Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Ya know, having lots of unpainted carbon fiber on your car -- especially if it's a Japanese import -- gets you labeled as a "ricer"..

DasProfezzional,
Nice! How do you like the new ouzo pro fork? I was thinking about replacing my older LOOK fork with a new ouzo pro, but not sure if it would gain me anything. Plus, it's damn hard to find an older (cheaper) one with 1''.
Seppomadness, I love the wheels! I've got a set up on ebay right now (slightly dinged) if you want an extra pair. Smoooooth ride!

Dave, the Erba is looking nicer and nicer. I still haven't finished with mine. I've been havin trouble getting motivated. Actually, as soon as I get my new spray guns I'm going to get matching paint to what was stock on it, it's a purple by Mazda.

It has nothing to do with variety, it is simply the wrong forum. There is a forum for SS/Fixed, how would they like it if we started putting pics of our geared bikes there. Whats next mountain bikes?

But it's a great fork. If you can find one cheap, buy it. Mine's got a pretty large amount of compliance fore/aft (you can really see it flex,) but it's stiff laterally so it just translates into a really smooth ride.
That is a confusing smiley face in context.

Hi,
I guess that this is the one place that I didn't post a photo of this:
It's 15.75 lbs as shown.
Bought it for myself as a 50th birthday present. Since it's my race rig I've only ridden it twice since I built it, but I'll be racing it at the end of October in an 80 mile point-to-point road race.

Already posted in the Giant bike thread, but here goes. It was ditched in the garbage, and i rescued/upgraded/modernized it.
It is also quite large.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Is that the right size according to the Competitive Fit calculator?
Actually, I'm starting to wonder how big the dishwasher is in the background.. lol

Some Performance Ti skewers that I bought in 2003. I got them because they were anodized red. 
They work fine -- not great -- but fine. The wheel hasn't every fallen off.
