Thanks. From what I can tell, nude unidirectional carbon with some kind of matte finish over it.

68? Damn, apologies then.

I'd certainly love to be riding at 68. That's just forty-three years from now!

.. hope I got everything correct on the BF picture protocol....

Not even close!!

Handlebars are too high, ha just kidding. I'm digging those MTB pedals, they're super easy to clip in and out of. I have a pair on my cx bike I'v been debating putting them on my roadie, but I haven't simply for aesthetic reasons.

Nice

Nice.

Well, I was going to say something, but after reading the last 2 pages here I see it is well covered!

DubT has to be the laughing stock of his area....and now bikeforum.

why.....just WHY did you butcher that bike DubT? You make pandas cry. PANDAS!!!!

AllezDada

Ummm, because it's his. I'm not sure why just because you would equip your bike differently you have to make statements like this.

He has his bike the way he wants it. And if you read a few posts above yours, he doesn't care what you think.

Personally, more power to him.

VA_Esquire

power to him for riding at almost 70 years old, but I am still confused out of the vast amount of bikes out there...why choose a TT?

My little piece of two wheel heaven.

Same bike as last years, but coming off the trainer for the winter season and getting ready for some road miles.

Is that a soft-tail I see fast back sportster?

UCIMBZ

No. It is rigid.

pbd

Is it an optical illusion, or are the wheels different sizes?

thebigx

Wow, I didn't even notice that. But, they are the same size, I guess the flash hitting the front of the bike makes the front wheel and tire look smaller, because the shadow in the back is definitely making the rear look bigger than normal.

WHOOOSSHHH...

What?

DubT

Cry all you want, I did it because I wanted to and because I could. The bike is comfortable, fast and handles well. What more do you want?

Adrianinkc

As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Enjoy the bike with many miles.

I have a 2006 Diamondback Podium 1. It ended up costing me all of $125 to fix it up. It needed tires, tubes, and a rear rim. I also taped the bars, and had to put my mountain bike seat on it, as the seat for it was junk. I plan on being fitted for a seat this year, and getting a good one for me. I also plan on going clipless this year. Then after the summer, to late next winter I plan on upgrading to a carbon bike. I just want to get at least a year and a half on this, plus lose a little more weight.

X-LinkedRider

I sold one of these Podium 1's from Dicks a few years back. For what it cost, it was a surprisingly nice bike. Like any entry level road bike, stock wheels are garbage and you get a hybrid of components to bring down the costs. But overall not a bad bike at all, especially for the sub 150 range.

Here is my AMX Patriot, set up for Triathlon season. Sorry for the bad pic, I know, not drive side, too far away, ect. It is aluminum, steel fork, double crank, Sora, downtube shifters, Profile Design Aero Bars. Moving the downtube shifters to bar end on the Aero Bars this week, and hopefully a new wheelset soon.

All I need to upgrade is some of the drivetrain now, and eventually, wheels

This looks like the same frame as my Ridley Compact but the silver/black looks so much better. where did you get this?
