I'm a grad student at the University of Toledo.
I'll be done in May.
4 bikes: 2005 Raleigh Prestige with 105 9 speed (my "good" bike), old Takara singlespeed (my main beater), old Schwinn World Sport (beater with fenders- not really necessary, but hey), and a Specialized MTB. I have a Flyte frame waiting for a build if/when I start my "real" life.
I wouldn't recommend either UT or the Raleigh frame, but the 105 group is highly recommended.

Fall of 2007 or spring of 2008, depending on my mood. (Poli-Sci/history double, arabic minor)
Flyte SRS-3 built up with Veloce. (Pending a few parts. I was riding a Specialized Allez until it had a date with a Dodge Caravan.)
Recently discovered Schwinn Le Tour 10 speed-Likely a 1979. Might convert it to a fixie.

Graduating 08-09
2005 Cannondale R1000. Only thing stock is frame/fork/headset. 2007 Record, Powertap SL, Deda bars/stem, USE Alien SP, Fizik Arione
IRO Fixed gear with Phil Wood Hubs/Velocity Deep-V's, Campy Record Pista Cranks
2002? Trek 2300 in full TT setup
Gary Fisher MTB
No I'm not filthy rich, and no my parents aren't filthy rich that pays for everything. Everything was bought with my hard earned money, though I gotta say, your dollar goes farther when you work at a bike shop.
