Sidi Genius 4's. Can't wait to try them on the bike. They feel like slippers compared to my Diadoras.

Spiffy!
Yeah compared to my $20 nikes...
Yeah, these were kinda spendy, but I needed new shoes. My old ones were causing my left foot to go numb, so I went ahead and ponied up for something better-fitting.Originally posted by: bR

Van's or AirWalks, preferably their BMX line are great. I have a couple pair of Answers that I got on a Hot Deal last year that are awesome because they can be used as regulsr sneakers but convert to clipless.

Okay, as promised, here are the toys. The pics came out kinda crappy, but you'll just have to deal with it.
American Comp-Lite, now serving commuter duty.
Eddy Merckx MX Leader Motorola
Bob Jackson 531 comverted to fixed-gear.
Steelman SR525
I didn't know you had an American - made in Minnesota with pride!
All your road bikes are very pretty. I know the Steelman is your pride and joy, but I have to say I think the Merckx beats it aesthetically. I really, really want a Motorola or Molteni orange MX Leader at some point. That Jackson is a very classy single speed.
The Merckx looks much better with black saddle and rims that acutally match. Poor thing just has a hodgepodge of stuff on it right now.Originally posted by: Don_Vito

The Jackson is by far the most comfy of my bike. The 531 tubeset is very compliant; rides like a Caddy relative to the rest of my bikes.

Yeah, my 531 Woodrup is quite a bit comfier than my Moots, even though it's ti. 531 is nice stuff for all-around riding.

Nah, I can't afford a new one right now. And even then, I am not sure I'd want a full suspension. I don't do enough downhilling to justify it. Though, it's always fun to look. I have to keep reminding myself that unlikes some other products, it's okay to have a bike that's not the latet model/year.
The big downside about bikes is that they lose their value so quickly. Keep a bike 2+ years and you end up selling it for a fraction of what it cost you. Expensive hobby.

You bet. Picked it up Friday night. I then went for a 1 hour spin in the local park to test it out. Saturday I went to a 3 1/2 ride. It is one amazing bike. Picture might be awhile as I don't have anywhere to store it.
that epic is a sweet ride.
here are a few more pics:
my old fisher big sur
my [wife's] newer fisher sugar 2 (hanging from the roof, pic flipped.
old 1980's Trek 560EX (reynolds 531) waiting for funds for full rebuild
the haro is my favorite to ride of all the bikes. it's a tank at 40 lbs, but it will go anywhere. The 2.5 downhill tires are a liitle much for xc riding.
oh, and i watched the triplets of belleville last night. It's the greatest cycling movie since breaking away. big thumbs up and highly recommended to any who loves bikes.
