I have a road bike (Trek Madone), a cyclocross bike (S-Works CruX), and a 10 pound wonder (Emonda SLR 10). I ride the Madone almost every day because of its ridiculous comfort, and then the CruX on rain days, and then the Emonda when I just want to haul ass and race to work. I have race light tires on the Madone and the Emonda.

You joined BF 9 years ago, and have 13 posts. Why bring this back up? To brag about your $25K+ worth of 3 bicycles? You're either filthy rich, or deep in debt, or trolling, or perhaps some combination of those.
