So I bought a Giant Defy 2 left over. I put a down payment on the bike just about 2 weeks ago and I finally picked the bike up yesterday. I didn't have a chance to ride it till today I put 15 miles on the bike. Few things Wow my butt is sore! First investment is padded shorts. Second, I want a mile calculator can you suggest a few? And last Clipless pedals are the next purchase of mine. Currently I have straps on my pedals which you will see below but I am really looking into clipless.

beautiful bikes in here guys.. wish I would have washed it and taken some better photos after seeing all these beauties.. anyways.. This is my somewhat new 2010 IF SSR, everything is new except for the group which I pulled off my old Merlin.. I really love this bike. Currently im testing a smp forma saddle, love it so far but I need to give it some longer rides.
ill have to try to take some better pics, the white is actually pearlescent and looks awesome when the light is right..

55.5... I just went for it with some inheritence, hopefully it wont cost me my marriage. I do ride a ton so for me it was a great investment and it fit like a glove the first time I clipped in. The 953 really has a nice feel to it, I previously rode Ti.. thanks, the camera did it more justice..

My old 2nd hand Fuji. Replaced Ultegra 6500 group with 1st gen. Rival from another bike. Had FSA K Force crankset but left crank arm died. Have Planet X wheels on there. Probably the stiffest wheelset I've ever used. Not bad for $150USD + shipping and at 1620 grams with rim tape.

Hey all
I'm new here. I just signed up the other day.
Here's my '87 Cannondale SR600 Criterium. Just took the pictures now. It has Shimano 600 all around. It rides great but it's stiff as hell so any bumps you go over really suck. I plan on upgrading to a Motobecane Vent Noir form BikesDirect when they are back in stock.

I always LOVED those Scott bars. I remember seeing a picture and it seemed to be those bars but in a bullhorn rendition. Did they make something like this, or did someone just mount the bars on a straight bar? I want to pick those up.
