And just for kicks, the bike I built and races in the mid 90's

I wish I could find the pic with the race wheels. I had the Deep V rims, cranks, headset, and seat post all custom anodized the same color.

Hey urbanknight, what is that crazy thing on your housing behind your RD? Just curious.

It looks like a Shiftmate.

It's called a Rollamajig by Avid. It's from the 90's when it was marketed as a device to improve shifting. I found it in my toolboax when I was building the Tsunami up (was originally on my mountainbike that got it's frame trashed). It doesn't really make a difference, but it's purty :D

It is like a shiftmate, as Voltman said, but it has a round pulley instead of an oval one.

That's pretty slick.

Thank You kindly, voltman :)

It's my daily commuter, weekend warrior, and my ride on late night social rides. I need to bring it out to a BF ride.

same old bike, new pic.

Swap between platforms for commuting and shimano clipless for long rides. If you do any night riding, definately pick up one of those cat eyes. Its like a freaking mag-light on your handlebars.

It's about time you joined, newb! I expect to see you ready to cross race this season!

tony

I'd prefer to race mountain as well but that probably won't happen either. Ahem!

Haha, well we can work on that. Plenty of opportunities to race in Socal. I've got some plans to race cross on a single speed, but that's top secret for now.

Good to see you on the forum. If a noob like me is going to get into it, you have NO excuse.

I know, I know! I do miss racing. Though my favorites were racing the marathons in the Alps or other alpine events in Germany. Nothing worse than racing marathon without a computer. I never had any idea how hard I could ride because I never knew how much father I had to go! :lol:

A general observation on some of the bikes pictured here, how many of you guys with the compact frames and bars/stems slammed actually ride in the drops? That is some seriously low action there. :lol:

Newest ride.. Thanks again to Craigslist.

http://www.geocities.com/e_pipins/newmerckx.jpg

Corsa Extra Merckx came with a mix of new and old. Record 10 shifters and DER... Mavic SSC Brakes & HS. Campy Eurus Wheels. Super Record Seatpost and C-Record Cranks.. Campione Del Mondo Bars and Cinelli 1-R Stem. A weird mix of old and new but it all works together very well..

I had sold one of my Motorola Merckx's to a museum, so was looking on Craigslist and found this beauty. It has no decals, but I tracked the serial # down to a 1987/88 Corsa Extra SLX Frame.. It had been painted within the last couple of years and the paint looks very good..
