Pictures of your Bike
So, I figured that no bicycle forum would be complete without pictures of bikes! Post your photos here, no bike will be refused: Road TT Triathlon Cyclocross MTB BMX Shixie Fixie And anything else! Lovely bikes lovely, but everyday bikes interesting too. I won't post first, but I'm taking pictures right now. 
I wanna see what bikes you're all riding!
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

I've got Campag 10 speed, Force 22 and 105 10 speed.
I personally find Shimano mushy, and actually Campag the smoothest in travelling up and down the cassette, with despite the more positive shifter operation. Never found to be inhibited by Campag's thumb button on the hoods or drops! In fact I find it much more ergo in terms of the feel of the hoods and braking. I also have found it needs less care and maintenance than Shimano.
SRAM is the noisiest and most 'positive' groupset I've used but damn the shifting is so damn good. Never skips a beat and the front DR - lack of trim is amazing.
Ultimately groupset debates are pointless - good kit works. Ride what feels good, to your budget, weight, whatever.
Yes they are nimble and easy to throw around the corners aren't they!?
Admiring your brave choice of Lotto Jumbo colour coordinated tyres, very fine between love and hate on that one, even more so than the "girl's bike" comments I get from non-connoisseurs!
Gum-wall Vittoria Corsas, there are no finer tyres.
Genesis Volant 30 at the top of the Tumble climb in S. Wales.
Frame n forks brand new £97 from bikeshop on ebay, due to small chip in paint near dropout. Built up with spares as winter bike. Ridiculous wheels for winter bike I know, and no driveside pic as there's a big van to the right.

Finally got my new bike home, fantastic ride in the 10 mins I did. Focus Izalco Max 2.0 2014, Campag Record EPS gearset set to compact.
Only problem is that the charger is a tin pin electric shaver type, how stupid is that ?

At last. Somewhere to show off my Dolan.
Built this up at the end of last year and delighted she comes in at just 7.3kg despite only being 105 5700.
Still excited every time I climb on and she has helped me get loads of PBs as well as knocking off several century rides.
This year she will be going down to South Africa for the Cape Argus as well as Cambridge for the Gran Fondo and the Big G in East Yorkshire.

My Giant Defy Advanced 1 2015 just after it's first ride in November, before being mothballed for the winter. My previous main bike, a Defy 1 2014, was then summarily converted to the wet/winter bike. Can't wait for the Spring to get her out and see what she can really do. The saddle has since been replaced with a Fizik Aliante.

I see many bikes on racy tyres like Schwalbe ones and ultremos how do you recommend them on long term e.g. punctures etc. ?
It's not much, but I'm really fond of it, as it's my first road bike and it's served me well for the last 3 years..
My 2007 Trek 1000SL WSD, previous owner didn't mention it was a ladies bike but had swapped out the stem for a bigger one, since then upgraded wheels, tyres, peddles and saddle (now a racier blokier Affinity).
It's still too small for me, and the seatpost has seized so my posture is probably awful, but that hasn't stopped me from doing cornish sportives or claiming a bunch of 2015 KoMs

Suggest people strip the embedded GPS data from photos before posting pictures of their beloved steeds or parts thereof (otherwise this public forum becomes a public advertisement of where your steed can be found)
Is there gps data on mine?
