I swapped out the SPDs for platforms and the Specialized Avatar for a Brooks.

I don't have anything amazing or special, but it keeps me happy
It's a '06 Scott Speedster s40 that I've bought new. I put about 1k miles on it before I broke most of the spokes on drive side of the rear wheel. Yay for me being fat and cheap machine built wheels. That's when the upgrades started
I tried to stay on a budget, so all my upgrades are used. Well I had to buy a bunch of tools to put it all together also.
Specs:
-DA 7700 group
-DA 7700 hubs on Open Pros
-Look Keo A5.1
-The rest is stock
Here's how the bike sits now. The wheels haven't given me any problems
It's either the good quality of components or me loosing 40 lbs.
I also just finished building a bike for my brother. It's his first bike and he didn't know if he would really get into it, which he did. The whole cost of the thing is less than $350.
I picked up a Bianchi frame of ebay. It's very light for it being steel. It's very neat, it has internal brake cable routing. The rest of the part are what I had laying around or picked up of craigslist/ebay. It was a pretty good learning experience. Pretty much I build a bike from the ground up and it works
Specs:
-Ultegra 6500 BB/cranks
-Ultegra 6500 FD/RD
-Scott Brakes of my s40
-Tiagra shifters of my s40
-Campy seat post
-Flite TI seat
-Bars of my Bianchi Pista
-The wheels are the ones I broke. I picked up "The Bicycle Wheel" and rebuilt the rear. He only weighs 140 lbs, after about 500 miles no problems so far.

The pic size is restricted on attachments. If it's too big, then it won't show up.
You can always learn to use www.imageshack.us, which allows you to upload a pic from your computer, then gives you the link that you can copy/paste here.
Two ways to do it, by hand, or by using the little yellow button that has mountains and a sun on it that says Insert Image when you hover over it.
When you get the link copied, and you are in the 'reply' window, paste the link. Then TYPE [IMG]your link that you pasted here[/IMG]

Some beautiful bikes in this thread but this one wins for me...
My jaw dropped upon seeing it! I am looking to get a new road bike and a Bianchi is very much short listed now.

And of course, there's always the price of roadbikes these days vs. what people's expectation of price is.

Been riding a hybrid for the past year.
This is my return to road cycling after 20 some odd years. Just picked this up on Saturday.
We're still in the "getting to know you" stage but I think it's love.
