What road bike do you have?

Notices
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'm well aware of the aesthetic flaws in this picture, but I hope that we can all look past the exterior flaws and appreciate the peerless character of the bike as I do.
I was wondering how mine would look with a white saddle and bar tape. Not bad. Not bad at all.

The new 2011 team bike - stock build; obviously I added the Ultegra pedals, cages, and garmin stuff. [After the picture] I did switch the stem to something a bit longer, too.

2005 Lemond Versailles. Carbon toptube & seat stays. Steel bottom bracket, chain stays and downtube. Shimano 105 grupo. Bontrager crap rims and seat. Bike is awesome for slamming out a century or racing commuters on the way to work. Good strong bike. Not the most expensive in the world, but it does the job.

Here's my new bike. It's a Leader 717r frame that with a bunch of Shimano Sora and Tiagra parts. The Fork is a Bontrager Satellite. It's not the best out there, but it's great me as a 16 year old on a budget. I just built it and wrapped the bars yesterday.

Pretty nice bike for a high school kid. Lookin' good, Trevyn. You might want to check that saddle angle, though.

Thanks guys. The S Series has been my dream bike since I started cycling. Here's a shot I just took on her inaugural ride. Little something to piss off all you snowed in folks .

Nice Christmas present. Is it an "off the rack" team issue or one of the "actually ridden by a pro" team issue? Sweet rig either way!
