Thanks, yeah I'm really liking this bike a lot - it's quick but sturdy, and the smaller 51cm frame (I ride 54cm road) with slightly more upright position makes riding in traffic really comfortable. It really flies on dirt trails as well.

The spokes do look funny in that picture, but I'm pretty sure it's the strange camera angle. I'll double-check that they don't look funny in real life.

Behold the power of pink! - hanging on the wall of my office. A righteous manly bike with lotus flowers.

My bike at work, right before it went into the bike locker.



Its a new to me frame! I bought it several months ago, but have just recently done the necessary modifications to add all my current parts. I used to have a 1983 Sanwa 700, but it always felt too upright, the seat tube angle was steep. This is the same size frame, but with a more relaxed seat tube angle. So far (only about 10 miles), it seems like a better fit.

I'm the orange one...

Good taste in gray MEC bags... very familiar. Not unlike my Vaya except for the aluminum.

Are those the Soma Highway One handlebars? Your bike looks sharp overall!

Right next to my desk, where I can keep an eye on it.

Nice headphone rig.

5' behind me:

Thanks much. You are correct, soma hwy one, 44cm. They are an absolutely perfect drop design, very comfortable. I think I'll try the 46cm version just for kicks when I change the bar tape (probably after a year of riding on this tape).

They are hard to get into the old school stems though. I had to use grease and a screwdriver wedged in to keep the stem wide open while I squirmed them through the opening.

hmmm.. looks like you need more work. That desk is pristine.

My first day being a bike mechanic at the performance bike shop and this is my Tern Link C7 folding bike.

Same pic as before, but this time with new commuter and space for two more if the need arises!

what all do you have on your handle bars? Do you like the weight on the front wheel?

No rack to lock onto , Telly? (or just posed it there for the picture?)

Usually ride my folder and use the train. Hoped to meet a Triathlete friend of mine for the ride in, but we got our meeting places mixed up. I saw him go zooming by from a parking lot and didn't catch him.

Good ride, even though I'm slow these days.

I know i have a ton of **** in the cockpit lol....i have a double stem setup.I have a holder for my cell phone,dura ace bar ends on paul thumbies an airzound horn and inline brakes on the top set, and a mirror ,backup light and the control/usb port for my luxos u front light (mounted at the fork crown).I've had a couple comments on how cluttered it looks but its all functional and I like it.

As for the weight on the front, I definitely prefer it.putting all the weight on the back of the bike makes it a little squirly, with the load up front she's rock steady.

No need, I am allowed to leave the bike in the executive parking which is very well guarded with no access without cards and remotes. That the spot where I always leave my bike, except when the boss is out of town and I can place it square in the middle of the parking spot!

aha, executive parking explains the beautiful old Mercedes!

LOL as I was reading that I thought you were going to say you could park it right in the boss's office!

and OH HELL YES I want to drive one o'dem karts up there!!!

I live 50 miles from my version of disneyland. They also hold cycling TTs there several times a year.

Leaning up against my bosses desk.

Nice! I was trying to get to a track day at NOLA last year - didn't work out. Hoping to this fall/winter
