And here is my sweetheart

Two of my three.......An OCR3 ('04) my first and a 1983 Trek 500 Sport that I've been reconditioning (also use it for my trainer bike). My first grown up bike is a 1990 Trek 830 that I have modified strictly for the street. A little heavier, but a good work out bike.........
side note: like the exotics that we dont see around here much...great pic's!

And here is my sweetheart Don't you have a problem sliding forward on your saddle with that much forward tilt?

Look 585, Record 10-speed, Campy Hyperon tubulars. and waiting for a Zipp carbon crank. It's 14.7 lb. now with the "heavy" FSA crankset.

Here's my Aegis Aro Svelte.

1981 Peugeot PFN-10, original handlebar & seatpost, almost all of the following 'upgrades' were performed within 3 years of the bike's purchase (I'm the only owner); Campy NR rear deraileur, Campy NR/Record front deraileur, Campy "standard reach" brakeset, Cinelli stem (try finding THAT for French tubing!), Ideale seat (a joy compared to hard-as-a-rock Brooks of that period), original Atom pedals were replaced with Campy Record - now has Look 177 (I think), 1st replacement wheelset is/was Super Champion tubular rims + Maillard 700 high flange (no laughing!) 36 hole hubs + Suntour 5 speed 13-19 (then 13-21 6 speed after trashing myself on a steep hill, now 7 speed 13-24 because I'm OLD), now has...oh...some no name clincher rims, Shimano hubs and a nice Shimano 13-24 cassette. Just got tired of chucking $70 tubulars + they stopped making "Tub Tape" - THE BEST stuff for putting on tubulars! Oh yeah, I had a silver Sedis sport chain put on a few years ago. Probably less than 10,000 miles on it. I've got a 3rd wheelset for Rail/Trail use but they're older than the bike itself...still good enough for an old goat like me to pass everyone. ;)
"Photos on request" (it does get waxed about once/year)

Hey you know......they're just like babies. They're all alike except to their parents! That never stopped them from showing their pictures either!

04 Allez Comp Double

I got this a week ago. Trek 5000::D

Nothing very impressive but I'm making a return to cycling and am half way through overhauling my old bike which is a 1983 Raleigh something :D Still in pretty good nick after 22 years. Hopefully if I get back into cycling big time I'll buy some more exotic machinery soon, meanwhile this is a reasonable training bike.

'05 Equinox 7... This is about as road as it gets for me. It's modded out so much, it would probably be an Equinox 11 or 12, if it wasn't for the Ziconium frame...
