Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

He either hated my bike really bad, or it was directed at the spam post that seems to have been deleted

This is my late '80's Raleigh Technium. I bought the frame new and built it up. I've learned alot from this bike and it's changed over the years. It weighs in at 19 lb.

Here are my current ones:
2008 Bottecchia (from eBay) - I've discovered it's just a Fuji CCR without the curved stays (which Fuji patented) Built up with Ultegra drivetrain, TruVativ cranks, Tektro brakes, Velocity wheels in pimpin' gold, and Aliante saddle (cheap saddle shown in photo is gone. Seatpost clamp has been replaced with a red Salsa one).

That's a sharp-looking bike the way you have it set up.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. I mainly do long rides on the weekends (60 miles +) so I have it step up for comfort. I could lower the seat a little to get more aggresive, but being that I weight b/w 215-220 I only get in the drops on downhills...and I kill the downhills...

I see a lot of pictures with missing valve caps. Am I the only sick rider that can't leave the house without it or there are more like me out there?

No, there are definitely more freaky people out there who absolutely HAVE to have a valve cap on each wheel. Most of them believe that the cap keeps the air in the tire. We keep a big can full of them for such people.

I think it's a valid thing to be concerned about (not the air getting out, but the valve bending for whatever reason, small rocks hitting the valve at high velocity would do it).
I don't like going out with missing valve caps, but it's not a necessity by any means
