Show us your bike

I'll take an A for $1000, Alex.
Since we :love: to show our guitars, amps, pedals..etc..etc.. why not our bikes? I have BAS (bike AS) as badly as GAS and WAS (watch AS). Two of four for me.

I need to update the S-Works pix as it has new tyres and an X-Lab X-Wing.

Here's my other toy with updates on the E5. The full Campy C40 is all carbon and really smooth riding. The 2003 E5 is alum and a freakin rocket.

My first ever MTB, a 1989 Fisher Paragon, now converted to a commuter bike with high pressure road tires, and a sweep/riser bar to ease off the old school, traditional very long top tube feel of this Gary Fisher frame. Awesome old school welds and braze ons on this bike. Still a favorite. I need to put the original fork with front rack braze ons back on this thing.

And my slightly less vintage, but still getting old, Gary Fisher Sugar 293. I will need to replace it soon. It is still a good bike and rides well, but as hard as I ride, it is time to move on.

and the same bike in action a few years ago.

I also have a 1988 Trek 1200 road bike, but no pics of that. Hoping to replace that guy with a cycle-cross bike with an extra set of road wheels.

I dont have either of them any more but these were two of my favorites. I built the Serotta piece by piece after getting a great deal on the frame. No way I could have afforded this bike otherwise. For me it was the perfect road bike. I could run hard and I could ride all day. I just got burned out or road cycling and got tired of seeing that much potential money on the wall so I sold it.




As much as the Serotta was just flat out bad ass, probably my favorite bike was my cross bike. I could still use it for group rides or long hauls but it was unbelievable fun to take it off road. I even took it on some pretty funky trails a few times. The Serotta was a "better" bike but this is the one I wish I had back. A fantastic all around bike. Gunnar is made by Waterford which is owned by Richard Schwinn. Super comfortable and well made bikes.

Here are a few of mine. I have more pictures on my other laptop.
2014 Lapierre Spicy Team. I am the first person to get one of these in North America and the only person getting an XL.
It has the E:I computer controlled suspension system. The 27.5" wheels are awesome on the big stuff. I am going to race this one at Enduro events this year. I named this bike Francois

This is Goldie a 2013 Specialized Stumjumper Expert EVO Carbon 29er with the limited edition Troy Lee Designs paintjob

Here are half of my BMX and dirt jumper bikes as I was moving them into my new home. Most of my bike collection is in boxes at the moment but hopefully over the summer. A couple of the these were bikes I developed while working at Specialized.

I wish I had some pic's of my Serotta hard tail and a custom track bike, but they will remain in my memory only.
I do have 2 crappy photos of a nice Merckx Fuga. This was the first year of carbon seat stays. It was one size too big, but I still have the frame and fork in storage. This 52cm is more like a 54cm.

Sell it to me. I need a 54.
 
Sell it to me. I need a 54.

I'll pull it out of the attic and see if it is in good shape since it gets hot up there. Not melting hot, but more like Africa hot.
It might still have the old Ultegra octalink bottom bracket and I know the headset is still in it.

I'll pretty much give it to you plus shipping since I have no use for it.
 
Some awesome pics there.

My road bike is in my parent's shed and needs new tubes but it's a looker. Will get pics at some point.
