I never noticed this thread before and I just found out that I love to look at other people's bikes. There are some really great looking rides out there that I wish I could afford. Here is mine. I like blue and yellow.
2000 Mongoose Pro Bosberg
Made in the USA
Titanium
Cane Creek Aerohead wheelset (nipples on the hubs instead of the rims)
Ultegra everything except Dura-Ace derailuer
Speedplay pedals
Cane Creek headset
just under 18 lbs
I not sure if Mongoose makes road bikes anymore but don't confuse this bike with the Mongoose bikes they sell at Walmart or Kmart. There is a "pro" in the title. The 2001 model of this bike was aluminum with a sloped toptube so this was the last year this was made. Unfortunately, the wheelset in the pic has been replaced with a set of Mavic wheels with the normal silver rims. The Aeroheads were for racing only and as it was my first serious road bike, I didn't get a second set just for training. I used the Aeroheads for over a year on every ride and that shortened their lifespan. After multiple broken spokes my LBS is certain they'll fail on me so I now only have my training set of Mavics. I'm looking for a new set with blue rims.

Hey thecoloredguy,
How do you like the ride? Next Wednesday, I go to the LBS to get fitted for a new c50. I'm going with the PR00 paint scheme, and mostly Chorus, except for a FSA compact crank. I will also use an existing Eurus wheelset. Can't wait.

Is the image on your hard drive? You must host it on the internet somewhere or attach it in a size small enough to fit in under the 100kb size limit.

the front tire is sinking into the carpet.
It's not fully pumped, haven't ridden for a week so I'm sure some air is out.

thanks
my seat post is low because well, I'm too small for the bike, but my dad didn't want me to buy a bike that'd I'd outgrow in 2 years
