Thanks DH, it’s damn good to be here. Can’t wait to work less on SPOTs and more on pedaling up those big mountains north of here.

i really think one of the extra cycle tests should involve me on the back with some combination of whiskey, a really big hill and maybe even some fire works
work on that.
thanks.

I have an XtraCycle mounted on an old steel Benotto road frame with 700c wheels, old Campy record high flange hubs and beefy Mavic rims. It has straight bars, platform pedals, and twelve speeds, delivered via a mixture of old Campy and Dura-Ace components.

It is a complete dream to own and use and ride. I always suspected I would like having an XtraCycle, but until I got one I had no idea how much I would like it.

It’s just plain life-changing.

I used to have a teammate who drove us to race at T-Town in his Charles Chips truck. Sitting on those big cans of chips wasn’t all that comfortable, but there was always something to eat on the ride home.

I’ve had an XtraCycle for about 2 years now – it’s mounted to a ‘93 steel Stumpy w/36 spoke wheels. It rocks. The only thing that consistently bites me is the Footies accessory foot plates. I catch my feet in those things constantly on slow rolling starts. But my daughter loves them, so my future broken ankle will be at the expense of her smiling face.
