osage outlaw:
Here is the mountain bike that I got a few days ago.  The parts should be in soon.   I might keep one of them at work to ride on my lunch break and at the end of the day.


 

osage outlaw:
We were on a bike trail yesterday evening and I swear I saw PatB flying bye on roller blades and wearing a tie dye shirt. 

JEB:
Looks like a good seat on the road bike. Is that an aluminum frame bike?  Looks like you have a STI shifting mechanism.

osage outlaw:
Jeb,   The frame is aluminum and the forks are carbon fiber.  It's very light.  I don't know what an STI shifting mechanism is.  It's got little triggers on each brake that shift gears.  I haven't been able to ride it to figure them out yet. 

JEB:
If your shifters are in the break levers then that's STI shifting. The easiest way to figure that out is google it. I know one side shifts the front sprockets and the other side shifts the rear.  I don't have STI on any of my bikes.

Clint, I just googled "STI shifting on a bicycle" and lots of info came up. That's a nice bike with carbon forks and an aluminum frame.
