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.

My Sunday best bike, only sees the light of day on dry sunny days. Built up with mostly NOS parts, DA 7400Sti on Ambrosio rims

CAAD10 track bike. Mrs bought for indoor use.
Fancied taking it out on the road. Have installed front brake and freewheel. Feels ok at 10kilos.
There's a label on the top tube with severe warning about road use.
Any ideas on how to install back brake? No drill hole except 2 small ones at front.
Not worried about warranty.

And my modern Titanium bike, Kinesis GF-Ti Disc, built up with DA on a nice set of Farsports hoops

Hit by a van at the start of September = shattered ankle and shattered bike frame. Well, the ankle may still be broken, but my bike has been resurrected with a new frame. Front end position still needs to be adjusted, probably with a different stem, but it's almost there.
Won't be able to walk without crutches for months, but riding on the turbo will be an important part of rehab.
Boardman SLS 9.8 Disc frame, ultegra groupset and pedals, DT Swiss RC 38 wheels, Schwalbe Pro One 28mm tyres, Fizik Cyrano stem and Fizik Antares versus saddle, Ergon seatpost, Enve SES Aero road handlebar, stages powermeter.

Well after a very long and mostly patient wait the day has eventually arrived and ......... it's here;
I must say I'm very pleased with the final result. The build took a little longer than originally planned but Jason Rourke got involved in some more Guy Martin build stuff across the summer which you can't really blame him for.
The bike rides like a dream, the weather has tried it's best to stop me getting out during the last 2 weeks but I did manage a good 55km yesterday morning and love it. Ride is superb, so comfortable despite the new saddle (Brooks C13....I wasn't too sure about that). Dura-Ace Di2 is unquestionably better than me, so slick and quick. Speedplay pedals are quite stiff and will likely take a little getting used to but I'm certain that I'm going to enjoy riding this lovely machine very much.......bring on the spring.

No!
Why should it matter where the bike came from...a shop built bike - how utterly preposterous?
If it is a two wheeled, pedal/chain/belt driven...or trike/unicycle for that matter and someone is proud of it, then it belongs here.
Oh, you built a bike..did you manufacture the frame/fork/handlebars/groupset?
No...oh, you just put them together? How utterly fantastic you are!
I went and mined my own titanium ore, built a furnace (out of recyclable and ethically sourced peace-lentils), hand milled the cogs and chainwheels and personally climbed the one remaining tree at the top of a waterfall, by moonlight, in a country that doesn't exist, to harvest the nuts that contain a special oil that saves 0.5W at 400W. On Mars.
Some people aren't even trying.
Super nice.
Too right. This thread has been going for years.
Start your own thread for snobs, MarkiMark.
"just 'a bike'". Fucking puhlease, girlfriend.

My 2015 Giant Defy 2. Other than saddle, bar tape and tyres this is exactly how I bought it, roughly a year ago.
It is my everything bike, from club runs to commuting and also taken part in a triathlon on it.
Currently making sure all my parts are available and fit for Vatternrundan (although probably won't take the mudgaurds), hence extra storage and reflectors, along with the lights that live on it!

Bought this classy frame (bike) at York Rally this month, forget the specialized sticker on the headtube but the downtube name seems original, anyone out there throw any light on it. The frame is in excellent condition, so much so no refurbishment required.

This one is just for fun a ICE VTX+.
