No pictures for now; I'll post some up when I figure it out ... but I have two bikes.

1. 2005 Giant Rainier mtb, bought new in '05. All that remains is the frame and (half of the!) headset. Currently set up as an on/off-road, all-weather fast commuter: SRAM X9 shifters and rear der; XT front; LX Hollowtech II crank; SRAM 990 12-25 road cassette; Mavic 717 on XT hubs with (currently) Vittoria 1.5" Randonneur (folding); 2006 Marz MX Comp Air fork; Shimano 520 pedals; carbon seatpost, Ergon grips etc. The fork was a great find: NOS at my LBS -- one of the 'made in Italy' ones with alloy steerer, no plasticky knobs, etc ... very light. This bike has served me very, very well and continues to do so.

2. 2010 Sirrus Comp: for now, all stock except XT pedals (I don't like 'road' pedals/shoes) and Specialized Avatar saddle. Anticipated upgrades for spring: carbon bar, Ergon grips (have those on the Rainier --love 'em), nicer v-brakes (thinking the TRP ones) and some better/lighter wheels (maybe Easton E70s) and tires. So far, love this bike; as is, about 21.5 pounds with pedals (LBS Park scale); could be a lot lighter.
