A 1986 Bridgestone 450. Purchased new from Montgomery Wards. Stock form except the generator light system (purcahsed in the late 80's) and a new seat (purcahsed a few days ago). I have not even had to replace the tires on it yet. (it was in storage for many years and still needs a good cleaning...)
Anyway - It is a great ride and I really like it. No plans to upgrade to a newer road bike in the near future. (if only I was as happy with my cars)

This is what I got.... A 2007 Scott CR-1 pro that I just recently purchased off of E-Bay.
Anyway - the CR-1 is a 56cm. The picture is from the e-bay auction. I did have a bike fit done and have changed the factory 110cm 6 degree stem for a 90cm 16degree one. I also put on SPD pedals. Other than that - it has mavic equipe wheels and ultegra components. Quite the upgrade for me and I have been loving it since I got it.

shedding fat
I've posted both of my bikes before, but as of late I have a whole new sense of re-falling in love with them. They both get used regularly and despite the weather. Both also have many things different now than in these pict. including saddle being about 1+ inch higher in both, different pedals, tires, and even different wheels.

Throw the stick!!!!
First time I've seen someone actually use those pedals. How do you like them?

Sold my '09 Scott S40 to my friend and picked up this:
'06 Specialized Allez Elite. Went from a 54 to a 52 for a better seat-to-bar height. Just cleaned it up, adjusted the pedals, seat geometry and bars. Might end up flipping the stem over so I can level out the handle bars, we'll see. So far, I LOVE this bike

I am not using them anymore, but I did like them when I used them for about 3 years. They have a few challenges, but when set right, they are as good, if not better, than the best out. Ironically, I stopped using them to try out the new TIME iClic, which I am not entirely happy with. So, I may end up going back to them at some point. They are the lightest thing out though making my lardy butt go just as slow as ever. I have only seen one other person using them, and even more rare is that it is a local guy. He has been using his set for 15 years or so.
