Hi guys. I'm sure most of you hae been through this thread already, maybe the new members could post a pic of theri bikes? here's a pic of mine =)

Steel frame, locally built (Japanese Tange steel), 105 gruppo, Open Pros......:D

Hehe...any excuse.

Nice bike by the way Altwegg! :)

Hey Rich!

There can`t be much of that seat post left in the down tube......:eek:

Oh go on then, if you insist :lol: . She's not exactly roadworthy just yet...

Quick edit - I'm gonna ditch the XT V-brake idea, I've been looking around review sites and everyone says the front squeals like a pig no matter how well set up it is; that and the fact that it flexes the bosses outwards quarter of an inch each side. I'm probably going to go for a set of Magura 33's :D.

My first road bike in many years- amazing how much better they are today. Roger H

OK, Here you go. My favorite road bike - 4 years old. Ignore the peeling paint on my old garage. Well I guess it isn't that bad. Hey, I'm a busy guy! Gotta go for a bike ride ya' know!

I'll be a hog and put up my other bike that I use for commuting. Just changed the front chainring to a 39T last night and put on some lightly use Conti GP3000's. Rides better and will be easier to get started in traffic. Isn't my lovely wife's garden nice?;)

I have a couple of others, but no pics. A C-dale Tandem and an older C-dale MTB.

I'm a nut about bikes. What can I say?

bikeman,
Nice Litespeed! :thumbup: What model is it?

Here's my 2001 Tuscany. :beer:

Rich :D

It is a Classic, 57cm, Ultegra 9-spd. Added Mavic Ksyriums that I got on a super-duper deal a year ago. Also added a Chris King headset and different saddle and tires since new.

Nice Tuscany too.

I'd never have been able to buy this except for a super deal on the complete bike from mail order. I didn't have a problem with buying it that way since I knew exactly what I needed after years of riding. None of the local LBS's could have even come close on price. I do all my own service.


Hey,

Where did all these Ti bikes come from?!?!

I always rode steel until I bought the Ti frame. More like steel than any other material and lasts forever. Plus I deserved it after busting my a** doing freelance work. Used the cash as "Bikes monies" as my kids used to say.

Fubar5 says the ti bikes are from the welders!!

Here's my Primary Ride!

That's Sierra alongside, she's my riding partner!

This is my training steed!

I toured for many years on a Fuji S-12-S and was delighted with it. I just bought a new Fuji for my tours this summer and many years ahead. Here is a photo of my bike near col de Galibier in the French Alps.

My main bike. Soon to have a Stratos MX-6, w/20mm dopeouts on it.:D

My XC/scoot around town bike.

My street/dj bike.

My soon to be built in to a single speed Hardtail.:D

My FS/XC bike (ha ha)

And the firmer riding steed.

I think if I break my Kona, I'm going to go for a Merlin :D

Such beautiful bikes!

Break a Ti Kona? Haha good one Rich! I laughed so hard the chili I was eating came out my nose.

As an antidote to all these fancified bikes, here's a picture of my poor negelcted homebuilt.

Hey Al,

Are you sure you're old enough to be in these forums...you must be 13!!!

Kevin G >> Ouch, that musta hurt!!!

Rich :rolleyes:

Fun fun! This is my training/road bike. My other bike is a pea-green Cannondale Jekyll 700.

here is my leader road bike... built by me (of course) :D

I thought sold that member of the top ten worse suspension designs ever bike.

Here are two of my babies. I don't have a picture of my cyclocross bike yet, but I'll post it when I get it. And I don't have any pix of my mule.

Here's the road bike. It's a Marinoni Leggero with Campagnolo Daytona 10. Great ride. This was the day I brought it home. The tape is black now and the saddle is about 7 mm higher.

This is my MTB. It's a 1997 Specialized S-Works M2. Great bike, and almost as light as a road bike.

My first homebuilt. I don't want to call Alisters "ugly"...but I do want to claim that mine is uglier!

I've moved on since this attempt...

Kettler Alu-rad. Aluminum frame and fenders, Shimano Nexus-7 internal gears, drum brakes

I would post a pic or 2, but i don't have any webspace to put them on. :rolleyes:

You can upload pics directly from your 'puter to the forum. Note the "Attach file:" line at the bottom ot the Reply screen...

well, i was going to upload some pics, but i've now discovered that Windoze xp will not load my camera drivers, and fujifilm doesn't have any new drivers for 2000, much less xp. :mad:

I would post a pic of my Trek 1200, but I don't want the camera to steal it's spirit.

HERE IT IS

I herded 'em all together for a family shot.

Gus!

Surely you must have some room for a Mountainbike there :D

Nope, the wifey says no. She says I've reached the maximum toy level and cannot add any others. :confused:

I wouldn't have time to ride one anyway.
