Horrible, horrible, horrible beer.
Actually it's only remotely "beer-ish"

That's one of the better looking Treks I've ever seen. Very lust-worthy.

Scattante r-570, this is what it looked like when i brought it home from Performance last week. it's since gotten a new stem (flipped and spacers taken out from underneath), i plan on riding this thing until it falls apart while saving up for a nice carbon bike a few years down the road.

My stable:
- Cervelo Soloist (Ultegra 10s with powertap)
- Colnago Extreme Power (Record 10s)
- Trek 2200 (Dura Ace 7400)
- Cannondale R300 (600 Tri-color)
Except for the Nago, I bought the rest from local CL. The Cervelo and Cannondale are two very good aluminum bikes despite of their relatively "low" prices.

Recently I added a second 2004 Cannondale R2000, this time a triple. Bought it through Craig's List, first time shopping on it.
Turns out the owner had it in his vacation home in Canada and never rode it. I pulled it a part and could tell it had not been riden as he claimed.
I recently used it to fide the Crank the Kank TT. Almost 22 miles and 2300' feet of climbing. The bike worked great.
The first picture is me completing the TT in 96 minutes. Next year even faster!!

Great ride! I have my 1984 Schwinn Super Le Tour. I'll take some pics and add them later. Love riding the old school. Bought the bike for $150 brand new as I had installed their phone system and the sold me the bike (1 for me and a 2nd for my wife) for cost. Regular price would have been $300 each. I got both for $300. Still have it, still love it!!

After much debate internally and seeing loads of just awesome looking (and expensive, I'd imagine) bikes in here, I thought I'd post my first road bike, just to put it out there. It's a 2011 Gravity Liberty 1, all stock, no bells and whistles. I haven't even installed my CatEyes yet, just a bottle cage. Maybe you seasoned vets out there can suggest potential upgrades ...
Most of you guys are probably going
haha, oh well.
