My first custom.....the Rear Admiral is now 22 1/2, the Midshipman 21, and the Captain......well...

Based on that, I'm going to take the opportunity to post some kinky bike porn. I modded $20 garage-sale bike and made a "tall-bike" a few years ago.

Really cool tall bike Chad!

Also my bike is a MTB, and though a very nice one - KHS Alite 1000 with several upgrades - I prefer road riding. I'm planning to convert this into more of a hybrid with new skinny semi-slick tires and rigid front fork. I'd love to try riding my 25-mile round-trip commute to work some time. Only problem there is that the route to work is almost all 2-lane back roads which IMHO are not very cycle friendly - no room out of the main car lane, and many people drive quite fast.

Ha! I started to read this post and realized that I had already seen that bike on bikeforums.

As for shoes, I wear my Merrell Pace Gloves all the time with my bike. The rock plate in them keeps the pedals from digging into my feet. I am just using the stock pedals on my Specialized hybrid bike.
