No bike pics of me but this 2 wheeled pic is from 2014 when I was finishing a last ride before selling this old two wheeled friend; a 1977 BMW R100/7 that I purchased in 1987 and rode until 2014. I look the same, and I am wearing the same flannel shirt as I post this. Things stay the same for me obviously.

The last time I said that to someone, it was a foreign affairs officer at my country's (Jordan) consulate general. I was there to get a new passport and I handed him a pair of 5x4 mug shots - from 2012! He looked up at me - nice dude, in his early 30s - and told me there's a studio just up the street and I should go there and have new mug shots taken.
"But, I look the same," I retorted in protest.
"No, uncle, you don't," he said with a smirk.

Intro
This photo was taken by Rockstore Photos 10 - 15 years ago. The bike is a 2003 Mondonico. I'm planning riding the '23 l'Eroica (on an older bike), so for I've done some paved miles on toe clips and straps, next is riding some of the local gravel roads, advice on gravel routes appreciated.

Yes Montello, '85. Bought used in '92. Built the wheels on Mavic MA2's Record hubs. Phil Wood bb, learned a lot about Regina freewheels, currently 13-26. TA chainrings 41 - 52. Lots of fussing with ferrules and cables.
I am still in awe with the handling, the new carbon bike was built with the same geometry.
Rode the bike on Tuesday with straps and clips and had a good conversation about t riding l'Eroica with a rider that rode it.
In 2020 did 5,000 miles on it because the orange bike was out for top tube replacement and the new bike was delayed because of Covid.

Hello to everyone. I just joined after weeks of lurking, so no pics yet.
I wanted to say thank you to everyone in the C&V community for sharing your knowledge and experience. It has been invaluable to me.
I am an amateur Schwinn enthusiast undertaking my first restoration project: a 1974 lime green Suburban. This is my middle aged whim, a project for me, a bike to ride around my neighborhood.
I had the "want to" but not the "know how". Thanks to the advice I have read here I feel much more confident going forward.
Thank you to all who have opened a hub or polished chrome before me!
Happy trails!

Fantastic. Do you know if it's had a respray at some point? Only because the decals are still on 
and I thought the two tone panel finish came a bit later.
I've got an '85 Montello sold as a 'frame only' without the internal cable routing.

Cazenovia Hillbender race on 5-7-22.
Also my wife and I celebrated our 45th anniversary on 5-7.
She loves the racing environment and people as much as I do. We had a great weekend in the area.
I bought the frame this year and built her up using Ultegra/105 mech system, TRP mech disk brakes and Alpinist CLX wheels with Conti GP5000/25mm tires. It's a sweet ride.

Benefit of a supported ride was a photographer! https://www.bikeforums.net/22531812-post18938.html
I typically ride solo so don't really have other photos on a bike. Note to self, don't look annoyed at the photographers - a picture or two from the middle of the ride look awful! Chilly start and warm end photos:
