I am old (70) and my bike is showing it's age too but I still ride it from time to time. Rode it yesterday. Also fell yesterday when "got no hands" riding. LOL
It is Centurion Sport DLX and it is still very swift and a great bike to have.
I also use it with a Blackman TrakStand for indoor cycling while Winter winter blow from the North but in the high 90's today, I just looked at it.

I've been riding for years but the mileage is down now. My legs are just not responding like they used to. My "new" bike is a '96 Waterford that i got after being run over by a Mazda pickup that destroyed my old Bianchi. My other bike is an old Schwinn Sierra mtn bike that I use when the weather is not so nice. I ride the local roads and there are way too many hills here. I'm putting on about 2k miles a year. I ride for my health: The two time I have been in the ER were from bicycling "accidents". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I love to ride but am too cheap to buy "good" bikes so I'm always on my Mongoose rockadile and old scwinn 10 speed. I ride probably 150-200 miles per week, with about 50 of that offroad in the state parks around my house

Yeah, I'm a bike weenie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Competed on mountain bikes and started road riding for conditioning and discovered I liked the road also. Managed a few sweet wins over the years. Now I just challenge myself the best I can for the time I have doing T-shirt rides.

I have never found a replacement for what the bike brings to me.

Here's my bianchi with a nice wheelset waiting for me to get off work to go ride. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My favorite is the Lightspeed hardtail with micro XT.

Next to it is the full suspension AMP B4 with full on XTR. It's only a pound heavier than the litespeed.

Tipping my hand here...

Handbuilt Columbus SL frame, with Shimano600. And a Bridgestone MB-3 mountain bike. Yeah, it's been quite a while since I last bought a bike. I used to ride a good deal, rode with my college cycling team (not rated), but that was a long time ago, and a much better knee away.

I rode 20 miles per day for a couple years on the southern Oregon coast. Every afternoon ride home was a horrible headwind. I would rather climb a hill than fight a headwind! Every once in a while I would get a tail wind going home, which made for a fast trip. But it always meant I was going to be riding in the rain next day or two!

I got tired of road riding. I like mountain biking. Was pretty serious into that for a number of years. My dad was a partner in a mountain bike company (Interloc Racing Design). He engineered some pretty cool stuff. I still have one of their light-weight full suspension bikes, and a prototype "stroker."

Tomorrow I'm putting some new rubber on my "Yugoslobberin" folding bike I bought for 50 bucks. It only weighs about 40 lbs. Here it is with it's twin a friend owns. Yep, that's a race number on it.

Along with a 914 in my garage, I also have:

Circa 1989 Vitus with a mix of Campy Athena and C-Record, now converted to a singlespeed

TST Ti road bike with Campy Chorus

TST Ti mountain bike with a mix of components

Kona singlespeed mountain.

I raced on the road for a couple years, stopped, and then discovered mountain biking. Raced recreationly down in California for a few years, but since moving to Oregon, haven't done much on the bike. Just tool around on the Vitus for fun, and run more than I ride these days. The more I work on the 914, the less I ride, and vice versa.

I have a mid-70's Specialized in garage. I used to ride quite a bit before moving to Sacramento. Been trying to convince myself that riding in 100+ temperatures should be no problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I like riding don't do as much as I used to but I still get out every now and then.

I have an Orbea with Shimano Campy Mix, a custom Jamis mountain bike and Cannondale trials bike. I have always loved trials more than anything but I got into road biking a few years ago and have really enjoyed it also.

Pics when the sun comes up.

All of my bikes live in the house, how about you guys.

What a good idea for a thread! I've just gotten back into cycling in a pretty big way this year. I rode for the school team on the road this year and have yet to finisih with the peloton:);however, i am getting in a lot better shape for mtn biking and that is where it's at right now. Jsut spent the weekend in oakridge learning some of the best trails around. Lots of fun to just get away from it all.
My bikes include a 2004 specialized Allez comp with full ultegra and a dura-ace rear.
My mtn bike is a 2005 specialized rockhopper with deore and an upgraded fork. Hope to replace this one soon with a new cannondale Rush. I'm working at a local bike shop now and hopefully that will help enough to swing the new one. Anyway cool thread, party on.

I have an old steel-frame Specialized Allez that just got me from Seattle to Portland last weekend (9000 riders this year on that ride, wow). First time for me for the STP, legs can still feel it.

I like to mountain bike better though, I have a Mrazek HT for that, which is a funky hardtail frame. All curved ovalized aluminum except for the necessary seat and steering tube straights, I like it.

'05 Giant Trance 3. My first full susp MTB and I love it! Should have replaced that hardtail long ago. I try to go out at least twice a week. Here is a pic of my bike when I just brought it home. Yes, it was around X-mass time ...
Been thinking about bike rack options for my 914-8 project. That would be cool.
