Just curious how many of you are cyclists?

In addition to the '72 914, there is a '05 Trek 5900SL, a '92 Trek 5200 and a Trek Clyde in my garage. The kids keep their bikes on the back porch.

Bianchi EV3-record

Specialized fixed gear of some sort
home built debernardi with nuovo groupset

Also have a lowrider that I have just never got around to finishing the frame.


I am really taking it easy this year. I did alot of long distance competitions and I just kinda feel burnt out. I think I will just relax the rest of the year and get back on a regular program come winter. My main goal which is obviously on hold is to qualify for kona. I know I can I have done the times to do it just not the right races.

Just like the 914, I ride the same bike forever, too. For my daily lunchtime ride at work I have the trusty Schwinn Circuit. Nothing rides like that columbus sl tubing. At home for evenings and weekends I have a Marin Verona. It is made with triangular cross-section columbus tubing. Neither bike has great history or style, but they offer everything needed using high quality components at a light wight (914?). I've had the Schwinn since 87 or so. Got the Marin a couple of years ago on ebay. My son rode my even older Sekine that I got in 74 until we got him something a little more current...
Yeah I like to ride. I like to ride alot.
But I don't get obsessive. Why, no. Look at my car. No wait, uh-oh too late.

Back in 2002, I picked up a TREK 5200 in team colors from Dylan Casey - domestique for US Postal now retired. Got hit by a Toyota Corolla almost a year ago. Now riding a 2006 Trek Madone 5.2 in Discovery Channel team colors. I wish George, Popo, and Ace were doing better in the Tour this year but that's okay. Landis will wear yellow for the US!

Yep.

Ignore the 'R1000'. It's a full Record w/Ksyriums. About 2000 per year as well.

If I stopped drinking, I'd actually be thin. If I stopped cycling, I'd be huge.

Well since Ulrich and Vino are out I am glad to see Landis winning. He looked awesome in 2004 and I'm kinda gathering from the coverage that he got on a very strict program to get where he is. He had a very good spring season.

Hincape always falls apart when the pressure is put on.

I have a first generation Vitus aluminum (glued) road racer with Campy Super Record grupo in the garage, a Benotto track bike, a French tandem that has been repainted a couple of times and two set of titaniun rims from the old 7-11 cycling team at the 1984 olympic games in LA. Don't ride them much any more as the artheritus is getting a tad too bad.

Road with Lamond many many years ago.

I worked out in Sillycon Valley in the winters and would run across him in the mountains. He was just turning pro at that time. Great guy.

Then when he moved to Mn I would cross paths on the country roads around Mpls.

It was a very humbling experience when he would look over after a couple of
hours of hard riding and say, "Well I got to get some training in, take care".
Off he would go and I couldn't even hold his draft !!!

Made it to cat 2 .

Now I just mountain bike, the drivers and roads are way to scary down here in NC.

I wish I hadn't sold my old CIOCC (Dura-Ace) Columbus SLX bike I had in college. That was one sweet racing machine.

Riding in the 'Tour de Moffet Field' tomorrow at lunchtime!
