I have a Trek 2100 back from 1995, my first "real" road bike. Put many memorable miles on that thing, and then recently upgraded to a Trek 5200, which I absolutely love. The 2100 has been slated to trainer duties now 
.
Here's a generic pic of the 5200...mine is in nude carbon, which I LOVE:
I put Nasbar titanium pedals on it; they were relatively inexpensive at $130, but only weigh 240 grams, noticably lighter than my old Looks. I am also running a Ciclosport CM434 computer with cadence on the 5200.

Finally bought myself my first road bike. I've been dreaming about this all summer.
Argon 18 Xenon. Aluminum frame, full Tiagra with Xero XR4 wheels.
Of course, the remnants of Katrina would be raining on my parade today, but as soon as the weather clears, I'll be taking it out for a real ride. I'm so excited and happy to finally have a road bike.

A 2004 Trek 5200 OCLV team bike with Bontrager Aero wheels for races and tours and a 2005 Trek 5000 OCLV for training. Same size same layout, the 5200 is just lighter by 1 lb. :-) Love riding them both!

Hey guitarwizard.
Norwich..but I ride in the Willi area sometimes and just started riding with TCC recently. Do most of my business with Scott's Cyclery. The 04 5200 is a great bike, ride, shifting, weight, paintscheme..everything. The new 5000 I have is nice too, but kinda' plain looking.

Was originally going to get a Fuji Royale road/hybrid but it had a lot of issues with iffy shifting that the mechanics couldn't figure out. He recommended I return it to the shop (same one he works for). Anyway, long story short, bought a Giant TCR2 full fledged road bike instead. I'll have to get used to the drop bar shifting and the paint job is a little loud, but otherwise it definately accelerated faster than the Royal and more importantly shifted solidly. Its screaming to be used on a century - but I'll have to work my way up to that
No real changes except 2 bottle cages.
