70 degrees right now. It is nice! Did about 20 miles while the roast was in the oven.

Have quite a few bikes but these are my commuters- and FYI these are shitty cell phone pics. Soon building up a CX bike for the supposedly harsh winter to arrive here in Chicago.


Affinity Low Pro (Yeah, I know it's hyphy, blah blah blah)
Sugino 75s, San Marco Regal, generic seatpost, Purple Deep Vs/Velocity hubs, Nitto RB 021




1988 Trek 1500
Mostly a 600/Ultegra gruppo w/Dura Ace rear derailleur
Dura-Ace hubs to Mavic Open Pro Ceramic(rear) /Matrix ISO(front)
Downtube shifters FTW!

Thanks. It's light and fast and shifts like butter!

Anyone here rock a 3 speed hub type gear setup?

Yup, I have a '54 Sturmey Archer AW 3spd hub laced to a CR-18 on my '58 Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix. It was originally setup w/ a 4spd fw (14-21) and a half step 49-47 up front w/ a Benelux f/d. Pretty fun setup originally, still fun, just simpler.

'84 Raleigh Gran Course

That's all I have pics of. There is also an 09 Rockhopper and an 11 Stumpjumper 29er Comp plus other vintage steel bikes

Here is the last Bike I owned. I used to build a few every year, But that is far to expensive of a hobby now that I have a family Man.
This was the last year for the steel S-works "Steel is Real" My favorite material for a frame. Rare color. I was trying to find one the same year as this one but with the ti lugged carbon Frame. Either way This bike was sweet. Full M900 XTR and the crappy front air RS shock actually worked pretty good. I will have to check to see if I have any other bike pics

Mid 80's Canondale: mix of ol' Dura Ace & 600 components, American Classic hubs & Mavic rims. It's old, but runs very very well.

I love it, but should have gone for an RS instead, as I always feel a little too stretched on it.

Now I am wanting to get back into mountain biking, but can't decided on a 29er full suspension...

Cervelo S1, last year, one of the last sold in the States. I had to search high and low for it in 61cm

[bmoores]

LOVE that bike. Cervelo will be my next for sure.

livin' the dream ;)

Triathlon's are my real hobby. Hence the TT specific bike.

and also Triathlon's helped get the girl too, she liked my legs.

so I should be thanking Triathlons I guess.

Cervelo is having a deal right now, buy two bikes get $2000 off. That being said, I am not a fan of their bikes, and the deal is destroying the used market.
