New to me
I have only had my bike for about a month and can't ever see giving it up!
The color wasn't what I might have picked had I bought it new, but to tell the truth it has kind of grown on me. Plus, I haven't ever seen another bike that is the same color.
I just love the way this bike rides.
(excuse the giant rear view mirror .... I'm a UPS driver .... can't take the road without one )

Another one rolls off the line. This is a parts bin bike - I had everything but the rims and spokes on-hand.

Is that the Ciocc that's been hanging in your garage? Splendido! (though the decals on the rims must go!)

You're not the only one that wants me to ditch the decals. See:

Been hanging there for almost two years, exactly.

I like the rim decals, but I'm not a classic & vintage type of guy.

I have been looking for this frame for the last 3 years, actually its older sister (VXR). Lucky day on ebay last week and huge surprise when it arrived last night. It's in way better shape that I could tell from the auction pictures, aside from a couple very tiny spots on decals, it's like new. 
So excited it only took me 2 hours during the night to strip the old frame and mount the pieces on the new.

Yes, 2003 Time VX Special Pro. The VXRS is about a pound lighter with higher grade carbon, carbon lugs instead of aluminum lugs, integrated seat post, tapered steerer tube (1 1/8 at the stem, 1 1/4 at the crown), and asymmetric chain stays. It's about 120 gr heavier than the current VXRS Ulteam WS.
Aside from the frame being newer and lighter, my main goals were to have a longer steerer tube (I am not getting more flexible with the years), and YES the color. I like black carbon.

Hey there,
Here is my 2007 Felt z70. Since I have got it, a lot has changed, most recently, I got a used Dura Ace standard crank, going from a triple, and a 11-28t cassette. I have 3T Rotundo Pro bars on there too. Also have Williams 30x wheels.
Sorry for the bad picture quality, also the lack of garage door. I decided to take the picture in front of the same closet, just for consistency. Yes I know, flip the stem, I had it, but got the bike fit and it just works much better this way.
Before (February 2007):
After (March 2010):

Bikes: I have a 3 speed Mission Bicycle. What I mostly ride though is a fixed gear that I built myself. I also have a Raliegh MTB that I'm hoping to turn into an Xtracycle, and I'm saving money for a lynskey ti frame to build my dream fixie.

These are mine. The black one is a Mission Bicycle with a 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub. The green one is a 46/19 (65") fixed gear that I put together.

Just got it on Friday, and was able to get in a long ride in Bidwell Park on Saturday before it started raining. So far, it's a fantastic bike with just a very smooth feel to it. I took it on some rough trails: rock gardens, lava cap, loose tennis-ball sized rock areas, steep uphill and downhill, and some tight and technical sections. I was surprised that despite the bigger wheels than my old 26" hardtail, this bike handled even better.

This is the first bike I bought before I knew anything about bikes. I went and upgraded from Sora/Tiagra mix to SRAM Force. I swapped in my Roval wheels from the Roubaix. It's a functional, fun, back-up/commute racer now.

Currently on loan to me from a close friend:
52cm Della Santa with a Centaur triple 9-speed group and Mavic wheels. The SLX makes for a great ride and from the 10mi test ride, I absolutely love it. I slapped on some newly-acquired LOOK pedals (thanks BBM) and am probably going to take the Terry Fly off there and put on one of my Flite's.
