My Bikes - the Green Machine


This I believe to be one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen. It is a custom built Gunnar frame that I bought from Mike Oster and tricked out with disk brakes. I use the bike in the woods, usually at Burlingame State Park and around the Great Swamp Management Area, and I hope to expand my off-road riding this summer. The bike feels great, is very responsive and handles extremely well. It is a single speed, which my friend Tim convinced me was the way to go. After riding geared mountain bikes for many years, I agree. There really is no need for the ridiculous amount of gears that bikes come with these days. It brings back alot of the joyous simplicity that riding bikes had as a little kid. Riding the Trackster convinced me that gears weren't needed on the street, and this bike proved that you don't need them in the woods either.

I think Ostee misses that bike a lot, right now...
