Pics of your bike with grungy flat urban backgrounds

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

This is as much of a "grungy flat urban backgrounds" as it gets where I live

Nice London Pride water bottle, I picked up one of their jerseys when I was in London a few years ago. I had no plan on riding that trip but the weather was so good that I rented a bike and bought the jersey and a pair of shorts.

It's quite diff now, it's being used as a crit bike so the handle bar drop is much lower. I'm running an Ultegra double, it has an Antares saddle now, and now it has Easton EA70s typically with Michelin Pro 3 Races. Also I have compact Easton EA70 wing bars.

heh, I really must explain - that pic was taken for my stupid blog on a horrible slushy winter day where I started early and left late and had caught a flat just before I got to work and couldn't deal with on my way out. The wheel has a flat and the bike was being carried home. No doofsters were harmed with/by/on this bicycle.
