Holiday, rain you say? Here I am with a couple of friends after riding the Kearsarge Klassic in NH a few years back. The skies opened up a half-hour before we arrived at the finish.

And here's a bad photo of me with Peter Weigle after last year's D2R2 (I don't remember feeling as exhausted as I look in the photo). We started out riding together but he dropped me within the first 15 miles! As I pulled in to the finish, he was already changed, cleaned up, fed and boozed.

1984 Guerciotti SLX Columbus. Just built it two weeks ago, full campy chorus with super r rear d. Very smooth I love it,http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=415448

Here is my Giro with SLX tubing. This is the smoothest ride I have. It's a real treat to ride. It even makes riding in the rain fun.

Here are some pictures from one of my rides with friends.

Tro, you (or someone) might suggest to your friend to put some ankle straps around the cuffs of his jeans. Getting a cuff caught in a chainring is no fun. Otherwise that looks like a nice ride.

Where abouts in Michigan is this?

This if a little trip we took from Lansing to Rose Lake in Bath MI on Presidents day. It was for us about 18 miles so we did little under 40 miles that day.

great thread! lots of happy faces on bicycles - which is pretty much what bikes do right?
:-)

My vintage bicycle is being modified nearly complete.

Please help me comment how it will look good.

Thank you in advance,

I couldn't tell. The glare from all the chrome blinded me!

But it has a great aura. :thumb:

Not one of my classics, but I LOVE this bike- about 20 minutes out of the box from Germany!http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=426368

Here's me now, sigh. Since I moved from Lake Charles I have barely ridden at all. When I was there I rode almost every day it wasn't freezing. I have gained 20-25 pounds since then. Made up for it with muscle gain though, at my "new" job. I only ever seem to be skinny and no muscle, or muscle bound and chubby. I am about a day away from trying to meld the two. I am dismantling a chair in the computer room, and putting the Lemond Tourmalet on the trainer. I plan to do at least an hour every night, along with diet change. I hope to be back around 210-215 by Spring,,,,BD

Here's me in 2011, believe it or not. I am on the right, The bike shop boss in the white shirt, a coworker next to him in the Fox shirt. On the left??? The infamous "Bamboo Cyclist" Who has since been convicted for a Ponzi Scheme in Utah where he stole a couple of million dollars from unsuspecting investors. I saw right through him the second he walked through the door. He talked like a salesman even in normal conversation, which was more than a little creepy.

And the Bamboo dude...

The Bamboo Bamboozler! LOL

Hehe.. Well, The Tourmalet is on the trainer. By Spring I want to do some long rides, which is the main reason. Not to mention being healthier. I moved from cigarettes to vapor two months ago, and have not had a tobacco cigarette since. I no longer snore as badly, I can breathe through my nose, and I am not wheezing while I am trying to go to sleep. While probably not as healthy as smoking nothing at all, I have noticed a TREMENDOUS difference in the way I feel overall.,,,,BD

Is that the writer of "Lovely Bicycle" in the middle!?!?

Yes. At one point all three of us in that photo lived in the same neighborhood and we used to do some rides and other bikey meetups together. She now lives in Northern Ireland.

Foreground: another forum member (who may identify himself if he feels like it) enjoying a little rest and taking a "selfie." Do we detect a whiff of Schadenfreude?

Background: me, trying to fix my bike at the side of the road.

I like the Top Pic...Thanks

And yes, I like the the oval chainrings. I'm not sorry they're on there.:lol:.,,,,BD

Just took a very quick snap for an avatar update...

Hey all, I'm Zack, in Somerville, MA. I lurk more than I post, but I spend most of my time on C&V and Rando. Many of my bikes are works in progress, but here are my two favorites

Welcome. You'll fit right in here...

Why such a big gap in sizes between the C'dale and Pinarello? Looks to be a good 6-8 cm difference between the two? The Opera looks small since you've got so much post showing and the super long stem? Just curious.

Growth spurt, I'm thinking... :innocent:

Just finished my 84' Gazelle C'Mondial Super AA

Nice!

Good timing to do a Gazelle tag team! No photo of me actually on the bike, but here is my work-in-progress Gazelle Champion Mondial and one of me in the center on a cycling outing with my wife's Dutch family in the Hoge Veluwe (a national park)

This goofball is Hypno Toad ... and his 'new' Mondonico (AKA project bike) last fall at Minnehaha Falls.

Did Robert Johnson ride a Gazelle? Which way did he go?

As far as I know there is only one known pic of Robert Johnson, and that was from his back.

So far I have no pic with both myself and the Gazelle.

Tour de Palm Springs 2015

Did 87 miles of 102...not bad for my first century I think
