Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Slim thanx
My racing rig is on fire compared to my clunker ... I was thinking of posting it in the steel club thread but I was afraid it would wind up making everyone else’s bike look bad. It’s such a so sweet bike. .
Since my racing bike is not blue , I will skip attaching a photoof it to this thread but instead I will add a link to my sweet little racer. Head's up the bike is a little dirty in the photo, I may need to wash it and give it some TLC.

Here is my new baby. This is the first bike that I have picked out for myself since I was 12 (now 24 and two days old, and the other couple were picked out by my dad for various christmas presents, typically Cannondales). Ironically enough, the first bike I picked out when I was younger was a Giant as well. I just bought this today, as you can tell I have yet to pull off the reflectors, but have put the new Speedplay's on already.

Thanks.. Unused cabinet from a kitchen overhaul + PVC pipe stand that someone on here had posted a link to.. very easy to make and cheap. I do need to add more weight to the bottom shelf to give me a more warm and fuzzy feeling about the stability.

Does light blue/gray count?

My primary commuter/transportation bike is a Serrota T-Max steel mountain bike frame with a full collection of carbon fiber and XTR parts (just 'cause they look so cool, work so well, and they give the bike character). The frame, derailleurs, shifters, and chainrings are just about the only parts that aren't carbon fiber, so it weighs in at just over 20lbs. with the Spinergy Rev-X-Roks bladed wheels, and just under 20lbs. with it's other set of Spinergy Xyclone spoked wheels (even with the steel frame and lights!). It rolls pretty quickly on its Maxxis 310g tires (not much use off-road, but great for road use), handles very lively, and it gets me where ever I need to go with a big smile on my face everytime.

Since the thread has been revived, here is mine. She is up for sale to help offset cost of new bike I'm planning to get this week or next.
