LEDs and diffuser channels I had left over from an electrical project.
Amy Andrews If you must push a bike around, it'd better be a cool one. My CoMotion Kalapuya was built up for Paris-Brest-Paris in 2023 and is now our road/gravel do everything machine. 650b wheels, a bunch of shiny fancy parts and so much fun to ride. I don't steer it, but I do everything else (power, nutrition, navigation). Once you go tandem, everything else just seems short.

Stephen Walking -Soma Wolverine COVID build
My favorite part is the friction bar-end rear shifter that has to run through a cable doubler to move the 9sp derailer enough to shift the wide range 8sp cassette. Works like a charm!!!
650b wheels; low-trail fork with handy dandy front panniers; handier dandier BroadFork handlebar purse; dynamo lighting; DI denim jean bar tape; safety shiv. It gets me around.
Cole Griesemer - This is a 2024 ⳺⧲𝌆҉⟟ ⟊⚲⨳𐑑҂
If you're looking at this with a sense of confusion, thank you. It's a pretty standard trandem handlebarred tringlespeed. Up front is a rigid triple tree, and your common 16x4 tire on a 28h 2x/1x laced wheel with a 203 rotor. This bike comfortably supports up to six arms. There are no Whiskey Co. parts, but part of it is actual whiskey, as the plush handlebar bag is filled with candy and whiskey party favors. Out back is a SS hub laced to a 60mm rim (which necessitated cutting off the canti tabs to fit), and ancient, cracking, slick rubber.
Front view of a bicycle with plush unicorn and other stuffed toys attached on the handlebars, outside on a concrete sidewalk with a house and a wire fence in the background.
As one would expect, it has a dropper and a kickstand. Its classic Nashbar special friction shifter has the handy feature of automatically shifting into an easier gear veeery slowly, in case you got tired but forgot to shift. Almost everything on it comes in threes! 3 handlebars, 3 speeds, 3 noisemakers, 3-1 wheels, 3+1 plushies, 3*2+1 lights... it's truly too remarkable to be a coincidence! Also, it is coated in playa dust, which is either strengthening it or destroying it, depending on who you ask.
River Murdock - Velo Orange Piolet I built this Piolet to be my dream all terrain tourer. The frame is custom painted in a metallic hammered finish.
There’s plenty of storage space, including in my double decker leather frame bag, sewn by myself. I’m excited to take this out on some long desert rides this summer!
The build Includes a bunch of shiny parts from Velo Orange and Wolf Tooth components, as well some fun vintage parts like old LX cranks and Thompson stem and seatpost. A dynamo wired to a sinewave headlamp provides plenty of manpowered light and charges my phone on long tours.

Whitney Bradley - Crust Florida Man
Like a shorter, grumpier Cross Check this Crust Florida Man is a bike for bike riding, great at nothing but okay at everything. I really felt like seeing how many not black parts I could find in this day and age, and I must say the shiny silver really pleases the crowd part of my brain. I also fiddle constantly, so don’t be surprised if it looks different from this if you ever see it in public.

Marck Cuevas - 2006 KHS Flite 100 Track bike
Currently built up with Miche Pistard wheels, SRAM Omnium crank with Factory Five Chainring, Campagnolo aero post and a very well loved saddle and Specialized carbon bars.
Originally acquired the frame 10 years ago from an LA messenger and after owning it for a few years I sold it to a buddy that brought it back from the dead after the seat tube snapped. Not only did they revive this very tired frame but they decided to bling it up and brazed a second top tube. I recently purchased it back from them after they had it sit in storage for the past decade but can't wait to get more miles on it and ride it to the ground again!

Trisha Babcock
Margie Isabelle - All-City Gorilla Moonsoon
This bike is one of the last All-City Gorilla Moonsoon frame sets. Such a versatile beast and loved by loads of bike buddies for various reasons. This one is built up with a classic microshift thumbie as a 1x11 (160mm crank length, Max said I’d love it and he’s not wrong) with 27.5 x2.35 tires wrapped around some Velocity Blunt SS tubeless rims. I splurged on purple stuff from Paul Components and Wolftooth. They say anodized parts make your bike faster, but I have a feeling it’s more of a fun to cute ratio thing that makes your brain send signals to your legs and happy legs move faster. Pretty solid science. Ride bikes, get outside, be happy. Xoxo

Davey Davis: 1991 Nishiki Ariel turned cyclotruck. I took the raddest bad idea from the late eighties (elevated chainstays) and combined it with a pretty bad idea from the 2020’s (dynamic load cargo fork) to make the best/worst commuter bike in the world
Frame: Elevated chainstays (inspired by late 80s designs). Fork: Dynamic load cargo fork (a modern bad idea), painted to match the frame. Braking System: Cantilever brakes in the rear. Disc brake in the front. Both operated by the same brake levers
Shifting: 1x8 friction shifting—simple and functional. Cable Housing: Matched to the paint speckle. Lighting: Integrated dynamo-powered lights. Fender & Mounts: Motorcycle license plate used as a fender Front derailleur pulley mount repurposed as a fender braze-on
Design Details: Chainstay-to-cargo-rack alignment creates a perfect visual throughline Matching brake reinforcement triangles in the front and back
Cargo Capacity: Big front rack for carrying loads. Performance: Surprisingly fast, comfortable, and stable when both empty and loaded.

Mike West: I took an American Trek bike and Dutchified it for great everyday utility cycling! I put a wheel lock on it I bought in the Netherlands, a rear rack, relaxed and upright handle bar, fenders, basket, and pannier bag. This thing is great for doing life by bike.
