Post pics of your bike thread

…I’m having problems scrolling past the LeMond. Niiice.

I don’t have pictures of all my bikes yet. This is probably the only interesting one anyway:

Swift Folder, 1×9 Tiagra shifter with Capreo hub/cassette giving a Bill Killing 36-103 gear inches (though it’s 26lbs). Could use a chain retention device.

This is the one I first started commuting regularly on in London and DC. Frame’s bit big for me though.

I still like the stuff this company puts out. http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/

This is the first nice bike I ever owned. Commuted on it a fair bit when I lived in Brisbane, and did the odd off-road excursion in Sydney:

It currently lives in a basement in Australia gathering dust. It may be too big for me.

The first non-Kmart/garage sale/etc bike I owned (until stolen) was a black Diamondback Outlook (early 90s, rigid, and I think steel) bought from a LBS. I loved it, and I wish I still had it: it’d make a nice beater-commuter! I saw one on Craigslist once and was tempted. Not my bike, but I think this was the model.

My other bikes are a GT GTR Series 1, Kona Jake and a rusty GT Avalanche 3.0. They’re mostly stock. I just noticed all my bikes are aluminum. I guess I need a nice steel SS/FG.

I don’t have any real glamour shots…but here is what I call my “commuter”, a 2012 Bianchi Volpe. I just swapped out the tires for Michelin Citys though.

And this is the road bike. A 2003 Cannondale R400 that I picked up off CL. It has actually served me extremely well, and I’ve used it for I think 4 century rides this season, plus I use it for commuting on nicer days. This is a somewhat older photo, as I’ve since swapped out the saddle and bottle cages:

35 POUNDS of STEEL, baby!

Yes, I know this picture is taken from the wrong side.

Don’t worry, you aren’t missing anything by not being able to see the awesomeness of the drivetrain.

Really, you aren’t.

Oh, and because I know you all have been waiting breathlessly to find out, this is a 1993 Giant Rincon, which I believe was the first model year of this fine, fine steed. Its sleek 18″ frame is TIG welded from the finest cro-moly steel, while the fork was lovingly hand-crafted by skilled artisans from “Giant steel”. The paint job is best described as “black with pink sparkles”.

Vassago Bandersnatch 1×9 (frame soon to be replaced – anyone got a tool to press a headset in?)

Dave, I’ve used bolts, nuts & washers from home depot – it works, you just need to make sure you get big enough washers for the headset.

Its not the best shot, but the road bike is taken apart and too lazy to take separate pictures of the other two.

From Left to Right:
Coppi 7005 Aluminum “Yellow Star”,
Surly Disc Trucker – 4130 Steel,
’78 Schwinn Super Le Tour 12.2 (also 4130 steel, IIRC)

My first bike as an adult. Just your standard Trek 7300. In just a few more weeks the 50 lbs goal will result in finding it a Roadie mate.

folding bikes always intrigue me, is it set up with same reach and saddle/bar drop as your road bike? if you close your eyes does it ride just like a road bike? the little wheels must spin supersonic, need discs. nice.

love that you know about NDS picts, respect. (you still have a dork disc though)

dcv is already familiar with this, my main commuter, but in case any others want to be on the lookout:

On Tuesdays, you can find me on this:

(Yes, it is a silly picture — I was showing a friend how much stuff I could fit on the rack. The kid in the background is four years older and we got rid of that car because we didn’t need it anymore with all my bike commuting.)

If we get ice or snow this year, maybe the following:

And for knocking about town or riding to the metro:

I want to point out that technically I only own three bikes — the mountain bike is my husband’s. We have a total of seven bikes for three people. Is that bad?
