This is The Official Bicycle Thread.

Road bikes, mountain bikes, bmx bikes, tandem bikes, recumbent bikes, unicycles, and anything in between are welcome.

Post up nice pictures of your ride. Tell us what year, make, and model it is. Also tell us about modifications to your bike, mileage on the bike, and other interesting facts as well.

After posting pics, feel free to leave a link to more pictures too!

For the weight weenies, don't forget to mention a weight!

2006 Felt F3C

carbon everywheres... I was amped when the weave and finish of the bottle cages went hand in hand with the frame.

the bike was supposed to come with a Truvativ crankset, but I got this FSA SLK compact crankset instead, a nice surprise as i was planning to get rid of the stock cranks anyways

hi-performance:

I will unearth and take a pic of my vintage Cannondale M400. Yep, so vintage that its all Shimano STX componentry and a pre CAAD style frame. Amazing how much bikes have changed in 13 years!

LOL, I hope you are kidding.

I will flame your ass ALL DAY if you are not.

FYI, riding on the sidewalk is ILLEGAL in many states.

Stop drinking daddy's scotch, and posting.

Also, I need to take some pictures.

I'll post here later...

uuhhhh....x2

I think it goes the other way around. I've had asshole motorists throw stuff such as full soda bottles, trash, try to run me off the road, etc.

Last year a cyclist in my town was seriously injured when some jerk threw a GLASS JD bottle at him.

My Colnago is probably twice as old as that.

OK, here is a few that I have...

Free Bridgestone MB-5. Heavy and awesome:

Thumbshifters, and ritchey fork. Bone stock.
1968 schwinn stingray:

1997 Outland Vpp:

The rear of this started out as a 90 pound block of aluminum, and was machined down from there. SO much CNC.

I have a few more, pictures later.

My Gf has a Bridgestone. She doesn't understand how freakin' cool it is. I have some Vintage Bridgestone posters... .I'll post it up.

I have the 1993, 1994, 1995 bridgestone manuals.

They are good reading.

My two Vicious bikes are in the other Bicycle thread too, but I just built this up and rode it for the first time yesterday:

Giant TCX
(pre 25 mile mud bath ride)

A few things to note:

This is my first non-steel bike in a long time
This is my first shimano equipped bike in a long time, but I think I'll get used to it

Cyclocross might be my new favorite thing!
