I'm riding a 07 Fuji SL1, I bought the frameset and have been upgrading it piece by piece with my teams deals since. the only thing left to upgrade is the groupset, and once thats done it'll be just over 15 pounds.

And now for the budget squad...

Bike 1, the beater. Schwinn Crossfit. Got it for free after my old bike was stolen, a neighbor had a back injury so I mowed his lawn all summer. He gave me his bike since he couldn't ride it anymore. Anyways, the gearshift is shot, which is no big deal since I always ride it in top gear (move the chains with my fingers) but the rear brakes are seriously messed up so I have to ride with just the front brakes which are only slightly better. Besides that, the back of the frame is bent wierdly so that no matter how I adjust the spoke tension parts of the tire end up rubbing against the frame and acting like a mild brake. Oh well. Better workout. It'll probably die this summer. Both tires are currently flat, they got that way halfway through a recent ride, it's been too nasty out to ride it since.

Bike 2: My Friend. Some sorta Schwinn something. Very nice to ride, really smooth, very light so it accelerates like a rollercoaster downhill. Unfortunately it needs new rims since the ones currently on it are probably older than I am. I really love riding this bike. This one was also free since it used to be my dad's.


I use the nicer one for long rides exploring the countryside and a bit of touring. The beater is what I use when the nice one is unavailable for whatever reason (2 flats last year). I'm thinking for a more serious low-budget touring bike that the old beater could be made into something nice, with a new gearshift and brakes and an adjusted frame. But hey, if I can manage to strap 25 lbs of gear to the red one, that's really all I need. I don't do any racing or anything... there isn't much around here, to be honest.

I agree about the dick part...for me it was warranted. I can be a prick sometimes...it happens, I apologize.

Oh...and not to sound like a prick the "turquoise" color is called celeste. It's trademark Bianchi color, some people love it, some hate it...to each their own.
