2006 Novara Strada. First road bike, Craigslist find, $280. Really happy with it so far. Full 105, 700x25 tires for commuting makes for a very smooth ride.

1985 Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra. 2014 Campagnolo Veloce 10 speed group. Campagnolo Proton wheelset. My favorite bike so far. The ride I prefer in a steel frame and the simplicity of modern components. Not the lightest bike I've owned, but living in central Indiana a 21lb. bike is light enough.

That is a sweet looking bike. My 1st mountain bike was a Ritchey rigid. I still regret letting it go. Sigh.

Hey all! This is my first true road bike, and my first post on these forums. This is a completely stock 2014 Trek Madone 2.1 with 105 groupy (shifting is a dream with these). I'm coming from a bottom line Specialized Hardrock mountain bike and a Schwinn big box bike. Just picked it up yesterday and have yet to remove the dork disc and store stickers
. Yes I plan on lowering the stem slowly as I get used to just how small it is compared to the Schwinn I road for a while, as the Schwinn was a 58' and this is a 52', haha! Not used to having a bike that fits me yet. I picked this over a few Specialized bikes and a Felt because I'm a sucker for all black 
. I took a look at some Cannondales but their straight across top tubes bored me. Hoping to get into some group rides and change out a few parts every once in a while, the saddle being the first thing on my list.
