How old a bike are ya riding?
I was going thru some old posts tryin' to find some info...and it's amazing how many people are pushing old pedals...nothing wrong with that, it's actually cool that not everybody has to have the latest & greatest.
I'm riding a 80's Centurion...I've upgraded quite a few pieces, but it's still an old steel ride...
What are you riding?

i have no idea, it's an older steel pinarello, repainted and the serial number doesn't follow what this site says is the format. mine is on the bottom bracket and has a letter, followed by three numbers.
i assume it's either from the 80s or 70s...
oh right...my other bikes... 80s van tuyl pursuit, 70s lotus sprint track, 90s terrible one BMX, 90s ross glenn canyon modded for trials, and 60s/70s monark road/cruiser...

As others have said... see my .signature.
My MTB is a 1999 model. Before that, my bike was a 1990 Nishiki Ariel MTB and a 1993 Specialized Allez.

I ride an 83 Nashbar Tour XC. I have since spread the rear triangle and run an 8 speed with single 42 chainring. I race it CX and commute on it. She's a great worhorse of a bike. Tange 2 Tubing with Sugino crankset and Suntour xc components. Note Avatar

1960's Motobecane Grand Record. However, I put an '03 Fuji Newest on layaway which I hope to have under me in a month or so.

a 2003 fuji finest (steel)- use to be an early 80s motobecane til it was wrecked by a semi that nudged me off the road. the fuji's sora equipped but compared to the old moto it's a dream. of course now that i'm riding more i want to upgrade or at least have an alternate to ride.

'91 Specialized Allex Epic - Carbon Fibre, Al lugs, DA 8-speed. The thing's heaaaavy! Built before CF construction went high tech.
I'll probably replace it with a Louis Garneau LG7 at the end of this season (assuming I don't get laid off... I'll know by then)

I like my yellow-white '91 RB-1, of course. Even the original Ultegra barcons are great (though I've never considered myself a retro-grouch...).

My signature says it all. I ride a 84 Trek 660 Reynolds 531cs lugged steel with the Suntour Superbe group. No black parts...except for the tires.
