Just finished my Leader build last night.
2011 725 size: 55, Leader s805 carbon/steel fork, fsa head set, Syntace bullhorns, cheap Canondale stem, Mordecai seat, leader aluminum seat post, Sugino bb/messenger crankset, Mks sylvan pedals, Iro wheel set. I am extremely happy with the build so far.

i have about 15 or so roadbikes and tandems in my garage along the ceiling....
my dads been collecting bikes since the 70's! couple old masi's brand new super nice santacruz mountain bike my dad paid over 3g's for.... tons more. we have a tandem in every style! one road, one mountain(sounds like a dumb idea) and one beach cruiser. his roadbike alone cost like 5g's! and he can't find it in his heart to buy me a beautiful e30.... but of course we have two kayaks that would sell for about 3 grand that we only use twice a year -___- fml haha.

*edit*
now come to think of it at least i have a super awesome road bike and i don't have to pay for anything done to it.

That's dedication to your passions right there ^^^^ NICE!

[steinbachphoto]

that's smart. I may give that a try with my road bike.

What do you do to so the forks don't damage your seats?

Use your shoes as pads.

Took out my passenger seat today so I can use it as bike transport. Will probably keep it that way for a while since I don't carry passengers in that car. Right rear bolt was so hard too since my seat doesnt flip forward on that side. But I used a velcro strap to attach the seat to the oh shit! handle, bike stays secure that way even when taking the on/off ramps too fast.

They invented this shit called bike racks bro. You should seriously look into it. I hear they start out at around 30 dollars.

Oh my no, this is what roof racks are for. This weekend, after getting most of the mud off:

[e34john]

Don't really want a bike on my roof, too much weight and drag up there. And I am afraid I'll see the bike in my rear view one day. Thats what my F150 is for, but sometimes I do carry the bike in my 325i cause I'd rather be driving that especially if I am taking the bike downtown or riding somewhere after work.

I still don't have an E30, but I do have a bike.
