Advocate I
Should've stayed away from this thread for sure as now I want to get back on my bike. Forgot how much I loved being out on the trails.

I've got a Redline hard tail and a Fuji full suspension. I like both and neither have broken down and I've done some pretty rough stuff with them. Redline was $700, Fuji was $2100. Kona I've been told is also an excellent brand and is using some really good hardware, even in their middle-end models

Same for Salsa. You'd have a hard time topping the Spear Fish and the Horse Thief. The Spear Fish is my current favorite all day mountain bike.
I would be in for that.
Anyone else in Southern California interested in a bicycle overlanding trip? Any also members of SCOTA?
Glad I stumbled upon this thread here!
I like to bring the Scott Genius 740 with me when I can.
VagabondExpedition Jeep - Somewhere in Northern Ontario at Sunset by e j, on Flickr
It was an expensive purchase - but then, I did get a good deal on it as it was a 2016 model, purchased earlier this year.
I haven't really ridden in years - and never anything too extreme - so I consider myself an old guy just learning to ride again.
I post a few of my MTB 'misadventures' up on YouTube too:

Are you by any chance in Southern California? Great looking setup! You should check out Yakima Dr Tray bike rack.
Thanks! I'm in Vancouver now... contemplating a run to CA in a couple of weeks, but sadly just for a couple of weeks (and likely leaving the bike in Vancouver during this trip). I'll have to look up that rack for sure and see if anyone in Canada is selling it yet and try a 'test fit' to see how it'll work!

I have an older Marin Pioneer trail. Not a hardcore rider.... obviously not a hardcore Jeeper either. 
Any Floridians around, taking a day trip to Alafia on Saturday. Keep an eye out for me.

Yakima Spareride might fit the best
I was thinking the same thing. I primarily use my cyclocross bike for commuting but the big cushy tires means I can take the long way home and grind some gravel if I'm feeling adventurous. They're a great jack-of-all-trades option.
I have Trek 820's for me and my wife. We have changed a few things around to fight us. Pics soon.
I use the KUAT rack. Super nice. The best part is that it tightens down in the hitch, so there is no movement even when fully loaded.Looking for a suggestion on the best Bike rack to fit this back bumper set up
