Here's my current ride, a custom Serotta Ti... Built in 2001. Record 10-speed with new compact crank, Mavic Ksyrium SSL wheels, Deda one-piece bars/stem. I even put the US$100 Campy bottle cages on it.
I also have my old Eddy Merckx Century, TSX frame. I originally built it up with Chorus parts in '92, but it's all Record now. It's relatively heavy, but a great ride. It's been a loyal steed over many great and memorable rides. I met my wife on that bike.
I have to laugh now when I watch a Cat 4/5 race. More balls than brains. On the other hand, the strategy and control demonstrated by the 1/2s is beautiful to see.
What do you ride these days?

I hear ya on the weekday ride issue. I haven't had one since my daughter was born, and it's still hard to justify a 100km ride once a week, let alone twice a week. LOL I made it up to Cat 1 one season, but was competitive Cat 2 the balance of my career.
I just cleaned up and polished my regular road bike and put some new cork on it for a club ride tomorrow. Can't wait. What do you ride?
