I just joined the bicycle club with this beauty (at least in my mind it's one of the best looking bikes ) By the way, it's my first bike so don't be too hard on me

That bike looks like the bangin' Escape. Yup! That's one of my favorites, too!
I also like Giant's Seek model!
However, my two best of all time, are the Jamis Coda and the BadBoy 9 from Cannondale!

Off Road Treking Bike
I built this frame in 1992 for "rough stuff" riding - off road use with road components. Lugged, heavy gage butted Reynolds 531 tubing with 700c wheels (not 29ers). It was set us to switch to cyclocross sewups and also drop bars.
I had Phil Wood make me some hubs with very little offset in the rear to prevent spoke breakage when off road. Also the stem was a special make from Salsa. The tires are 700c x 41 Specialized Nimbus.
How it looked when new in 1992.
Better picture of the Day-Glo florescent chartreuse paint.
Full sloping crown.
More pictures.
Several years ago I switched the TA Cyclotouriste cranks for an NOS 1987 Shimano Deore triple after ovalizing the second or third TA 26T chainring.
Bike rides and handles perfect on and off road.

My hybrids are a Jamis Allegro 1, a Surly Pacer and I am having an Origin8 cx700 built into an all terrain bike. [The Pacer may undergo another handlebar/stem adjustment.]
