That Merlin is gorgeous! I've never had a Ti bike. I kind of held out hope that I'd come up on a nice, used Ti frame for my winter/rain bike, but I managed to score something pretty sweet from a foreign colleague. I'll post pics of that when I get it.

What wheels are on the Merlin?

Love the Ridley too, love how dirty it is. What chainring combo are you running?

My first real road bike, 2008 CAAD9 R5. I was going to get it in white but then the store called and said white frames wouldn't ship until Oct. 20th - and raw is the new white, right?

Looks like Open Pros on something Campy.

I will snap shots of my roadie tomorrow.

Here's my CX bike.



This was my first favorite roadie. Sad it's gone, but the bike I will post later rides really nicely.



Here is the bike I replaced the IRD with, but hated the harshness and sold it for my Speciale Carbon.

Yup Campy Record Hubs and Open Pros. I love that bike That origin8 is nice - is that aluminum or carbon?

I think it's alloy with carbon rear stays, and a carbon fork, yes?
I love my Giant hardtail that's built the same way, so that CX bike must ride amazingly.

Yeti Road Project


Trek Soho

That Yeti is sick!!!

[LordOpie]

That Trek Soho is sick!!

And I mean that in both good and bad ways

I love everything about it! It's like one of those ugly puppies that are actually cute.

New Surly LHT...

[Wumpus]

Has black bar tape and a red saddle bag now. The tires might match now, too. I think Opie is copying me.

[LordOpie]

You're a good role model, so why not?!

PS: new photos against a neutral background also, close up of the fork and seat stays.
