My Della Santa. This is my"old school" look bike with modern components. I also ride a Specialized Roubaix.

My Specialized Tarmac. It started out life with Shimano Di2 components, but switched to Campy Record about a year ago. I also have a super nice Richard Sachs which my wife bought me (will try to get a pic of it this weekend).
I'm not much of a road rider lately, what little free time I have is spent on the mountain bike.

Specialized Venge Pro. Very fast ride, always wants to go for a rip! Aero wheels are nice but I need to put my extra set on for every day riding. We think MX bike parts are expensive, check road bike wheel prices and we will realize maybe we don't have it so bad, lol!
Hey Christopher. If someone tells u they coming to steal your bike. Like me. Is it still considered a theft when I get there?

i worked in Vancouver as a bike mechanic for four years, mostly on high end road and mountain bikes. any time a tri bike would come in for repairs we had to rock paper scissors to see who would have to work on it.

DR released me to start riding a bicycle and before getting hurt I was riding my mountain bike on the street so ..... Got a SMOKING Black Friday deal from Performance Bicycles on a 2017 Access Bynum carbon fiber, tubeless wheeled, hydrolic disc brakes, 11 speed. Psyched to get my butt on the seat!

You don't know how excited I got when I read this. I rode 4,300 miles from Seattle to D.C. in 72 days the summer of 2016. I highly recommend the Trans America trail. I was fortunate enough to have 37 other guys (29 cyclists and 9 crew members with 6 vans) that carried our gear and clothes. Check out Inspire to Ride on netflix for a great watch. Good luck to you.

Also there is absolutely no way to train for an avg of 80 miles/day (I was a full time college student, working, girlfriend, etc.) so the first 2-3 weeks was absolute hell on my legs, knees, and ankles.

I did the trip on a 2011 Specialized Roubaix w shimano 105 components that I bought off Craigslist. I have since upgraded to a Tarmac Pro DI2 fass fass!!!

This picture is our first day leaving Seattle


Had to get a wheelie pic in front of the lucas oil stadium

Don't ride road as much as used to but here's my Cannondale caad8 back in October 2015 the night I picked it up. If you only ride to train this is a great low budget setup. Just needed tires and better brakes.

Got this bike used with about 50 miles on it. Been upgrading here and there $1200 @16.5 lbs

Worked in a shop for 12 years. Never had a good road bike. This my first one, use to hate on road queers, but man I've really enjoyed this bike this year, very peaceful.

On the 9 month anniversary of my accident and TBI, with a massive 1 mile ride around my neighborhood for training we went into this weekend of street riding with 5, 10, 15, 20 ,30, 40, 60, and 100 mile routes availible. I felt like I could do 5 miles but went for it and rode the 15 and did just under 16 miles in my 1st real street ride.


I LOVE my 6d bicycle helmet even though its a little larger that the typical street bicycle helmet.
