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?

The green training wheel is a Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Trainer, it belongs to the shop where I purchased my bike.......

Here's my 2009 Motobecane Mirage Sport. It's nothing fancy but I have brought it back from the dead. I bought it off Craigslist sans wheels, tires, cassette, and extremely dirty. After a good clean-up, I got the new wheelset knowing that I will someday swap them to a better bike. For now, this has been a low budget learning experience into a road bike.

For the time being, I have stopped.... until Ribble has another 20% coupon, then I'll start again as both framesets will have EPS.

And my favorite hitch-mounted bike rack so far.

There are quite a few bikes posted here, you may want to be a little more specific.

Just bought this beauty for $700 shipped.



Seller says he replaced the SRAM Apex with full 105 5700 with ultegra cassette. Anyone know what saddle it is? Looks like some kind of selle italia. Also wheels are Vuelta Corsa Pro..are these better than the stock Mavic CXP22s? Stem and bars are different as well; I think the stem is some FSA and the handlebars are Easton EA30s. I'm excited

Actually it's not bottom of the line, 2300-Sora-Tiagra. But anyways, the new 10 speed is quite decent.

Looks like a great bike, good components and good condition (at a great price). I'm looking for a deal just like that.
