I have almost always had a bicycle in the stable, some better than others.

Was riding the Bianchi but quickly realized I didn't like the "cafe racer" position too much and it was a tad too small so I gave it to my cousin.



Looking for a more upright riding position I decided on a Public D8i.



Well, I liked the Public so much I went and got another one so a friend of mine of could go riding too. This one is the M7i.

Very cool bikes shown here!

Here's mine, an oldie but a goodie, a 1989 Bridgestone MB2, triple butted Ishiwata 4130 cro-moly steel, lugs!......you all know how I feel about lugs.
I'm probably going to put stock fork back on as I don't ride in the dirt any longer.





Like the venerable saying: Bicycling is the most fun I can have with my clothes on!

I have three in my stable, but one for the road is this: it's an oldie but a goodie. Bianchi 1885 Anniversary Edition.

That is so cool! I've been thinking about an electric bike or a Segway to add to the stable just for the fun-factor.

Dan, love the LeMond! I lived in the Minneapolis area for a while and have been to his restaurant. Of course, he's a local hero.

I only have 70 miles on my current bike but the Brooks saddle is feeling quite nice.

Great stuff on here. Love seeing the variety of street, mountain, and cruising bikes. Here's mine after a recent cleaning. 1999 KHS Comp soft-tail with some after market parts. Weighs in at 27lbs which was nice back when I was fearless and would ride up/down almost anything. Used mostly on smooth trails now.

Ah yes, Minneapolis, LeMondland. He was a hell of a competitor.

The Brooks will just feel better every time.
