My commuter gets the most miles. It's a Gunnar Crosshairs with Record 9, Avid Shorty 6 squealers, Joe Young wheels (PW hubs, supercomp, Velocity Deep V), Niterider HID with universal taillight, PB Superflash, PB fenders with a mud and "buddy" flap, cheap no-name rack, Regal saddle, Thomson stem, and Salsa short and shallow bars. My normal commute was 42-46 miles round trip depending on the route I took home.

I've got a Big Leg Emma with Chorus 11 too.

That is a great looking bike. I saw a Look advertisement a few years ago that had a metallic burnt orange frame and fork. It was the first time I had ever lusted after a carbon frame.

Let's say a group of 50 riders shows up to ride - invariably the best looking bike is always white, I don't know why that is but it's true.

Mark,
That is absolutely stunning! How did you ever pull it off the wall? but now that you did how does it ride. There isn't anything out of place on that bike - your photos are great as well.
Thanks for posting this one wow - I haven't been here in a couple days - good thing I came back - wow!

My every day bike, every summer for the past several:

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/ramboorider/P1000050.jpg

My occasional bike, for rainy days, pre-meditated dirt roads, light touring, travel, or days when I just really want stupid low gears.

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh252/ramboorider/P1000053.jpg

Neither is new, neither is likely to ever be replaced, but never say never I guess. The only thing substantively new this summer are the wheels (both are tubeless sets) and the saddles - the Koobi saved my ass this season.

[dave thompson]

What a couple of splendid looking bikes Ray. Just really nice!

[Ray]

What a couple of splendid looking bikes Ray. Just really nice!
Thanks Dave - nice of you to say. I've actually had a couple of others that I thought were better LOOKING (being aesthetically partial to lugged steel) but none that rode as well. Which I coulda had done in steel, but just didn't. But these have been ridden often enough and long enough now that they're starting to get that "worn-in" look now and they look pretty good in their own rite.

I'll probably show em again next year when the same or similar question comes up. :cool:

Jack, I know you have trouble grasping the concept but according to the OP you're supposed to pick ONE bike.

[tuscanyswe]

Havent really been riding as much as i wanted this summer. But i intend to use this one from now on. Its a wonderfull riding bike. Thanks to Jason for letting me have a go.

[cleavel]

Hi,

Kind of like Jack, I rode each of these, as appropriate, this summer and enjoyed each of them while riding them:

For my the factory lightweight beat out the SSR and Chance for most of the summer.

My favorite choice this summer was fixed - something new I just started this past spring. It brings back some things I love about cycling I had forgotten.

Nice rig. I dig how you mounted your wrench to the bottle cage bosses. I guess the hub is a flip flop? I used to ride m-bars with my fixie, but I missed the position on the top of the bar near the stem too much, so I eventually switched to bullhorns. Have fun with that. Riding fixed is pretty addictive, innit?

fantastic looking bike, what color green is that?

[rwsaunders]

The red sled gets the starting call for the majority of my miles. My pimpin' Poprad (with fenders) is the relief ace for those wet, wild and dirty days.

Yes it's Di2. I took it into the Eastern Sierras this weekend and the electronic shifting worked perfect at 10,000 feet.

[happycampyer]

I couldn't resist buying this bike (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=55732) earlier this year. It took me a while to get around to building it up, but since it has been built it has by far seen the most riding. Prior to that, my VaMoots SL probably saw the most action.

Your Colnago is so right.

Thanks caleb,
I feel really good on it. It's the kind of ride, that I never get tired of.

Any thoughts on the differences between the Parlee and the Meivici you'd like to share? Both look fantastic!

[happycampyer]

Any thoughts on the differences between the Parlee and the Meivici you'd like to share? Both look fantastic!Thanks! It's hard to draw a direct comparison since the wheels and tires are different. I'm planning on doing an A/B ride one of these days (MV/Hyperon; Z3/Edge; MV/Edge; Z3/Hyperon), to see what I think. I can say that these two are the nicest riding carbon frames that I own, owned or have test ridden. I'm still kicking myself for missing JackB's Crumpton when jimcav sold it. :crap:

Fun bike, Rawland Olaf Single Speed. Great for local jaunts, some longer rides and a little dirt trail rides. Highly recommend. Just added the Jandd gear and I am happy with that as well.

This Argonaut MAX.

It fits me perfectly in every way. It rides like the steel frames I grew up on, yet somehow BETTER. It looks classic and gathers compliments wherever it goes.

I love this bicycle. Thanks, Ben.

I rode the S&S Coupled VaMoots most this summer, I was working on getting the fit dialed in. Now that she fits like a glove I will keep her in the box just waiting for travel days. I can switch back over to my VaMoots SL as my go to bike. I am leaving for California tomorrow (1 week) so she won't have to stay in the box much longer.

help!! - Dumb question. I took some picures of my bike that i was going to post here, but they would not upload because they were too big. Maximum size was 146.5 kb but mine was 1.77 mb...not even close. It's a jpeg image taken on a relatively cheap digital camera but i cannot find out how to adjust the file size so that it will fit.
