I'm contemplating a new investment (roadbike).
Shouldn't have gone in to this thread - cause I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BUY !!!!!!!!!
TOO MANY GOOD REPORTS FOR TOO MANY MACHINES !?!?

I ride a Marin Redwood hybrid, with everything Shimano. I do a lot of trails, so the hybrid works great. With 700 x 38 semi-nobbies I don't worry about the dirt but they still roll good on pavement.
I looking to buy a Graint OCR Touring, as soon as I scrape up the money.

Giant OCR1 Triple (hah! bad habit-inducing for me!), now fitted with Shimano RH540 wheels, ITM Millenium seatpost and Bodyfit Viper saddle. Nothing incredibly special compared to what I've seen out there (and on here) but personally think it's a great ride and suits my needs perfectly
OCR's rock (thats probably cos I aint rode anything else though) was thinking about TCR2, but when you weigh 85kgs a couple of kg on the weight of the bike aint going to make a big difference in the overall picture
We Aussies, like Giant bikes mainly, with a smattering of top end machinery, if one can afford it
This is my racing bike.
This is my training bike.
This is my mountain bike.

Just getting back into cycling & picked up a 58cm Fuji Team 2003.
1. Shimano Ultegra drivetrain (9-speed cassette, front/read deraileurs, shift/brake levers).
2. Ritchey Pro crankset (double), Pro Cockpit (bars stem & seatpost), Pro Aero wheels and Pro V3 mountain pedals (road shoes are just butt ugly)
3. Very light at ~16.6 lbs

Hey everyone!! I'm new here and just wanted to say hi. My ride is a:
2002 Bianchi Giro (full 105 group)
Just added Shimano R600 Pedals
Other then that, all stock. Hopefully soon I'll have the $$$ to add a new seat post and saddle, stock is a little on the uncomfortable side after about 30 miles.

I bought a Mercier 1000 miles ago and it rides like a lovely steel bike. Just like the Peugeot that I put 20,000 miles on in the 70's. Now I'm old and still love the steelies but the 9sp Campy Mirage gruppo and Velomax Orion II wheelsets have made the bike a dream. John
Live in Brazil. Ride an old Tange, 2.03 kgs, with Dura Ace Ex, 1981, 12 gears, 9.6 kg. Decided to change after so many years. Klaus Poloni (probably the only independent frame builder in the country) is preparing for me a classic Reynolds Crom Moly (approx. 1.8 kg), with a mixture of Shimano Ultegra and Dura Ace parts, depending on the best price/weight ratio. Wheels, Nissin Sluli Tubulars 1977, 36 holes (new! believe it or not), 325 gr, and DB 1.8/2.0 DB spokes (bad roads), Tubulars Tufo S33 from Chech Republic, 260 gr. All the parts bought through e-bay in USA and Europe. This fantastic ******* will only weigh 8.9 kg, but will surely defy the worst road easily.
For info. In Brazil Caloi dominates the market, but many foreign brands are getting into the growing market: Airborne, Giant, Cannondale, Scott, Trek, Look, are some.
