Found an old pic of me finishing Seattle to Portland (2003):
And a couple that @northbend took of me on our Lopez Island ride back in 2012 (I sold this Colnago last summer, so think of these pics as a tribute):

I think it goes better with a black bike.....
I'm looking for the shorts or bibs of the shark with flames, if you ever see it.

Here are my brother and I, spotted at the top of a famous climb the connaisseur will recognise.
My brother is the guy with the Gios, my bike is the Brands Columbus Max, in it's original colour Violette. I had it repainted in blue and upgraded it with Campagnolo Athena 11-speed in classic alu-finish.

Thanks for posting that Brands. That shop delivered some really nice bikes. I've yet to see an uninteresting one.

My son (15 years old) has a Brands too... Even a blue one. Mine is 1998 / 1999, his bike is from the mid '80s. This picture was taken in Valkenburg, we did a rainy tour in Zuid-Limburg together, thats's why the bikes are dirty. Old and new, son and father...

Nice!
I wouldn't mind a 'show and tell' thread on Brands with some more nice big pictures of these fine machines. There's a lot of appreciation for that kind of quality here on this forum.

Victorinox Infantry. An old one. Steel.
I still have it in a drawer somewhere.
I like it. Straightforward time and date.
Band is easy to use, and comfortable.
For someone who can barely tell time, it's good.

At the 68 mile mark on last weekend's Tour de Palm Springs in California, with a friend from the DC area who also flew out for the ride.
My best century time ever, 102 miles in 5:56. Not bad for a 64 year old guy on a 28 year old bike!

Took this one over my shoulder on a ride with my mom and dad over the weekend. Icepick Jr. is being pulled in a trailer behind his grandfather. Not pictured, the Ironman I'm riding.

@icepick_trotsky Very nice! I am looking forward to the spring when my little one will be old enough to join us riding. We have to instill the love of cycling and exercise.

The reason I chose to fly on helicopters was, they don't give a parachute. I still haven't heard a good reason for jumping out of a perfectly good flying airplane!!
