What road bike do you have?

I just love how you constantly contradict yourself. First you tell someone you like colorful bikes, right after you posted your plain simple looking bike. Which I happen to like. Then you go on about being on a bike and not a catwalk. It's amusing. I like colorful bikes, and I like plain bikes. I just like any bikes what were built with plenty of thought involved. You can make a Pedal Force look pretty awesome if you put a bunch of sweet parts on it. Yes, you are right btw painting Titanium is stupid.
....wouldn't make it a cool bike.
A system Six would be a cool bike no matter what paint....
As all my bikes are Titanium, I have to admit I only have two of'em painted...One only partial.
I just don't find it practical (or worth it) having all my bikes done with several hundred $$ custom jobs...

Haha thanks! It's awesome that my whole fam rides.
Thanks and it did! All those bikes were on the floor and it took up a LOT of space.
Thanks! The wall mount and hooks are made by Rubbermaid. It's called FastTrack and you can get them at Lowe's. You might be able to get them at Home Depot, though I'm not 100% sure. They're really easy to mount.

You sir are correct. That's the only spot that didn't look so great, but actually its not suppose to be exposed if I used ALL the headset pieces then it would have covered it, but I wanted it as slammed/low as possible

I wish it were turbo. Just oil and compression gauges. Did put light weight fly wheel sti clutch and other suspension goodies in it.
Cars are like bikes, you just always want to take them apart and make them better.

Throw the stick!!!!
Very nice! From the looks of it you had better not pedal when going around turns though.

Re: New to the site and Road Biking
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the site and just wanted to say hello and also that there are some beautiful bikes posted here!
My lovely wife bought us new road bikes last month and we are really excited to put some miles on them this Spring. Hers is a 2011 Trek 7.5FX and mine is a 2011 Specialized Roubaix Elite SL2 with the Apex group(she prefers the flat bars. We've had only a handful of nice weather days here in Texas recently and can't wait for the weather to improve. We are both experienced recreational cyclists but are new to road biking and look forward to gaining as much knowledge from this site as possible!

Enjoy the new rides and addiction Dawnron1. Her trek is more considered a hybrid on these forums, despite that is is labeled as a performance road bike(Flat bar). They are both great choices and you guys will only grown to love the bikes more and more you ride.
