The Marathons actually perform better than I had expected. They're a bit on the heavy side, but not outrageously so on a steel framed bike with pannier rack etc., and their rolling resistance is very low for a tyre of that class.
Awaiting delivery of a new mtb. It'll be a serious upgrade from the Motobecane hardtail with a Suntour XCT fork I have been riding for 7 years. Photos hopefully this week...
Long time since I posted in this thread but this bike it still going strong. I’ve changed the handlebars but that’s pretty much it!Can't believe I missed this thread!
i ride my bike maybe 100-200km a week depending. Since I've taken this pic I've made some changes to it.

The Christening of a 2019 Trek Fuel EX 7. Huge upgrade. Rode this bike in Moab 3 of the 6 days there and it outperformed the Orbea Occam I rode the last 3 days. Probably more bike than I need at home, but I hope to take her places!
[QUOTE Still breaking in that Brooks saddle, though. Yes, it is set at my most comfortable angle. Your mileage will definitely vary
My Garlati road bike came with a Brooks saddle very similar in 1964.
Looks like you had a great day! Nice ride!Rode in the Tour de Fronds on Saturday. I didn’t plan on doing essentially zero training, but that is how it worked out. I was completely whipped after the metric century to Eden Valley and back, with almost a kilometer of climb/descent. Sun and lots of forest shade in the mid 70 degree F range.

The Fuji Absolute hybrid I'm spending most of my time on these days, after putting new Schwalbe Marathon tires on. I ride a lot of pre-dawn miles, so these certainly help with being seen!
