Road:

1977 Falcon San Remo made of Reynolds 531. 60cm
Campagnolo Nuovo Record grouppo w/ 180MM Campy Super Record front crank.
Pedals are some Italian clip pedal (forgot name).
Universal brand center pulls
Weinmann levers.
SR stem w/ Ti bolts
Gentleman rims w/ DT spokes, alloy nipples.
Bontrager Ti seat (again)
Tires are Continental Super Records. Vittoria UL tubes.
Chain is Rohloff w/ drilled pins.
Wgt: 20.5lbs.

That is a cool old-school setup. Got a pic for us?

Agreed, except that the saddle seems like a bit of a fashion faux pas - I would have preferred to see a titanium-railed Brooks.

Hey... Comfort is key. The Bontrager is comfy. The Brooks hurts my ass...... EVEN broken in. I used to have a Raleigh Super Record 531 w/ a Brooks and that thing was TOTALLY softened but I never liked it. Despite the English origins of my bike, the original seat was not a Brooks, but an Italian padded leather seat very similar to a Vetta or Selle Italia. Not a nice seat at all.

Damn, I'd almost pull the trigger buy I haven't been on my M200 in months. Its a shame to have that bike sitting it garage collecting dust.

 

[walrus]

I have a Mongoose ST 10.7 Titanium soft tail (grey color)
XTR rear derailer 9 speed
XT front derailer
Avid brakes
Grip Shift shifters
Manatou Mars 1 Front shock
Stratos rear shock
Time pedals
Cane Creek Head Set
Mavic Cross Ride hubs and wheels
XT Hollowtech crank set
Hellbent handlebar

I war pedeling up a hill today when I heard a loud snap and my seat fell off. I didn't know what broke but I was afraid it was my seat post, leaving a sharp post sticking up. So I bailed but couldn't get my foot uncleated fast enough so I rolled over and took a little skin off my left knee.
Turned out the bolt holding the seat to the post snaped and there wasn't anything sharp to do any serious damage. Had to ride nine miles home with the seat hanging on with some wire.

 

[Viper GTS]

I have an essentially stock 2001 GT i-Drive 6.0. No modifications to speak of, save for clipless pedals & slicks since I ride primarily on the road.

I would like to spend more money on my re-discovered pasttime, but right now I simply can't afford it.

Bad picture.

Sorry. In a hurry. Gotta go to work. At least you can make out the blue aluminum spoke nipples.

Bought it new and have only ever had to replace two spokes.
Still has the original tube in the front.

Great bike.

I love my Merckx, but it weighs a ton. Will be nice to finally have a light road bike for a change.

Shimano XT brakes/Deraillers/Cranks
Shimano DH platform pedals

What's Eurocross? It looks like a hybrid road/MTB to me but am I right? I have...

It is a bike built for cyclocross, which predates mountain biking by 70 years or so. It is a brutally quick form of off-road racing ridden on short tracks with numerous obstacles and steep climbs that require the rider to dismount and run, carrying the bike. Europe is still the home of the best professional cyclocross racers, but there are numerous series in the States as well. The bikes are basically road bikes with more tire clearance (for knobbies), and cantilever brakes like a mountain bike. Sharp eyes will note that this bike, like many 'cross bikes, has its front brake attached to the right lever, which allows the racer to continue braking with the left hand (rear brake) while dismounting (experienced 'cross riders can dismount at amazing speeds, and jump back on the bike at a full run. Cyclocross really sharpens one's balance and bike-handling skills tremendously.

Damn that looks PAINFUL! thanks for the info. They should make DH guys carry their bikes uphill, now THAT would be funny.

Man my little thread has taken off. I hate the damn Canadian Winter that's creeping in, I can't spend 2-3 hours a day on my bike. I'll have to break out the trainer just to keep the legs pumping, stupid -20C or worse weather. Man there are some sweet rides showing up, keep them coming!
Scope!

 

[GasX]

Stolen...

[Armitage]

'91 Trek 520, nothing stock on it but the frame anymore.
It's been a few years since I've had the time to ride seriously, but its taken me cross-country east-west & north-south plus a few places in between.
Maybe this summer when I'm done with my house...

It is painful. Races are typically not more than an hour or so, but I guarantee your heart rate will be pretty much maxed out the whole time.

Another cyclocross tidbit: the inclusion of barriers/runups that you have to dismount to get over was originally to help keep the rider's feet warm since the running helps move blood around better (and since 'cross is a winter sport) and thermal shoe technology was crap way back when.

There was already a thread on that issue. A search for "scrotum" should bring it up for your perusal.

What size is that frame ... I've been toying with getting a lighter road bike.

It's a 56cm, but it was an employee purchase and cannot really resell it for a year......at least not if I want to get another one. That's one thing the majority owner of the store is quite strict about........and the frameset is hanging over the front counter, sort of a display/demo of the frameset. But, it is wicked light......but not as light as the 5900 frameset.
