Just curious how many of you are cyclists?

In addition to the '72 914, there is a '05 Trek 5900SL, a '92 Trek 5200 and a Trek Clyde in my garage. The kids keep their bikes on the back porch.

I might be in on a jersey, would obviously need to see a design first. If it looks anything like the Primal jerseys in terms of 'loudness' though I'm out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ditto. Busy designs don't look so good on us paunchy old guys...

Finally had time to pipe in. Always had nice bikes, and like riding, but I keep getting fatter and lazier! Like feeding strawberries to a pig as my old boss usesd to say.
Current bikes:

Zaskar LE with misc components (all mid-grade) and interesting fork. A nolean with a battery powered smart shock. An old roommate sold it to me after a racing season!
(IMG:http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g75/GOPACK42/bikes/DSCN1775.jpg)

My ride, a mid 90's Specialized Allez, all Campy , and good enough for me.
(IMG:http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g75/GOPACK42/bikes/DSCN1774.jpg)

and my wife's ride. last year she said she needed a lighter bike so i bought her a nice fondriest frame. Monumental SAT with mostly Campy components! I have frame envy!
(IMG:http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g75/GOPACK42/bikes/DSCN1773.jpg)

We took our longest ride of the year today, 21 MILES! go baby GO!

That Fondriest frame is sweet! Thats only the second one I've seen... I really like the design.

I've been cycling for just a few months now and I have my UC Irvine team frame on order now (Lemond). I'll end up swapping all my Dura-ace components on it and riding.

Its cool to see so many 914ers on bikes!

my bike came with some cheap campy, and my wifes hands are to smal to shift to the big chainring with STI, so i gave her campy shifters and derailluers! Got a good deal on the frame for her, $1200 or so delivered....Now i am lusting after a new frame for me after watching the TOUR! I...... must...... stop .....my .....self!

Two bikes for me, a Centurion LeMans LS 12 speed that I still ride on the road. Great bike, lighter than most aluminum frames. Nothing like a steely when you're a bit bigger than the riders in the Tour. Mountain bike is a Gary Fisher HooEKoo Grateful Dead special edition. Bought just before Jerry left. Probably ought to wrap it up and store it, but I'd rather ride.

Is that the new cervelo soloist? I'm thinking of getting one this winter. I've put about 30k on my bianchi and it's not quite as good as it once was.

I haven't even riden my cervelo P3 2000 miles yet and I have had it for 3 years. It's scary fast and rather dangerous.

that looks like the new soloist. Our team almost did a total team deal on those but the guy doing the oredering dropped the ball and we ended up with silver CAAD 8 Cannondales. They are really nice, stiff and beautiful but that soloist is really something special. The bike I want after the tour is the BMC Pro Machine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). The top girl in northwest collegiate racing rode one and it was really cool to see in person. the way the stays are done is something else, oh and landis rode it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Anyway sweet bikes guys, you know what could be fun would be to have an event that was a ride and drive. Bring the bikes and bring the cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That could be a lot of fun.

searching for info on frames, I came across this thread again. Our circus schedule is somewhat lighter during the summer so I bought a bike to keep me busy on the road.

It's a Specialized Shark. I think they made them only in 2006.

Here's a pic of what it looked like when I got it.
Since then I've replaced:

Crank with a Truvative Fire SS
BB with a Truvative BB
Saddle with a Brooks B66
Pedals with Powergrips
Tires with Vredestein city tire
oh, yeah, I added a RatFink bell, too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm building a set of wheels with a track hub.

It's been fun riding again. I've been riding from the hotel to the arena and also cruising the town and longer fitness rides. I'm sure I look funny on a cruiser, but it's a comfy ride - especially with the Brooks, and it's helped me get back on a bike. I'm looking to build a cyclocross bike now. I think that would be another great choice for me while I'm on tour.

Nice bikes. I had a custom scott that I shelled out a ton of money for. The first week I had it I was riding in Seattle and a car turned into me. I was fine, but they ran over my bike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) After the insurance finally paid up it was winter. I bought some 914 stuff and still need to replace the bike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) .

I just bought two K2 Astral 4.0 hybrids for my wife and I to start getting back into casual road riding.
