Here is mine before the wheelset came in for it. I have not been able to get any pictures of it since it was finished due to health issues.

Well didn't actually buy it but this was the frame Trek used as a warranty replacement a few months ago. I snapped the frame on my Tourmalet so they upgraded the frame to the 'Chambery'. Tourmalet was all aluminum, this one is 3/4 carbon fiber. I think I made out on the deal. Trek also thru in the fork (beefier) which is unusual in warranty cases.

So it was FREEEEEEEEEEEE!:D

Bought the frame on Ebay and built it up. Finished about 3 weeks ago. Been wantinig a Pinarello Steel frame so this is perfect for me.

BTW, gonna start spending more time in the Clydes section as I think this should be my new home instead of the road forum. Lost 35 pounds so far, but still 245, so I'm firmly in Clyde territory.

Here's my new Monocog 29er. Dirt drop bars and a Tommicog are the only changes so far. I ordered a Brooks B-17 for it, still waiting though. I will tape the bars up shortly. I was still dialing in the position, so I just slipped some grips on the end of the bars.

seeing as how the rotor is 6" i think that bike has 20" wheels. A folder maybe?

That is a very sexy bike photo.

My first road bike was a Raleigh from the early 70s.

Not nearly as fine as that very "slinky"-looking Supercourse though.

Have had all sorts of bikes in the past, I needed a new one to get my butt back in gear...

Bought a Tommaso Imola from Randall Scott cycles, so far (about 230 miles) the bike has been great. It's a lot of bike for the $$.

It has lower-end components and a semi-decent frame and fork, as I get around to it, I'll upgrade what I can.

Yay! Bicycle porn, my favorite! Here goes my Columbian Diamondback MTB. Everything's still original, I only got 86 miles on it so far. It's not much compared to the other good bikes here but she rides and handles great. I'm waiting for the stimulus check to look for a really good roadbike.

Frame had been repainted before listing on ebay. Came with the carbon fork. Its a cross bike, but I built it as a rodaie. I originally bought it to commute on, but it turned out too nice. Looks like I stay on my Cannondale hybrid for commuting.
