here's my new bike (2013 specialized tarmac sport) i loves it
Hi All,
a nice little break in the weather today so took one of my little 'babies' for it's first real spin today after my frame-up build. Full DA 7900, K2 aero-lites etc.
Rides like a dream, sub 16lb, steady as a rock and really comfortable.
Sweet
Regards,
Trikeman.
Chains in the big ring please!
Ha! Well spotted - it's in park-up mode to keep the spring tension, ahem!
Regards,
Trikeman.
Ok Raleigh - in bigger rings
Will try harder next time......Doh!
Regards,
Trikeman.
Now.
Remove a bottle cage or two
My trusty old (2004) Jan Janssen, unknown brand over here but one of the top marques in the Netherlands. Recently put new wheels on it, now looking for a carbon fork with 1 inch steerer.

And my Ribble winter bike, which due to my not-so-brilliant experience with the shop had the Ribble decals taken off and is now rebranded with Scotland stickers The bike itself is not bad. It now has decent mudguards and different wheels.
I also have a cheap but quite good Merida mountainbike in the shed. A Land Rover (2x2) bike on the turbo trainer, i had to put it on the road for a few weeks but it's not a pleasant bike. And a Giant Defy which lives with my parents in the Netherlands, so i can ride when i'm there. The Defy is a cheap Sora-kitted thing, but rides amazingly well.

Hi all,
Some great bikes on here. Here are my wheels. All pics taken today after a winter clean up.
The Merida is the newbie. I'm hoping to take her out lots this year and make my sportive debut.
My Ridgeback is the workhorse - I commute on it and have taken it touring round Somerset and Devon.
My Dawes I picked up on ebay. I trundle it round town and occasionally ponder fixing her up.

wow! what are the bars on the fixie? they look amazing
Intriguing... Need better pics!
Rob
Thanks. Those are Nito Moustache bars, wrapped with cork tape: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/hb3.htm
And it isn't a fixie, by the way. The rear hub is a Shimano Nexus 8 speed internal gear hub. (Part of my winter bike strategy - keep the important stuff out of the weather.) It has a coaster brake, so no extra cables or brake pads to wear down the rims. The bar-end shifter is on the right (J-Tek: http://jtekengineering.com/barendshifter.php) and the front brake is on the left.
The front hub is a Sturmey-Archer drum brake: http://www.sturmey-archer.com/products/hubs/cid/2/id/28/specs/1 Again, keeping the important bits out of the weather.
I meant to build a cheap "beater" of a bike and things got delightfully out of control.
Thanks Rob. Since the profile shot was taken, I upgraded the saddle to the Brooks, changed the fenders to Velo Orange hammered finish alumimium, and installed a bar end shifter for the Nexus hub. It's an old steel frame from some sort of 1970's road bike. It's a heavy bike but very stable and good for winter commuting.

Best bike in it's natural habitat. 953 Rourkie.

My Vulpine Feather. Outrageous geometry due to 6 twonked disks in my back. So very short top tube and long head tube with custom stem. I take it to events as well as ride it, of course!
Certainly my favourite ever bike, and I've got to own a lot over 3 decades! I'm in love.

Winter bike looking wintery, yesterday. Of course today it's 10 degrees warmer and I'm not going out. Oh well.
Hi All,
yet another.....
My long distance, all weather, sportive, commuter, fast, light and everyday bike.
A Sabbath September Ti - and a better bike I have not ridden, for sure.
Regards,
Trikeman.
Very nice, I have a September but from when they were called Sunday. A great all round bike, does not like a loaded Bob Yak trailer though.
Here's my much loved Kona Zing Supreme. It's a bit old but it looks after me very well. A few alterations here and there (a bit of Fizik, Deda, Swiss Side etc.).
The saddle is level, honest. After I looked at the photo I had go and check...
