I'm mostly a mountain biker and bought this Cervelo R5 just before X-mas just to do the Death Ride (https://deathride.com) so I trained and finished all 5 mountain passes 2 years back. Sucker only weights 13.8 lbs. Best money spent were on the bikes, worst money spent were on....Rolex

My avatar says it all. Been a Specialized die hard fan for many years,then I've set my foot on a Colnago and the rest is history. I can't see myself going back to a made in china frame anytime soon now...

More of a mountainbiker myself but I do have a 2004 Merlin Proteus with Campy for my occasional road rides. Here's my latest whip, a 2018 Scott Spark RC900SL, 21.4 lbs of goodness, large frame. Just got back from a week riding in Colorado, putting on a six hour mtb race this weekend.

Not sure how to post photographs but I ride a Parlee with eTap and Zipp 304s when dry, Focus Cayo if damp outside and hide inside on Zwift if it's raining.
Having a decent year about to hit 4000km with trips to ride the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and a week in the Pyrenees. |

I only average about 3500 kilometers a year. Due to winter I ride from end of April till the end of October and don't ride indoors on a trainer any longer. I hate riding on a trainer so much I'd rather not even do it.
I have been dealing with some intermittent left knee pain this season so I am not riding as much as I'd like. I think I need a pedal with more float like Speedplay. I am currently using a Look type pedal with about 15 deg of float. My current ride is a LeMond Washoe with Campagnolo Super Record. For a steel bike it is insanely light and is lighter than most guy's carbon Specialized bikes I ride with. Next bike will probably be a Colnago V2-R with electric shifting. ![]() |

Sadly, given travel and other family obligations I don't get to ride as much as I like. But still jump in the saddle whenever time allows. This is my overhauled [last year] 2004 LeMond Ti/ Carbon.

Beware the semantics of "Made in (fill in the blank)" bicycle manufacturers.

Beautiful bike. The geometry of Trek manufactured era Lemond bikes was near perfection. I had an Alp D'Huez and Tete De Course from that time frame.

Click on short youtube of video above in Dubai.. The only traffic on this is of cyclists only. World class athletes come from around the world to train on the Al Quadra Cycling Trail.. |
