visitordesign: Is that your bathroom? No plumbing for the tub? That's old school right there.
ps. 49/21 on hills? That hurts my knees just looking at it.

I love the Yamaguchi! I want one of his track bikes sooo bad, as soon as I get the money, and the talent (once I strart racing) I'm going to get that frame, fillet brazed steel. He made some of those bikes used in the Olympics.

My new bike :)
Hi all, relativly new to these forums (well the road bike ones at least, I post a lot in the commuter forums). I've been looking for a road bike so that I could join club rides and to generally get a better work out in when I'm not mountain biking or commuting (an old mountain bike). After peeking at the under $700 road bike thread, I searched some local stores, took a peek at some of the bikes, and finally stumbled upon one today while the wife was buying new skis (Our deal: She gets new skis, I get a new bike).
I was looking at Trek 1000s, but this store had a 2006 Trek 1200 in my size. The listed price was $900, but he gave me a discount so I got it for $710. It's comfortable, although I admit it will take a while to get used to the new shifting. The last time I had a road bike, it was a ten speed with the shifters on the tube
Eventually I'm going to swap out the pedals (clipless), add a computer, and I may end up making some more adjustments due to a back problem I had a while ago.
Hope I got a good deal out of it, cause I expect to get a lot of use out of it

I got one too, got my March 2006. Satisfied with it.
I upgraded the wheel to Ultegra/Open Pro and someone donated a pair of old school Look pedals.

I thought it best that I buy a bike for the rider that I aspire to be. So, with my colorful new Pilot and Mom as inspiration, I think I've got it covered.

Way way too much red, damn. a white saddle would look much better. Why do you have such a nice bike and that terrible seat? A medical condition i am guessing?

That saddle is just soooooo comfortable. I really have tried so many saddles and unfortunatly the one saddle I love only comes in black. The Terry Fly Gel......

My new Cervelo R3 with non-standard parts. The FSA Gossamer crank is for Winter riding and indoor spinning.
I'm thinking of Zero gravity brakes to bring down the weight even more. It's 16 pounds 8oz. as is with the super heavy Gossamer cranks.
Those cranks alone without BB weighs over 1 kg. Zipp 303 tubular wheels would be gravy
