My first and only road bike: Caad12 before I changed the tires to Continental, chainset for Ultegra compact and added a Garmin. Photo in an airforce base in Thailand, just before the guards chased me to stop taking photos! Love my bike and cycling!

My 30 year old Raleigh Competition 531c. Flite, Hope hoops and Campagnolo Chorus & Centaur 10speed mix.

My Kinesis Aethein. It's had an 11speed upgrade since it last graced this page: I've dressed it with a Chorus / Potenza mix. I've also stuck on a Campagnolo Overdrive 165mm crankset, because it's easier to spin. Cockpit is all Ritchey. Seat, a Flite, comfiest saddle around, especially for people who sit on the rivet a lot. And to dress it, 50mm carbon deepsets from China, shod with GP4000s.

My custom orange Ridley Compact. Now has Mavic Ksyriums, but is otherwise unchanged.

Here's one of mine, next to one of the many carvings in Regent's Park. Soz for the 'Goblin's coin purse' at the back, It had been a longish one to Richmond Park therefore needed two water bottles.

I sold this 2015 S-Works Tarmac the other day and replaced it with a nearly identical S-Works Tarmac, but with 9100, which I definitely prefer to 9000.

I don't normally look at this thread - beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that - but that S works is hot. Except for the hideous ergo bars. And the SRAM chainset with Shimano shifters and mechs is confusing me.
Really dangerous ! Car drivers do not see you on this,

seriously though, there are some stunning bikes on here both old and new. I have carbon and steel and both are fun.
I think I prefer my merckx only because and I say this carefully a lot of new bikes including mine are starting to all look the same bit like a new car but its horses for courses as they say. Any one like my bicycle

Perfection, apart from the fact that the front brake cable is too long and also on the wrong side
My trusty "Black beauty", Giant Roam 0 disc, upgraded front forks and plenty space on the handlebar extension unit for extra lights. Get's VERY dark in Norway in the winters, so the bike goes into Christmas tree mode. Not a "lightweight speed demon" but a trusty reliable steed that gete's me where I need to go and let's me enjoy it too. Plenty low end grunt for those 20% inclines, with lots of top end gear too for those (rare) long flat stretches.

Panasonic ORT18/U Titanium frame, Ultegra bits and bobs currently sitting on (non OEM) C50TU wheels. Other non OEM bits are Easton bars, a Fizik post and a Selle San Marco saddle. Yes, that is a Hello Kitty tool "thing". Best bit - the major parts were made within 70km of home so it's a local hero bike. Panasonic have a built-to-order system here (Japan) where you can get measured up at a local bike shop then choose fitments, wheels, paint, cough up for it and.... wait for a bit.
This is my second Panasonic and it's got the a similar "flame" paint job to its steel sibling. After ordering the steel bike I had a bit of buyers remorse -- was it worth paying extra for the flames? When it arrived and I collected it from the local shop any shreds of remorse evaporated, it was worth it and then some, this was my first view of the thing, some things are worth the wait.
My own brand, my own ride!!

I'll play along.
CAAD10, Campy Chorus mix, H+Son TB14's. I really like the CAAD10, been sold on alloy frames for a long time now after having so much fun with my Stoemper cx bike.

Can we add a rule that just posting pictures of any old bike is not allowed. If you can walk into a bike shop and buy it then it's not allowed, it's just 'a bike'. Mine is at least hand built by me.
IMG_0001.JPG
Unless you're designing and 3D printing your own frame, I don't want see any of this lame shit. Everyone out.
There you go. Built by me. I've posted this bike before but have since changed the forks and stuck some 650b's on it and gone through a load of mud. Love it.

These were saved from Craig's List for $40 each and including that I've got less than $100 each in them. They're top notch for my purposes and are all I need.

Just another any old bike bought from a shop. I like a bike from a shop, any sort of shop that sells bikes. I've bought a few now.
Regard the holy light emanating from above the sign shining on gods own country.

Bought this bike from a shop on the internet and built it myself by hand without looking at the instructions. As you can see it has a monotube construction with a 0x0 drivetrain with trick grip tape on the rear stays for fast descents. The saddle is the latest in adventure biking with a handle for carrying the bike up a mountain. Tubeless tyres on lightweight 5 spoke carbon wheels complete the package.
