* what's in your stable? A whole ton of bikes, I fix an flip them to support this hobby- the keepers are the Stowe, the neon trek 850 (first "real" bike) and maybe the ti merckx and the carbon basso, but those have a price where I'd cave.

M-7,

I'm totally digging the polished Campy gear on your custom steel bike. It reminds me of my Campy Record gear from 96/97. I really miss the old polished look. Although I like blacked out gear, too, the polished stuff just says "class" to me.

Cheers,

Joey

* real name, if you like Joey Pulone
* where do you live? Ellicott City, MD
* explanation of your handle My old Border Collie's name
* explanation of your avatar My then 10 yo son MTBing w/ me at sunset
* age (general or specific) 43
* occupation Photographer (journalism & weddings mostly)
* favorite bike My new/old Kona 2-9
* what's in your stable? 2000 Klein Quantum Race, '93 Fat City Yo Eddy, 2008 Kona 2-9, '98 Cannondale CAAD 3, '94 Lightspeed Ocoee, 2013 Sette Reken, regrettably I sold my 1996 Bianchi Ti Mega Tube (I really miss that bike)
* fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? 64mph, very long/steep road in Anaheim Hills, CA in 1995. Hit 63mph on 10 mile decent from Rock Creek Lake in Eastern Sierras, CA circa 2000.
* how many miles ON THE ROAD on a road bike last year? Maybe 500 miles. Been floundering getting back into the sport in a serious way...lots of life stuff and being an overweight bastard.
* picture of yourself or your ride? Here's a link to a recent image of my boy and our 2 new MTB rides. Just finished building up both. Need to make some good images of my old Klein Quantum. http://instagram.com/p/Uu4W_KmW91/
* make up and answer at least one additional question. Now that I've successfully brainwashed my 12 yo son, I've been getting out on my MTB several days a week. My biggest thing is I'm looking to get that bug back, and lose the 75 lbs. I put on since I stopped racing in 2000. It's been a tough 13 years, and I'm anxious to feel good again. Consistency and diet are my big things.
* what is the biggest lie you've ever told I took my "room" money for a college semester to help buy a Honda CBR600F2 motorcycle and then slept on a friend's couch for months. Biggest lie and stupidest thing I've ever done.
* and, something fun. Planning a road cycling trip with a group of photographers around the Lake Tahoe region of the Sierras...late summer, early fall...so stoked. I'm also seriously figuring out how to relocate my family...places we're considering: San Diego/SoCal/San Luis Obispo, SF/Berkley/Marin County, CA, Portland/Bend, OR, Boulder/Edwards, CO
