Just discovered that there are quite a few cyclists on the forums.
Thanks for the tour de France thread LimuHead.

So here we go:

Have been riding a Rossin with Ultegra for the last four years but this year I got myself a new baby.
Bought it part by part and assembled it myself

Nice stiff and light aero frame (no sponsors --> no logos ), shimano 105 (black), FSA and Fizik components.
Put it together in May and have so far done little over 1500 km. All black and red (almost).

As soon as I get some pictures into my web folder, I'll post my Colnago Master light and GT road bike.

Oh geeze, here we go: The frame polishing, skinny tire, spandex wearing, leg shavers are posting pictures of their museum pieces

I had a cheap $60 Walmart bicycle from China that Doug Tipple helped me buy, when I was well(er). I recently gave it away when I realized I'd probably never be able to ride it again without pain. I know it was cheap, but I liked it good enough. It looked like this, but was solid black:

Hey hey hey there good sir. I don't wear spandex nor shave my legs. I do polish the frame and I'll post my museum piece pic as soon as possible though.


Nice bike there Marcus. Maybe someday I'll build my own. It must be a nice sense of accomplishment.

I think everyone should also tell a little about the type of riding they do.

I rode to the store, and sometimes to class.

I have a collection of 10 classic and antique cycles.

My oldest is my 1885 Rudge Light Roadster pictured here: http://katzwerk.com/cycles.htm

I did a 100 mile Century in Yosemite on this ordinary in May 1988. 12 hours in the saddle. OUCH!
I have cracked my ribcage and done a glorious header on this machine. Try explaining that to the emergency room attendant! "You fell off of a what?"
Have ridden in antique cycle rallies in Scotland (1990), Belgium (1992) and England (1994). Beautiful riding in Europe!

I also own the following:

1898 Columbia Model 50 Chainless mens(restored by me)
1898 Gormully & Jeffery Rambler ladies (restored by me)
1911 Steyr Waffenrad (German for Weapon Wheel)) mens bicycle (origianl mint condition)
1950 J.C. Higgins Color Flow balloon boys bicycle (original condition)
1950 J.C. Higgins Color Flow balloon girls bicycle (original condition)
1961 Hetchins Magnun Bonum 56cm road bicycle (my favorite bicycle)
1978 Roberts 56cm road bicycle (was my brother's)
1992 Gazelle Ladies bicycle from Holland (brought home after a cycle rally there)
1998 Schwinn Black Phantom repro boys balloon bicycle

Plus an array of cycle memorabilia (lamps, medals, tools, photos, etc.)

Cheers! Richard

Cranberry, I think they are refering more to bike riding for sports, like you see in the Tour de France for example.

BTW, I don't own a bike right now. Planning to buy a nice Mountain Bike in the near future though. Not too fancy, something in the $1000-1500 class.

My 2 week old entry level Edinburgh Bike Co-op MTB:





At the moment I just ride on a disused railway track which has been turned into a walking/cycling/horseriding trail out to the countryside from the centre of town. But I'm planning on taking it roundthe forest trails that are in abundance here sometime soon.

First bike I've owned for years so I'm trying to ease myself back into it.[/img]

I'm just gonna tell you that I have a red mud-spattered Cannondale F400-600 (or maybe 800? not at home at the moment) that I got in November. It killed me to buy it in Stanford colors but that's all they offered in that model..

I would like a decent road bike but man, they are pricey.

Hey hey hey there young lady. I don't wear spandex nor shave my legs. I do polish the frame and I'll post my museum piece pic as soon as possible though.

Young lady, eh? We'll settle that another time.....

As for the my comments, I was just razzing the roadies, it's what we hairy, smelly, dirty Mtn. Bikers do.

Here's my Ride, a 2001 Gary Fisher Sugar 2. Some dude had the nerve to call it "Old School" recently! :

You shudda kicked his arse. Just like the a**hole who called you "young lady".

Dreadfully sorry. My middle name is Loren so I guess I should have thought about that first. To think, after all these years I never knew.

Henke I don't know MarcusR's intent but he didn't qualify what kind of bikes. I figure even if all you do is ride a coaster bike down a local bike path once a week it's still valid bike riding.

I don't even want to get started on the whole "bike snob" thing. Grrr.
