Interesting to see that the fg/ss folks also have some of the nicest geared bikes and vintage rides.

My Bottecchia, love riding this bike. Pedals are off because I haven't bought a second set of clipless for my fixed gear yet.

Lousy about taking photos but my rides include the following:
Duracycle FG converted to SRAM P5
Trek 950 MTB with Nuvinci Hub
Kona Humu cruiser converted to Sturmey Archer S5-2 Alloy hub
Steelwool Tweed with Alfine IGH
Swobo Dixon
Civia Hyland Rohloff
All the above are IGH bikes which share with SS/FG in only having 1 chainring and 1 rear cog. Also no forum for them.
Note too that two are IGH conversions from SS and FG bikes.
Approximately 1984 Colnago SL with Super Record
Surly Big Dummy
A S3X wheelset on order along with a Mercier Kilo OS bike so I should shortly have a bike which can be run SS, FG and 3 speed FG with minimal change time between configurations.

No photo's as yet, but I ride an old 21-speed Giant cross bike which is solid but unremarkable and a three-speed mama-chari with a seat on the front for my son.
It's great to see some of the beautiful bikes here that people genuinely enjoy riding and look after. Too often when you ask people what bikes they ride the conversation degenerates into a p***ing contest.

Forrest the folding fixed gear became Forrest the folding five speed this past weekend... am loving the set up and range I have and will be adding a second chain ring to make the bike tour worthy.

Wheels are 406... running a 1.85 in the rear @ 80 psi for it's better suspension qualities and a 1.35 up front @ 100 psi for speed and handling.
Gear range is 40-76 with a 52 tooth ring and a 13-24 block.

I wish my Specialized looked as nice as some of the bikes in here, I hate the gray/mustard combo. But at least it rides well. I just bought the nashbar threaded carbon for to replace the alu direct drive fork(which will be replacing the hi-ten (possibly bent) POS fork on the fixed gear).
65er, do you have any recommendations for taping frames or forks, so as to protect the frame? I'm going to tape the original fork from the Allez when I switch it over because 1) I want to keep it from getting too dinged up and 2) the color will look goofy.
I've heard gaffer tape but don't really know where to pick it up and I don't want to buy online.

Comfy. Fast. Took it on a 220km ride last weekend, doing a double century on it next weekend.

yes, the nondriveside decals are mirrored. inspired by japanese tuning companies that didn't want to mess up the design elements by flipping text...
nope, just a crappy point and shoot.
the new addition of course is the rack so i can hold the panniers.
