I m starting to like the BMC frames - their geometry really gives them a special somethig... Here is my new bike.

Well, if you have changed your mind about that Pinarello, and are going for a BMC instead, you can send that guy my way ;) Nice bike!

Allez (best Allez I've seen as someone else said) and FP3 are very hot.

I'm sure Kestrel's are good bikes but something about them always looks awkward to me.

It's an Allez (granted a nice one). Of course this is coming from the guy who started the thread with a Giant. :)

This is a work in progress. I inherited this from my Father in-law, who purchased it new in 1990. I added the STI shifters. It's a full Shimano 600 Ultegra groupset, and it's spotless. Yes, pink waterbottle cage is odd, as it was the only one spare I had, and the saddle needs to go...probably going to go with a white one to match the bars tape. It also needs new tires, but I think it's off to a pretty good start. It's a great riding old Schwinn 974! It's not a full carbon, low spoke count, race-master, but I think it's a pretty attractive ride (save for the saddle and tires)in a Miami Vice 1980's sort of way!

Love the aesthetics of the frame - all smooth and pillowy looking.

Thanks! It really is a gorgeous frame, all fillet brazed double butted 6061 aluminum. High tech for 1990! LOL Seriously stiff ride though!

Beautiful bike. That might be the ugliest bar tape I've ever seen though ;)

not my idea, it came like that

Feel free to change it. :)

Nice 974. My first road bike was a 564. Schwinn made some nice aluminum frames before they were bought out.

A Bike is a Bike They are all hot =)

Nice, I love the older S-works frames. Pedals do kill it though, even if those aren't what you actually use.

I'm seeing a lot of Not

I have a hard time choosing between my two-

Hot! But clean your bar tape. :)

-1 dirty bartape = ridden bike! Mine's a f'n mess! haha!

Hot, i thought the bartape was silver until sixate pointed out the cleaning part lol.

:thumb:

The tape's still holding up fine despite its grey-ish tone.

It's shocking to see pics of when the saddle and tape were brand new...just a lil too pristine for my taste :p
