Wow! A lot of beautiful, vintage road bikes here! One of these days I will restore my first bike - a 70's Peugeot.
But for now, here is my new (to me) Lemond Croix de Fer:

I ride an old school Trek 470 seven speed. Just finished my first century on it at a reasonable time. It's seen many miles though, and the frame is bent from a crash earlier this year, so it's about to get replaced. No recent pictures of it.
Totally unrelated, I found an awesome heavy metal song that I listen to before a hard ride to get pumped up. It's by this crazy metal band Manowar (aka: "The Loudest Band on Earth") called Call to Arms.
a lyric: "Fight For The Kingdom Bound For Glory; Armed With A Heart Of Steel; I Swear By The Brothers Who Stand Before Me; To No Man Shall I Kneel; Their Blood Is Upon My Steel; Blood Is Upon My Steel."

It's about steel. Steel!.

Nice bike! I have a Sarthe same frame different group. Have you weight your Croix de Fer? I was wondering how much difference the group made in the weight. Ether way it's a sweet ride.

It came out to 20.6lbs with everything you see above, minus the waterbottle. It is a super smooth ride! Although the Select wheels don't spin up as smoothly as the racelites.
Edit: Is your Sarthe the orange one?
Pics please!!

My 1982 Trek 614 - 61 cm
This is my first of many Ebay finds. It’s a very nice handling sport-touring bike and has become my winter/wet weather ride.

Steel
Here is my new Marinoni Piuma (custom geometry). First steel bike, only my second road bike (first was an aluminum giant). It's night-and-day (all positive) compared to the giant. After a 2 hour ride my hands, arms, neck and shoulders felt like I hadn't gone for a ride...didn't know it could be that way.

I apologize for these lousy pictures, but they will have to do until I get out the "big dog" and take some worthy pictures. This was with my camera phone on a quick ride after work up to Vasona Lake in Los Gatos, CA. This is after I installed the new black tires, 1" quill to 1 1/8" threadless adapter, new stem and new Specialized bars. I think it looks much better now and the bars are very comfy. Oh, and it's a 1993 Allez with CrMo fork.

My steel bikes...
Built this one last year with a MAPP torch and really primitive "jigs."
Bought this a few years ago and loved it! Full DA group including hubs and seat post. Just sold it though... a little too big for me.
This frame sat in my cousin's garage for years... built it up single speed with some cheapo parts. I like the look.

Some time ago, I posted a picture of my 1985 Trek. Here's my 1987 Bridgestone 450. Sorry for the shadows.
And here's a picture of my 1993 Bianchi Europa
