I ride a pre Trek Zurich, when it was still all steel. I love my bike. It's now a classic!

I just picked up an '88 Trek 360 today and I think I'm in love. It seems like a really good ride. 'Specially for a guy my size (6'6" 260lbs). The top bar is about 2.5" lower than my crotch, which I guess isn't all that bad, considering I have a 35" inseam.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

About right, actually, if the top tube is long enough. That adjustable stem will help a lot though.

Back in the day it was Sekine, Sekine built some of their bikes in Japan, and some in Canada, I had a red one, many that bike was fast......
Today, well I ride a Norco, and am generally happy with it, except that it's heavy, and needs some work....

Trek then Cervelo. I want a Pinarello but it is too pricey.

Litespeed.
I have two Litespeed Ultimates. I love them.
I also love measuring work done on a ride and favor the PowerTap system for doing that although I have tried a couple of other systems as well.
I have an S-Works Specialized but prefer the Litespeeds.
My offroad bike is a Specialized.
I just went out for a short ride on my favorite from the early 1980s, the Olmo Olympic model.
Favorite in the 1970s was the Raleigh Pro track bike.
