My ride is a Tifosi frame w/ carbon fork, 105 set, Mavic CXP 21's, 3t stem, ITM handlebar, etc, etc.I've only put it together a few weeks ago, my first aluminium, also first pair of ergo shifters.The ride is extra smooth, but can be bettered I think by a set of better tyres.I have a set of Specialized Turbo, 23's.Anyone ridden before on these?Please let me know.
2004 LeMond Tourmalet...57cm, Shimano 105/Ultegra. All stock except for my Vuelta Typhoon clipless pedals. I love this bike
I ride the same bike as above, 2004 LeMond Tourmalet...61cm, love the bike, i'm not sure why LeMonds get such a bad rap. Comfy bike, rides like a dream!
Most of the negativity I have heard has come from the "Greg dissed Lance, so he is an a**hole and I will never buy one of his bikes" crowd. I had actually never even seen a LeMond bike before I began shopping for a new roadie. In my (very) humble opinion I couldn't have gotten a better bike for my money ($850.00).
My real ride is still pending....I've been riding a garage sale Puch, but I've ordered a Leader 735 frame fitted with a Shimano crank, a Cinelli stem , Campagnolo Record calipers, derailleurs, and seat post, and a Cane Creek head set . I'm still trying to round up brake levers/ shifters and a handlebar. I can't wait! This Puch is having the same effect as ankle weights .
My new ride is a 2005 Trek 1000 that I got for $499 on closeout at Richards Bicycles in Palos Hts, IL. Great service and a great deal. Later. http://www.flickr.com/photos/aham23/21483322/

Mine is a Trek 5500 OCLV 120 Carbon Frame, Cane Creek Cronos Wheels, Ultegra FD/RD and 105 shifters. Had it for about a month and i am loving it.

This has/is my dream bike, took me a while to actually part with the money to get it, but it (so far) has been well worth it!
New to these forums, but figured this was one topic I could post to without having to sound intelligent. Bought my new road bike after mountain biking for about 6 years and finding myself in a country without enough mountain bike trails nearby (Japan). Bought a new 2005 Specialized Roubaix in June. Very happy with it. 80 miles down today on this route: http://www.magnalox.net/log/no.php?lid=10485&fmt=g
I got the same bike, but have recently changed out the wheels to Mavic SL2's - the improvement to the ride is quite considerable - the original ALX's used to flex enough to make the back wheel magnet hit the sensor arm when out of the saddle.
