It gets me over the bridge to and from work rather nicely. That's about all I usually ask of it. I did ride the NY Century with it last fall, though. It didn't complain.
2010 Jamis Citizen 1 with Velo Orange fenders & pinhead locking skewers.

The Daily Grind, parked this afternoon in front of Bubba's Place.
(amazing what Bubba can do with re-bar and horseshoes, ain't it?)

Thought I would post a few pics of my 2011 Salsa Vaya build. You see a lot of the new orange bikes, but not so many of the charcoal. I'd like to say I put a lot of thought into the build, but it was really just parts I already had for the most part. 105 triple crank/brifters, Ultegra derailleurs, Brooks saddle, Cygolight Trident Extra light, Sun Ringle Equalizer wheels, Planet Bike fenders, Avid7 disks, Michelin City 700X32 tires...(yeah, I know the chain is too short. It's all I had in the garage and I wanted to take it for a test ride!)

New budget bike for fitness, up coming charity ride, and probably some commuting too. It's a 2009 "Schwinn Fastback" I picked it up on Amazon Warehouse for $160 less then the regular price because it was an open box. It's a mix of some ok components (Sora RD & STI levers, FSA Tempo crankset, Alex R500 rims, FSA Intellaset headset), and some underwhelming Schwinn branded components.
It's also going to be my first foray into clipless off the spin bike.

Here is my Windsor "The Hour" single speed loaded with a few days worth of groceries. Nashbar "LDT" rear rack, Nashbar "daytrekker" panniers, WTB "Silverado" saddle, powergrips/origin 8 track pedals, and origin 8 bullhorns.

Indeed, though with significant modifications. Brand is covered up because I am not necessarily proud of riding a Performance brand bicycle, but also that I think the less eye-catching a bicycle is, even if it's not a premium brand, the less likely it is to be targeted for theft.

Well, I've never ridden a Brooks B17 (the same as this saddle minus the springs), so I can't speak from experience, though it certainly does have more give than my last saddle, and E3. My rationale was "why not." Bicycles used to be spec'd with this sort of saddle but it's out of fashion now. Also this is my definitive bicycle, and I use it for commuting, hauling groceries with my trailer, and touring also. If I wasn't planning on ever using it for trips longer than 10 miles, I would have just gone with the B17.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
Weather is getting nicer and most of the roads are now clear and relatively dry although it is not hard to see we got some record snowfall this year.
It is nice to get out and be able to crank it up and fly just a little faster and the 26 by 2 Hurricanes on my bike were made for riding on sand and gravel which has yet to be swept up.
