Wish I still had my Centurion Ironman from college. Tossed it out a few years ago when we moved into our new house. Now they are the hip thing. Probably could have sold it for more than I paid for it 20 years ago.

+1 I have a Specialized Allez as well, got it a few years ago when I wasn't riding as much as I am now, it's a fine bike for the miles I put on it. I weep when I pick up my buddy's CF bike, it's so light...

My whip... Trek Madone 4.7 (not my actual bike in picture) After riding mountain bikes my whole life, this bike has renewed my love for cycling. So light!!

Here is my cheap Diamondback on Thule Helium rack. The hydros alone cost more than the bike itself lols. The plan was to get my feet wet with mountain biking by buying cheap bike, upgrading it, then transferring parts to a decent all mountain frame.

29ers are absolutely the way to go for MTB.
Incredible how they roll over anything.

One day I'll have a full suspension 29er

Till then the hardtail 29er is still loads of fun.

I just sold my Trek XCaliber 29er a few weeks ago. Wife finally has weekends off so I really wouldn't have had enough time for both bikes.

BMW F22 · 04-27-2012, 07:55 PM

Decided to go with a Specialized Sirrus Elite.

Elliott@DetailAddict · 04-27-2012, 08:05 PM
