Although this photo is old and it no longer has these wheels or tyres on it and my daily ride to work is my Raleigh beater which I haven't photographed properly yet.

nice!

Hmm I've only just noticed, the trance seems tp have a longer wheelbase than the kona even though it's a smaller frame.

why does ddb have dual-suspension kona....in NYC???

good eye gbx... except my e-lever is monotone in anodyzed aluminum.

he is a singletrack bandit

That thing needs a wash. Not been properly fettled for about, um, 18 months or something either, eep.

I LOVE VOODOO BIKES. NICE NICK

Thanks, it's a really nice springy frame and that geometry is just spot on for me.

My stuff isn't as nice as anyone else's here (never should have sold my Kona Chute) but here is my eternal-work-in-progress cruiser:

Someday I'll have one of my new/old road bike.

I love that frame.

The extra mixte for your money is hilarious. Did you put that saddle on it, Dan??

Hahaha no! It came pretty much as you see it. I replaced the back tire when it blew, and put my old kona's flats on it when I broke one of the pedals.

A shop I took it to once said it's a Japanese frame, but I have no idea what brand. The mixte bar was added by a previous owner.

Welcome our new arrival, 5.2 pounds, 58 cm long:

The fork alone is 2.2 pounds (uncut)! I'm gonna use my old Redline fork, which is a pound less.

MORE PICS PLZ...IRO'S HAVE HEAD BADGES NOW?

Nice badge, and only one small brand decal facing forward on the seat tube.

when you say "our" to whom are you referring

Me, only to parody birth announcement

omg my new bike is here without WHEELS, HELP

put wheels on?

cannot put track hub on road bike

Time to visit the bike nursery, where they grow parts in cabbages!

Try bicyclewheels.com

bicyclewheels.com

That was a bad link

bicyclewheels.com

waiting for my mavic connect to come thru

Even if I had a proper pic of my bike (rather than a catalogue pic) I wouldn't post it cos you mocked Trek road bikes on the dead squirrel thread :(

everyone seems to hate Trek roadbikes! I have never ridden one myself.

I hear a lot of dudes hating Cannondale too.

I'm happy with my no-name cycleurope taiwanese thing tho. Paid $500 for the frame (which was a total bargain in mah opinon). Columbus Airplane tubing.

TREK/SPECIALIZED...THE COKE AND PEPSI OF CYCLING. (TREK BEING PEPSI, EWWWW)

Oh, it's easy.

Not saying the characterizations are true or fair.

Mocked for being luxury bikes-you sure you wanna lay that down, dude?(aka you see these in Masters races)
Seven, Colnago, Merlin

Mocked for being the only bikes wannabes/yuppies know (aka you see these in 4s races):
Trek, Cdale, Specialized, Lemond

Snark safe "cheap" mass market bikes:
Giant, Fuji

where does INDY FAB come into this?

or VANILLA?

also: CUTTY BRO, AT LEAST SHOW US A MOCKUP OF YR BIKE, FFS. THROW THE TRACK WHEELS IN THERE JUST FOR SHOW

aka you see these in Masters races

so, so true.

And lots of Assos apparel.

yeah, if PI is overpriced high end, then Assos is like super luxe.

Bike bro wear:
Verge
Garneau
Giordana if so sponsored

these guys make great stuff, and their factory is v close to me. They always have great seconds. Like nice bib and brace knicks for like $50.

INDEPENDENT DUDES R FROM FAT CITY CYCLES = BROS 4 LIFE! ALSO THE DUDE THAT DOES THE ANT BIKES (BEAUTIFUL) IS FROM IF (I THINK)?

THE VANILLA BIKES ARE ALSO BEAUTIFUL, NOT A FAN OF THEIR STEM/BAR SITUATION, IF THEY ARE STILL DOING THAT.

I FORGOTT. WHO ARE MODS ON THIS BOARD AGAIN??

that's like, not even a street tho, how u have streetview?

Google Footpathview. Surely we will have Singletrackview by 2014?

So it appears my last pic didn't work

http://i42.tinypic.com/wvtsfc.jpg

cool bike. pink derailler cable = excellent detail.

that looks oddly like a spot in colorado that i know.

Putting tubulars on it makes it a less good winter trainer but this local dude who hangs out in a bike store sold me Rovals with tyres for $99

is that a ti quill stem?

Not actually sure. It is Ti coloured and pretty light. I should put it through the XRF at work and find out.

It was on eBay and it matched the Dura-ace shifters and the headset that came with the frame.

Guys I have the opportunity to buy a 2008 Tarmac w full rival for a g

how do I shot

halp!!

Back alley vasectomies. (its a really good deal)

Oh I think I can swing it ~maybe~ but I may have to sell some stuff

So.

I HAVE A ROAD BIKE IT IS MADE OF CRABON

excellent

Lapierre X-Flow 412. My beloved Trek got stolen, fortunately was insured and peculiarly was allowed to pick replacement worth 137.5% of its insured value.

Bianchi Via Nirone Tiagra.

Now why didn't that work?

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/578493_10151433627144104_953485469_n.jpg

tiagra 10 speed, zora? a mechanic i was talking to swears it's smoother and works better than the more expensive stuff due to the cable routing.

That's the one. I didn't have the £ for a pricier bike anyhow, or the chops these days. The frame's a good fit; it's a manly bike & I'm of the female persuasion, but with a femme saddle it's comfy enough. I won't get to ride it until March now, but I'll be training hard then. I've been dragooned into riding the Dunwich Dunamo :/

DYNAMO.

No performance report, but I was sorta shocked at the plastic/stamped steel shit look of the latest ultegra brifters on mrs hunter's new ride.

Shimano stuff generally works great up and down the line ime, have fun zora!

So now I know what the inside of the tubes looks like. Huh.

suddenly go boom? you ok?

Nah, I got hit by a car over two months ago, I just picked up the bike from the police station--apparently they store your shit when you're taken to the hospital. Now I have to get it to a bike shop for a repair/replace estimate.

Depending on how that goes I'll be back on ILTRMB asking for new bike advice, I hope!

did you end up getting a new bike?

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3760/12088232293_2375b3c1ac_z.jpg

My city ride. Bought from a dude in the valley down in LA, shipped it up to SF when I moved here. Swapped straight bars out for drops. New brakes levers/stem/saddle/seatpost/pedals, but the bronze chainring+calipers are original, same with the Suntour shifters and derailleur. This type of Suntour group has some kind of "auto-trim" function that happens when you shift front chainrings, according to Sheldon Brown.

Was tough for me to take the clips off, both for practicality and style reasons, but this is my main mode of transport and it's time for me to start wearing adult shoes sometimes.

Oh and definitely too small for me (every time I get on my road bike I'm surprised at how comfortable I feel) but I'm pretty emotionally attached at this point.
