What road bike do you have?

Just got back into cycling and got my first road bike a Jamis Ventura Sport. Nothing too fancy but works great for me so far and I'm really enjoying it. Added a Sigma 16.12 STS computer and Michelin Pro 4 tires (in my limited experience tires are one of the better things to invest in even if your bike isn't high end). I still run SPD so just installed a set of reversible SPD/platform, haha not the most roadie approved set I'm sure but I like them.

Just picked up a 2013 Fuji Roubaix 1.3 (105 all round).
Very happy with the bike...I had owned a Trek 2.1 before and this is light years better. Just fits my body so much better. Also felt more natural than any of the other bikes I test rode over and over...
Getting fit and adjusting it later this week. Will also change the seat, stem and handlebar tape to black:

Yessir I did.
$900 and 20% back in store credit...
Figured I'd ride it for a little and then adjust everything as needed. Really like the frame. It was between this and a CAAD10 105...honestly couldn't see a difference to justify the price.

Cool, how did you get 20%, I just bought a set of Reynods and received the normal, 10%. Maybe because of a new bike... enjoy the roads of Clermont if you can.

-saddle: Selle Italia SLR Superflow
-pedals: Look Keo carbon

Custom Gunnar Hyper-X
My road bike in the spring, spare road bike in the summer, and my CX bike in the fall. The black stem has since been replaced with a white one.

Here's my first new road bike since I recovered from knee replacement surgery: A 2013, XS Avail 3 Composite. Not sure what pedals I want yet. I did replace the girly white handlebar tape with black in honor of my now passed on, 1987 Cannondale Black Lightning!

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.
