Trek 2200 with Toupe saddle and Neuvation M28 Aero 2 wheels with Gatorskins. Some Look pedals next month. Had planned on getting a 1500 but this pup was knocked down $400 for a 06 model so I bit the bullet and have yet to regret it.
Taken on a simple P&S. Reshooting with the SLR soon.
Not as glamorous as others but it's my first and I love the way it rides. Thinking about powdercoating a spoke or two red or something else. Any suggestions or comments appreciated.

Ben's Cycling store. I think Ben offers a nice line of products at

I was getting the LTA(Ti), which was what I ordered, but ended up
with the H1. Of course I was totally OK with that. They look different,
but I don't believe there's any real change in quality.
Price was $299. Price in Norway would be closer to $450

Lectron - what kind of bar tape are you using on your bike?
BTW, if there was a "Pimp my Ride" for bikes, you would win.

junior gearing sucks. I do understand the whole 'save your knees' thing but everyone has a natural cadence which they should be comfortable at.

Stem is Deda Newton, bars are Deda Newton, spacers are ultralight cnc'ed carbon, fork is gonna be EC90 SLX, groupset will eventually change to Rival/DA, seatpost will be KCNC TI lite, a few other little things and I'm hoping to drop a kilo off it.
