After a series of mishaps, my road bike is all good to go. A week after I bought this bike, a careless driver backed his truck over it, bending my frame, tacoing my back wheel, snapping the rear axle in half and bending the derailleur. It took me 3 weeks to get it to where it is now, and I am slowly upgrading parts as I come across them. This bike gets ridden in if its not raining, and in the Santa Cruz mountains whenever I have the time
.
-Lugged steel frame- no decals, so I have no idea what it is
-Dura-ace shifters(Thanks Iowegian!) and rear derailleur.
-Crappy Shimano front derailleur, to be replaced with a Shimano 600 fd as soon as I can find one.
-Shimano 600 hubs, matrix rims
-Crappy diacompe brakes that will be replaced with modolo master pros as soon as I can borrow a drill for the fork.
-Sakae CR crank- I want to replace it with a more compact crank so I can run a 38t ring.
-Tektro levers
-Flite saddle- will be replaced with a less beat-up flite.
What do you guys think?

Powergrips are for any bikes you want to put them on. All my bikes have Powergrips. From my lowly Centurion to the other 2 above. I've done centuries and major climbings with those Powergrips. Just as good as clipless as far as I'm concerned.

yes and yes. The frame is ok, I haven't really done anything buy light commuting. When I'm sprinting it feels a little stiffer than my Giant road bike. I'm still trying to adjust to the geometry. I feel much higher off the ground.

My 6 year old Surly CC. It's lost a lot of its shine over the years, but it still rolls along quick and comfortable.

I have too many bikes so can't remember if I posted this already... this bike has the unique ability to keep it from raining as since I built it (for riding in the rain) it's been really dry.

A Peugeot (canadian made?) US Express
Ditched the derailleur for a Shimano 3 speed hub
Freddy Fenders
The saddle is gone to a Brooks B72
(Unseen -- Novara Transfer panniers and a rack)

Fenders: it was either black or yellow (or Pink, god forbid)... yellow seemed like Hi-Vis
The accidental Packer motif (or ORegon Duck motif) was... accidental
Perhaps I'll do a custom Lombardi logo
I may go to a forward stem with drop bars... I'm just used to drops
