Here's a pic of me with my main road bike. I'll post some more with others when I take them.

My current ride - 2010 Trek 1.5


It has lost the stock seat, replaced with a Specialized piece. I also have new pedals. The rest is pretty much the same.
Me:

I also have a couple of pictures of my Cannondale M400 and my old Diamondback Viper. I'll dig those up later. May sell the Viper to make room for another road bike. That way my M400 can go back to knobbies.

Hello all, name's Tim. I'm new arrival in Austin and pretty much new to biking. Used to do mountain biking back in the mid 90's, but I'm older and fat now trying to get in shape.
Anyways, here's the bike:

I'm looking to get a road bike in a few months...kinda leaning towards a Felt Z100 or F85.

I am into Touring, Long-Distance, and commuting. Looking for others in the DFW area to ride with. If your one of them, shoot me a message and we'll hook up..

This is me at a TT in Denton. I picked up the San Jose kit on CL when I was living in Austin. Just got the Litespeed in June; love it! Upgraded straight from 90's steel to today's carbon.

and this is my around-town Univega fixed gear conversion:

hey guys, new guy. i am in corpus christi, actually, flour bluff. i am right at the causeway to get on padre island and that causeway is one of my most used rides because it is 8 miles round trip to the base of the bridge and back with 4 of it in 30mph winds.
i have a specialized expedition sport that i use for riding with the family and the exercising i have been doing since i strained my knee playing basketball three weeks ago. doc said no running or high impact stuff but biking was ok so i started hitting it up, 7-12 miles a day. no pics of it though, oddly. i have pics of everything else in the world.
here is my ealry 90s gt pro series or series one, i cannot remember which model it is. its red because some jack--- stole it and painted it red and was riding it for a few months. i saw it at a supermarket and went and got security and we waited for him to come back to get it on and they grabbed him. anyways, it came back to me red and with some cheapo walmart tires on it. at least it came back.

here is the maruishi i just bought. i had to put it in the shop to get tuned up and the back rim trued. i have only gotten to ride it around the block on the test ride but it was nice.

Here's my Trek 7100 that I commute on. Full time bike commuting and utility riding since my $500 beater cracked its block in March, off and on since 2011. Dropped 11 pounds since March, and if the rest of me ever starts catching up with my calves, I should have no trouble finding myself a sugar mama at the local college. 



None of the bike's lights are on in these; that's all phone flash on reflectives. I have a Bell Radian set on there, plus a 250 lumen LED flashlight up front and a Radbot 1000 in back, but it's comforting to know the bike is still very visible if the batteries die.
