Good pic Rob!!!

Hi everyone,

a while since I've posted, but this forum is great and whilst I don't currently have an image of myslef to post here's a few of my bicycles, firstly my 1984 Raleigh Corsa, Reynolds 501 tubeset and Shimano 600 (1st gen' SIS) groupset. I bought this bicycle new and it is totally original and very nice in it's 1984 only Oyster (pearl white paint).

The second is my 1951 Hobbs of Barbican, fillet brazed construction and restored in the 1980s, bought new by my Wife's Father for a tour of the Loire Valley in 1953.

Finally - for now - my 1988 Specialized Stumpjumper, repainted orange in 1992 by Chas Roberts and restored with NoS Deore and Deore XT components. I bought this new in 1988.

I ride all these bicycles regularly and the Hobbs was ridden in the Loire Valley in 2013 to celebrate Peter's (Wife's Dad) tour 60 years earlier.

I am currently restoring super rare Bill Philbrook touring bicycle, fillet barazed construction with some unusual features.

Hope you like the bicycles.

Jon.

Super Sweet Bike!

What's not to like. Super Set!

Great bikes. Their history makes them even sweeter.
Thanks for posting them!

Following the theme in Striegel's post, here's me mugging for Bing Maps on the Merckx Motorola.

Yeah, but riding credit all to you, big guy. All yours.

Thanks, Doc. I hope I'll see you there again next year.

Here's a couple of my collection. Funny....I can't find any photos of me.

Well, I can't get the photos to post so here's a link

Here's one of my bike I rode when I was feeling lazy

I love those old Centurions. My first two road bikes were Centurions, a Dave Scott and I forget the other one.

Thanks. Millions are re-discovering the bike, but only a fraction of those get to actually own one.

I like practical bikes for riding lots of new roads.

Those tires look badass!

They are a lot of fun: Going downhill it sounds like a Stuka dive bomber on an attack run. And the grip is off-the-charts. Too bad they are so heavy... over 800g apiece. You can really feel that when you accelerate from a stop. That's what you get when you cover the entire carcass with treads.

(Kenda Kiniptions, btw.)

Me and the (tad too big) Schwinn. I can clear the frame though (barely) and it rides so nicely that I couldnt part with it. I will say it looks way bigger in this picture considering I am bending down.

Ive been on this site for a while. Don't think I've posted to this thread yet.

Some photos of me from a long time ago and one more recent.

The Trek is no longer orange. Its dark blue metalic.

Getting back from a ride with my son. Sammamish River Trail/Burke Gilman path, Seattle. Same 'ole..
Nice easy pace. My ex racer son took it easy on me.

Here on the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia. The Brushy Mountain Tunnel which is 700 foot long. Just one of the nice sites to see on this great trail.
