What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What road bike do you have?

aah clever.
me: 72.5kg (160lbs) and 8.0% bodyfat
me and bike: 82.5kg (182lbs) and 13.5% bodyfat.
Someone do the math. Does that mean my bike has its own bodyfat? If only I could find it

Currently building up a Performance Scattante XRL right now with mostly 105 parts. Something a bit different than my cross bikes.

Mondonico Futura Leggero, 58cm, lugged steel w/ chromed steel fork, Campy Chorus, about 18½ lbs (incl Time RXS Carbon pedals, not shown). Had it under 18 lbs last year but it's fattened up a bit since then.

It's nice to hang with the climbers on the Wednesday night club rides when the majority of them are on sub-16 lb Specialized Tarmacs!

My winter/beater/race bike is a black '02 Cannondale CAAD5 with 9-spd Centaur.

Just picked up this 2005 Airborne Thunderbolt - it had 3 miles on it before I test-rode it, now it has more like 11. All-aluminum with full Ultegra, Ouzo Pro fork, Reynolds Alta Comp wheelset (destined for replacement sooner rather than later).

Ladies and Gents, I present to you my new toy: the lovely, the ravishing, the undeniably fantabulous:
La Donna Selvaggia!





Yes, I know, bizarre? eccentric? Ahhhh oui, but that's how I do it! All of my bikes have personalities, and as such, names that represent them...Selvaggia is Italian, meaning "wild." Fits this little number, eh?

Ohhhhh....that's a Jamis Comet that I just sold on e-bay...it was too small for me, and I wasn't too keen on the aggressive geometry. I like a more relaxed ride, and seeing as I won't be going into racing as I had originally planned, I figured it'd be better to put my money into a good tourer, hence the Signora Selvaggia.

BTW, like the name? My other bikes are:

Babbadahs (2006 Bianchi Bergamo)
Bruiser (2005 Trek 820)
Gracie (1979 Raleigh Sprite mixte)
La Contessa di Portomaggiore (2006 Mercier Galaxy)

You might want to consider a small cabinet next to the tv for all the vcr's and dvd players up there. That stack scares me.

Hehe, surprisingly, that stack is incredibly stable! But I'll talk it over with my roommate and see what he thinks...
