Obviously black bikes are the best.




How tall are you, and what size frame is that?


Hot.

True. Orange bikes are always slightly faster than black ones still ... but who wants to be riding around on an orange bike, right?
I installed my new bar extensions on my black bike a few days ago and will take pictures to post here.
Hurray for black bikes ... they don't get dirty so easily ;)

Nice collection grasschopper ... a bike for every situation :)

Thanks...that's just the black ones though. :D Tandem is orange, fixed gear is silver and the other road bike is primarily yellow.

That Marin photo is actually way out of date, it has been converted to drop bars (though I am thinking of going back to the flat), the fenders and rack have been removed and I'm now using it for family rides rather than commuting as a job change 3.5 years ago eliminated the ability to commute by bike. :( It did let me get a black Jetta TDI Wagon though. :thumb:

Hmm the wife's road bike is black too.

why's it always gotta be about the BLACK bikes??? BAM! Bike-ists profiling... hahaha

This might just be the nicest bike I've seen all Summer. The color consistency is off the charts, perfect distribution of white and red. But I must know, did you take the Garmin off because it's a Blue 500? Please tell me it's not blue :)

great looking bike, well done.

Here is my old black bike. I loved it but it was a bit too big. (For Sale BTW)

Now I've got a black / white bike:

Pedal Force QS3 frame, 56cm. Love it.

Here is my old black bike:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...p/d6b1d0f1.jpg

This has got to be the biggest collection of bikes in one thread in BF with stem valve caps. WTF????

Seriously. Get rid of that extra weight.

Well, I own both a black bike and an orange bike, & I'm ****ing ecstatic to be riding around on either. Here's an old pic of the black one:

...and before anyone says something, yes, I've long since removed the enormous dork disk. Also replaced the wheels w/ DT Swiss handbuilts by Joe Young, changed the pedals to Speedplays, and swapped out the bars for Deda Big Piegas

:lol:

Yah, so I'll be ordering a Red crank later today :D Unfortunately, I love ergo bars as they fit my hands way better than anything else. Might have to change out the handlebar caps as well.

you guys may laugh as your pedals cost more than my whole bike, but i love the black thing

Older Langster? Very nice. You just need a chrome chain. :P

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=212209This is my $450 special. Replaced rims with Shimano RS-10's after wearing out the horrible Alex rims. Sora RD replaced with 105 after there were shifting delays. Generic Nashbar carbon fork is also an improvment over the stock aluminum one. Brakes are 105 which are a vast improvement over the stock tektros. All in all a very capable bike that takes the brunt of my miles.

Thanks guys...Mine was actually an older pic. I just went ahead and did another one in it's current stealth config...
