Poll: What brand of road bike do members ride?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

None of the above. Raleigh and vintage Schwinn here (although I'm getting rid of the Schwinn soon).

Alright I have to ask. What's wrong with Pinerallo? My LBS has a few Pinarello's that I've been lusting over as an eventual upgrade over my current ride. What's wrong with them and should I just avoid them?

Giant is not listed and I'm too embarrassed to admit my other bike is a T**k.

None of the above ... although I did own a Cannondale briefly many years ago.

Currently I own ...

Marinoni
Hasa
Thorn
Giant
Shogun
GT
Venture
Malvern Star

and half a Santana.

As for picking a favourite ... very hard to do.
