What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What road bike do you have?

I wanted something kind of vintage (1990s at least) So I bought a 90's F. Moser frame and then built it up with a Campagnolo Veloce groupset. I had coloradocyclist.com build me a mavic open pro cd / campy record wheelset and then i added an Arione saddle. I've been riding track bikes for more than a year and this is my first roadbike in a while. I love it so far.

thanks guys. I got the frame on ebay for $300, the group for $500, wheelset for $500, saddle for $100... so it adds up I guess.

Just got home from the lbs with my new Fuji Newest 1.0, I know that it is not as fancy as some of your road bikes (trek madone's and stuff), but for me it fits my needs. Also I am a 16 year old who is working all summer, and is short on cash. Furthermore this was one of the few bikes that came in my extra small size (42cm). I haven't taken her out for a real ride yet, just a few loops around the neighborhood when I got home. Tommorow will be the maiden voyage. Everything is stock so far, planning on upgrading to clipless pedals when I get the money.

With my 50th birthday coming up on August 9th I decided I needed to build myself a birthday present so here it is.
Facts: Colnago CT1 titanium w/carbon stays, Record kit w/Zipp crankset, Ritchey "wet" black stem/post, BB bar, Fizik saddle, "vintage" Krysium SSC Mavic wheels.

Absolutely stunning! Could you explain to those who will certainly ask how you achieved the bar wrap effect?
