I currentl ride an 05 iron Horse Triumph, I just put a deposit on an NEW 2005 Orbea Volata at the local LBS. Originally bike listed for 1,350 was able to get it for 1,000. Not sure it was the best deal out there but it fits me great and rides nice. Unfortunatly it has the Campy Mirage 9sp on it. I will change that soon.

Hey guys, just joined not too long ago so I thought I'd post mine in here. Technically my dad's bike although he never uses it anymore, so I've been putting it to good use this summer. Just got it back from a tune-up, new tires and new handlebar wrapping yesterday. My guess is it's either an '82 or '83. Specialized Allez SE

Just picked up my new bike today and took it for a quick 13 mile ride.
2007 Cannondale Synapse 2
Sure beats the Schwinn "bike in a box" MTB I was riding! Night and Day... WOW!

Technically a track bike, not a road bike, but I have it fitted with a lot of road components to make it street-worthy. I've been considering getting some hoods and having the seatstay bridge drilled out to install the rear brake. As it is though I'm actually pretty happy with the Salsa bars and no hoods, I can still get a great climbing position.
The rear fender is jacked up in the photo. Sorry, laziness.

Here are some updates of my bike after 4 months.
Changed the wheelset, bar, stem, seat post and saddle. Also added bottle cages and computer.

Thanks!
It's definitely a bit much for a city bike but it's a LOT of fun (if you haven't tried fixed gear, maybe you shouldn't, because it's ADDICTING). I also have a cheap little Nishiki with full fenders and a Sora groupset that I use as my rain/snow bike. Ironically, my road bike cost less than 1/4 what I've spent on my track bike. It's usually supposed to be the other way around.
