two bikes:

raleigh 16" mountain tires -- "twisty" shifters, steel
fugi absolute 19" road tires -- "thumb" shifters

have only been riding about 6 months out of the last 12 since not riding for at least 37 years

three weeks ago, started doing a weekly 14 mile group ride (central PA hills in late rush hour traffic) -- first two weeks on the raleigh, this week on the fugi

95+ minutes first week
92 minutes second week
80 minutes third week

bikes make a difference!! or at least tires do!!

Perico,

Where did you get the picture of me watching the L'Alpe D'Huez stage?

[Ashton]

A Cannondale Caad 8 with new Centaur components. Appropriately painted Davidson Wildcats Red and Black- GO CATS!.
Sometime this year I'm looking to get a System Six or 2008 Six13 frame and begin to build it up.

But I must admit, every time I see a Time VXR or Indy Fab Ti Crown Jewel I do get a little aroused. But that's all fantasy stuff. Better to save for my daughter's college fund.

I now ride a Caad 8 too. Five weeks ago I rode nothing.

[zarathustra]

Why does nobody here ride a De Rosa ? Are they too ugly ?
I now have finished my Merak. The frame is from 2003 (old but not used) and the colours are from the famous Alessio team (you know, Ivan Gotti, my role model).

[curious]

Santana tandem - steel frame with S&S couplers, almost 14 years old. Nicknamed the Green Beast by the guys at our local bike shop.... Currently we commute 13 miles each way to work about 3 times a week. Hoping to up it to 4 times a week by September, but it's just been so beastly HOT this month that the ride home has felt like a death march some days....

[Tom T.]

Is that bra Campy or Shimano?

[frenchfry]

Nice "French" bike RTT. When you come visit me we can visit the factory, it's less than 100km from here.

[Velo]

This is what I normally ride:

Well, that would be what I would normally ride if there were any justice in this bloody world, that is.

Normal ride: Time VXRS with Campagnolo Record 10 speed (with red shifters), Neutron wheels, Time pedals, and the relatively new Time carbon bar. Best bike I have ever ridden!

Second ride: Colnago C50 with Campagnolo Record 10 speed, Neutron wheels, Time pedals, and FSA Wing bar. A very sweet bike!

Third ride: De Rosa Primato from 1995 with Campagnolo Record 9 speed, Campagnolo record pedals. This bike has a great personality, and while a little heavy, it has minimal frame flex -- when you push on the pedals, you go forward. I ride this at least once a month or so, typically for a ride along the Pacific coast and always enjoy the ride.

What a buncha sissies...especially that CrampyBob dude, who goes all apeS over his Cramp and go Slo components....weeny I say!

I have four bikes left after the buys at the last swap meet and the losses from the latest home burglary:

Huffy custom Graphite Beta I version of the funny bikes...this one is a road bike (kinda early Ti-Eatalot dimensions) made in 1990 in Dayton Ohio. Fun, Campy 8 and kinda okay, but soft (good for the tushy tho'....!) ...weekend bike, and no rain allowed.

Huffy Santa Fe beater, for chasing the pigs and horses around the ranch...REALLY FUN, and I only use the garden hose and WD-40 for maintenance.

Pogliaghi with DA8, Eurofesh team bike (from like....'92) that I traded housing for 6 months for....or...maybe it kinda got left behind as a 'thank you' present by one of the old roadies who (shacked up) lived here last year. Hey, it's a 57 and it fits...so it getz ridden a lot! All Columbus SLX, good ol' steel....no issues with this bike.

ParkPre Mountain bike that this Fred sold me for $35 a few years ago. I put a pair of good wheels (Deore XT hubs and Crampandgoslo mtn rims) on it and a suspension fork in it, but its a hardtail....Hafta be careful on the bumpz. Worth about 20 times the price I paid for it. Really dirty and full of weeds, cattails, wild grasses, etc. Been crashed over 100 times, I bet. I am not very good at staying upright, especially on the dirt.

[CAMPYBOB]

Check out that jersey, Campy Bob! I bought it with you in mind.

excellent choice, bodo! wear it proudly!

-3°f here this morning and another inch of snow last night! i'm jonesing for a chance to ride after nearly a month of bitter cold and near record snowfall.

i'm not buying a new bike this spring, but when campy 11-speed prices come down to earth i'll give it a look.

[ZigZagged]

...i'm not buying a new bike this spring, but when campy 11-speed prices come down to earth i'll give it a look.

have you checked out prices in the UK? I try to honor my LBS, but a pair of shifters is WAY less from there at the moment. So I got a set of 2009 Centaurs on the way from totalcycling.com , but I'll get the new front der from my shop to throw them some $$$ and pay them to build it. I'm assuming the 11 speed Records and Chorus are way cheaper as well.

[CAMPYBOB]

zig, i've found some online deals, but i am hoping pricing falls off at the end of the season or next winter...after shimaNO and Scram announce their intent to try and keep up with campy (did i really say that?!).

with a little waiting i'm hoping i'll get a complete group for what the driveline would set me back today. build it up on another cheapo taiwan chunk of carbon and put the douglas on second line duty.

now...do i add that missing 18 or go for a 25 in my old age???

lordy! to think i started out on a 5-speed 14-21.
