That's one fine machine......I'm drooling.

My new Cervelo
Cool bike. Forgive me if there's some aspect to this that I'm ignorant of, but why is your stand-over height a good 8" less than your inseam? Just curious why you'd pick a bike that small.

Heres mine! Nothing overly fancy, but it rides well. 2007 Tommaso Monza. Looking to build a carbon bike soon.

I am 183 cm 6 feet, the bike is a 57 cm. It is not small at all. It is very low at the front because of the shortish TT headtube and the 650 wheels. It lets me get a huge drop from the seat to bars.

Custom steel Anvil (http://www.anvilbikes.com/), the best, most affordable custom bike ever.
55.5cm
Reynolds Ouzo Pro
Columbus Carve carbon monostay
9spd DA, 54/42 rings, 11-23 cassette
Zipp 404s
Zipp cranks
17.8lbs.

(changed the bar tape to solid black since this pic, too)

May I ask what kind of pedal you use in the photo?
Thanks

My classic here. This is what you get with someone low on money paying for their own bike, not pretty.

(I put new rims on after that picture)

A lot of aluminum riders here ..............

Guess they've never ridden a well designed steel frame ......

And don't give me any BS about weight ........ unless you are a Cat. 1/2 racer, having a 17 lb bike doesn't help you at all ........ it is just bragging rights.

Trying racing an aluminum frame on crappy roads for 50+ miles, then do it on a steel bike. MUCH more comffortable on the steel ........===========================================================
My ALLOY Bikes win over my STEEL bikes any day:) . At present I've got 2 aluminium framed bikes - training bike and racing bike(both with carbon forks) and have got a well designed steel framed bike(had it for 11 years but don't ride it now) and have had other steel framed bikes - Pinarello, Raleigh, Carlton etc.
Would rather have the alloys anyday - even on rougher roads.

Yeah me too. Much happier on the aluminum Fondriest with carbon than on the old steel bike I had.

Well of course, you are riding a Fondriest. In any configutation a Fondriest is always the right choice.

full Columbus aluminium frameset with Columbus carbon rear end and Columbus carbon fork. Full Campagnolo Record groupset and Mavic Ksyrium SL wheelset. look pedels

heres mine, Specialized Tarmac Comp - 05' I believe. My first bike. Love it, but then again it's my first bike. I road my freinds Roubiax a couple of times but find this much better for me.

Ummm... Yeah.


Learn how to spell.
Learn how to construct a sentence.
Don't jump to the idiotic conclusion that 1 and 2 are attempts by an American to "police the world" (i'm just tired of morons regardless of their nationality).
Maybe go for a ride or get laid (or something else to help with the anger).
Stop stereotyoing Americans. It's tiresome.
Have a nice day.

Ummm... Yeah.
