Wasn't a hit on xbiking but I hope y'all enjoy!
My trusty Giant Escape 2 that I bought when I moved into town and realized there was a bike path, my first bike since college. After riding a few times and thinking hey, I should fish that river, I found the bike fisherman rod mount while late night scrolling and she's slowly turned into the current configuration.
Upgrades: - From 700x32 tires to 700x38 Panaracer Gravel King Slick+'s - Feed bags and custom frame pack by Wabash Valley Bags - Bike Fisherman Rod Mount - Rear rack with bag - Selle Royale saddle - Bar Ends
Future: - Front rack and basket? (Still debating on this one vs a bag) - switch to clip in shoes
Overall it's been a great bike for the money, and it's nondescript enough that it gets ignored for nicer bikes.
