I ride a 1997 Trek 5000. One of the original all carbon fiber frames. Unfortunately it's pretty old school compared to the Madone. I still love it and put well over 1,000 miles on it this year! My new horse will be a 2008 Cannondale Scalpel 4 I can't wait to get it and put it through it's paces!!! How about you, what do you ride?

You bet! It comes out of the shop on Monday. I'll post pics. I'm taking it on a 135 mile ride, Telluride, CO to Gateway, CO next Sat.

Anybody interested in a full grouppo of Campy 10 record 10 speed? 12-25 cassette, 39-53 crankset? I'd entertain offers before I put it on eBay. Brakes, derailleurs, crank, cassette.
Note tri bottle rack! - it has my diabetic 1st aid kit with glucogon pen, meter and strips.

Very nice!!!!
I have an OCR2 Giant aluminum frame that I have modified from a triple front, 9 speed cassette Tiagra shifters and front derailer ,105 rear derailer

I have since changed almost everything on this bike over, it now has Ultegra 6100 shifters, Gore Cables, Ultegra 11-28 cassette with Ultegra rear derailer.,05 cranks and front rings, compact double (50/34), and Dura Ace front derailer. Ritchie stem, I have Vuelta Corsa Lite wheels with Michelen Pro Race 3 tires.

Still has the original FSA brakes,,,, but I am thinking that one over for now, since..... I don't like to use my brakes :)
I ride a Don Walker hand made bike (http://www.donwalkercycles.com) it is a steel frame and weighs in at 17 lbs. I also have an aluminum bike that was made for me as well. Winter is now here and I need to get a trainer to "ride" in the basement.
My bike and its being delivered today is the Biria 3 speed step through. I'm so excited. I haven't been able to bike for any long periods since sustaining muscle damage in my legs My husband and I live near bike trails where we live and I've been longing to join him on the trails and this new bike is going to allow me to do so. I have been a Type 1 for 30 years and love the out doors - will be so much fun to bike now - maybe I won't have to push the lawn mower and have an alternate choice of entertainment and exercise.

I ride a Ritchey break-away bicycle.  With only a 5mm hand tool and pedal wrench it comes apart and fits in a suitcase for travel.  The wheels, seat, and seat post are underneath the vinyl separator (in the suitcase).

My skinny is a Schwinn Fastback Elite that gets ridden once a year, and my primary ride is my beloved Orbea Oiz softail, which naturally has to be with me in my profile pic.
Presently ride a Trek Madone 4.5 and a Specialized Sequioa Elite.it is a toss up between these 2 bikes,also have a Trek 8700 mtb which has a composite main frame,A Trek 1000 that my daughter was riding.Over the last 38 yrs of riding I have had more bikes than i can remember
2010 Trice Adventure, recumbent trike. I got it with full suspension, very nice ride.
My mtb is a '08 Specialized Epic and my road bike (which collects dust most of the time) is a "classic" aluminum frame '99 LeMond.
I broke the dropout on my front shock, so I'm riding my boyfriend's GT full suspension right now. It's just not the same though. I miss my own bike!
How old is your boyfriend? I was told that you have to be over 40 before the bike shop will sell you a full sus!!! :-)
