My bike…Liteville 301
-
Yes,
got me a new camera…Ricoh GR, APSC sensor compact. -
Nice bike! Does the 301 match a coil shock? I was never satisfied with my DT Swiss HVR, as it got insensitive in bikeparks etc. I always wanted to replace it, but obviously I don't ride much anymore, after moving to the north. Yours looks like fun, especially considering where you live - should be perfect for the trails there.

Got new handlebars for my daily commuter (I have no car) a few months back. (http://surlybikes.com/parts/handlebars/open_bar). Yesterday I finally got around to zip-tying a milk crate onto my front rack, since I wasn't able to with my old bars. Man, it's like a whole new world…I don't have to tie down my bag and lock onto the platform anymore....just throw it in and go.
The front rack is an absolute beast. Built by a one-man operation in Long Beach. More info at http://cetmacargo.com/
This is a pic of my daily commuter (minus the new bars). I can give specs if people care.
My road bike is a Co-Motion Espresso rom the mid 90s that I call the 'Co-Motion Commotion.' Its a steel frame with full Campy Record group, New Mavic rims, and a Brooks Team Pro (thats breaking me in, not hte other way around)
My third bike is an Electra Straight 8 that I've customized. It's got a homebrew taildragger rear fender, a vintage shifter mounted on the chainstay, a horn under the saddle, and ape hangers. I love that relocating the shifter also made the bars completely clean. That saddle is now on my commuter, and I have the stock saddle back on it now.
That's all my bikes…
EDIT: no longer Raw and Unwashed!

Some photos from this past summer of riding in fernie, bc. Next time I'm back at work ill get some bike photos. Just picked up a new Scott sub with nexus that I'm going to custom build for a commuter/townie. Will try to get some photos of my co workers beautiful handmade rigid 29er mtb as well

Best product development since dropper seat posts. As a person who pushes the limits of what you can get away with pressure wise in a tubeless setup, I can confirm that this setup will take ride quality to another level

Picked up a new bike before the 26" wheel becomes extinct!
Not owned a Yeti before, really pleased with the bike but have stripped it to rebuild it with some different components. Got some SRAM XX1, Bos suspension and Enve wheels incoming.
Photos were taken at one of my local riding spots, Cannock Chase in the West Midlands, UK.

Very nice pick up. Enjoy the shifting with xx1, it is even smoother than xtr. Will you be making the trip to the gathering next year?
-
Would love to attend the Yeti Tribe gathering. However it is unlikely that I will make it, living in the UK, family commitments, and working away from home make attending any kind of events difficult to organise at best.
A local shop near me has a "Mini gathering each year" I might try and tag along for this event if my work schedule has me at home and not stuck offshore.
Still amazed at how quick Mr Tomac was on a drop bar equipped C-26 Yeti bike, the geometry must have been horrible to ride that fast with. Much respect to Johhny T, hell of a rider and partially responsible for Yeti's cult following.

thats next on my list a brompton there are other folding bikes but in my opinion the brompton is the best .
i like the colour of your bike -
thought you were a fixed gear purist Jii?
great looking bike, something about all black everything . . .
-
The stable is now 2/3 geared
Love fixed gears and still have one but touring or long (+100 km) rides on a fixed gear is definitely not the best experience, been there done that etc. Doing a ~720 km trip in may over five days and gotten quite interested in randonneuring/brevets too so yeah gears
