I love the bikes from my era, '80s. Nice job

new to me. 2014 Specialized Secteur.

My current bike is a 2019 Fuji SL 2.3 Disc which I bought new for $1,700 from an ex-employee of Performance Bike after the chain went out of business. I just found out today that it's one of Bikeradar's Bike of the Year bikes for 2019.

The only problem I've had is the front brake squealing when hot, such as during a long ride downhill. This is my first disc-brake bike and I still don't know how to make adjustments so I'm just taking it easy for now.

I still have mixed feelings about its satin orange color. It's not one of my favorite colors but I just try to tell myself that brighter is safer :-)

My other bike is a Fuji Roubaix 1.1 which I still ride from time to time. I bought that one from the Sports Chalet for about $1,000 when the chain was going out of business. Before that I rode a Trek Madone 5.2 SL and a Raleigh R600.

I'm a new member so I still can't post a picture here.

New road bike! After getting my gravel bike, I was sold on disc brakes, so I sold the rim brake road bike, found a 2019 SL6 Tarmac Comp disc frame, and built it up for about half the cost of a new one (love Specialized, not their prices lol). It was matte black with grey stickers, so I hit it with some gloss clear and put new decals on. Eventually she'll get a professional repaint and color change, but right now I just want to ride (I didn't want a black bike, got a good deal on the frame tho). My first bike when I started riding last year was a used SL4 Tarmac, kind of nice to come full circle. Took her out for her first ride last night, love it. About the same weight as the Fuji, even with the discs, but def more responsive.

I think it's beautiful. I would be happy with black.

I've thought about repainting my satin orange Fuji black but don't want to ruin my bike in case I don't know what I'm doing :-)

This is my latest one, a 2003 Lemond Poprad. Frame is 853 Reynolds. Original components were Sora, but the person I purchased it from , the original/only owner, upgraded the whole drive train to Ultegra 9 speed, with exception of the front Derailleur. The wheels also upgraded to Mavic Open Pro/Ultegra hubs with almost new Gatorskin 32mm. Powder coating was done last year. Bike is in great condition and has a wonderful ride. I mounted a Zipp compact handlebar and Easton EA 90 stem. I have owned for a week and have close to 200 miles on it.
Just cleaned and shined, new bar tape and saddle bag.

Ha! Today is my new bike day (first road bike). 2011 Specialized Secteur Comp Compact. First owner bought it and basically just road it on a trainer (back tire is worn way now than front), second bought it 1.5 years ago and his longest ride was 6 miles. Cassette looks brand new. Only issues I could find are the front brake callipers feel stiff, so I'll try to clean and regrease them, and a ding on the front tire brake track. Maybe some excess wear on the big ring, but likely fine for a few years of my riding.

Im really liking it. I had it fitted yesterday and it made a huge difference. Turns out I needed a shorter stem because i was reaching too much. A couple of saddle and brake lever adjustments, and it feels much better. Cant wait to start putting some miles on it. Coming from a Cannondale Bad Boy, I didn't want to go very aggressive, so I chose the Secteur for its more back friendly geometry. I did 10 miles today and feel great!.

Thanks! I'm actually really happy with how it came out, and the black is growing on me. Had the guys at the Specialized shop scratching their heads because they don't sell a gloss black with blue decals Guess that means I did ok if they thought it was factory.

More importantly, the bike is fantastic!! Did a century yesterday with over 11,000ft of climbing and it was fast, stable, and comfortable! Hit a new top speed PR of almost 54mph.

No picture yet, as I have not picked it up, but bought a used Litespeed Tuscany two weeks ago. Ultegra setup... it's a 2008-ish model. Can't wait to get it!
