I feel naked without a mirror, although I don't like the design much.
I have to have the cellphone where I can hear it. I might switch the holder for a smaller one. Too much sweat in the FL summer for the jersey.
Silver rules red drools...ha ha ha!

It is flipped...the way I like it. I have a bad back, scoliousis, and it's got to be up. I think the angle of the photo makes it look a little more extreme.

Lemond Croix de Fur
I put together another bike for this summer. Its a 5 year-old Lemond Croix de Fur frame (from ebay), shimano 105 componants and new Mavic Cosmic Elite wheels. This heat-treated Ox-Platnium frame is really light. I'm very happy.

This is my first bike. Pic is from the guy who sold it to me, and he must have preferred his saddle that way. It's a Cannondale Criterium from the mid-eighties with a full Shimano 105 group. Biopace rings.
This is the new ride. Just finished building it last night. I think I got pretty lucky with all the donated parts. It's a CAAD8 R1000 frame. Assorted mix of components, including Ultegra STI levers, 105 RD, Tiagra FD, Truvativ Rouleur crank with a GXP BB.

What a sweet ride. That's an unusual color scheme and the wheel decals and pedals really set it off. Really tasteful graphics. Awesome. Thanks for the post.

Of all the bikes in all the world, the Pro Machine is the one after which I most lust. After some miles on her, give us more feedback. In a dream, I see myself buying a 58 cm used Pro Machine off eBay for a steal. Enjoy the heck out of it. Beautiful ride. Thanks for the post.

I just picked up my new Trek 2.3 from the LBS:
I took off the rear reflector. It looks warm in this picture, but it's actually about 20 degrees (f) and windy. Can't wait for a little bit nicer weather!

Something about your Guru reminds me of a missile on the launch pad. Looks like it WANTS to fly. How does she ride? Sweeeeeeeet bike. Thanks for the post.

[quote=zatopek;8444300]Thanks. No missile speeds or flying due to my limitations. And minimal rides so far due to an injury. But all feels pretty good so far. I'm looking forward to being healed and pushing it a bit more.

[QUOTE=zatopek;8445846]Sweet Masi. What model is that? Inspired me to post mine.
It's an Alare, I think it's the 08" Model but I know it's a step down from your model.
