Good pick up. I didn't quite get the tyre print / valve, in line.... bugger it.

Hello, here is my first build in over 12 years. The frame was bought from an individual and I rounded up parts from ebay, Nashbar, Performance, and craigslist.com to make it. I tried to get as many parts black to offset the sherbert orange. Here ya go.

Haven't put this here yet.
Look 565 full Ultegra with a few Dura-ace bits and Fetish full carbon tubular wheels.
The most beautiful bike I have ever seen, let alone owned. Pics were taken before a race in Rapelje, MT. Hence the dueling banjos background.
The weave only appears in non-direct light...
The difference in lighting makes it look like a different paintjob. These tubes are no different from eachother as far as paint.
Reverse:
Seat lug madness! Waffel weave.
Three different carbon weaves and some rust to boot.

I just picked up a Vitus 979, which I used to ride in the late 80s before it was stolen by someone who very likely did not appreciate what they had. I'll be getting back out there on the road soon and I'm looking forward to it.

Just got my '06 BMC Streetfire SS01. Quite like it so far, though I was a bit disappointed that my LBS didn't adjust the rear derailleur properly - easy enough to do myself, but when they tell me they work on every bike before it leaves the shop, I somehow expect it done.
Anyway, sure yousins are not interested in that - here're the pics:
Oh, and yes, I do realise those are MTB pedals - I like them. So sue me...
Now if only all the thunderstorms went away...

Waterford 1200, Campy/Ergo, Shamals, custom Bullseye crank, Speedplays, Dean/Stronglite/TTT bars, SRP ti cogs. Oh, and a Blackburn pump.
Went ahead and had Waterford spray the pump and cranks when they built the frame. It doesn't show, but they also striped the Henry James lugs, top tube, and fork. It's a fun ride.
Cypress- YOU WIN!
That bike is the hotness.

This can't hold a candle to most of yours, of course, but this is the first bike I've owned since middle school and I'm making it my own. It's an old Fuji 12-speed, I think it's early-80's vintage but I'm not 100% sure. I've put about 6 hours of work into it so far and there's at least that much more to do before it's in really prime shape, but it's got a good frame, the hardware is solid and the wheels are in remarkably good shape (although dirty). And of course, I don't have to worry about anyone stealing such a junker.

Nice looking CAAD 8, I really like the black 105 shifters. I am getting ready to drop a set of those on my Gunnar Crosshairs.
