Salutations all...

I'm Pete from WW. Have been lurking for a bit after noticing the cross-posting between the two forums. Enjoying things over here thus far.

I have a bike problem like many of you. The stable consists of:

1. Rossin Professional SLX, C-Record;
2. Kona Jake the Italian Snake, Campagnolo 10 speed smorgasbord;
3. Cervelo R3, Campagnolo SR 11 speed; and
4. Jamis Renegade Elite, Ultegra mechanical (scheming to replace with Campa, obviously).

I live between Lima, Peru and Washington DC, so ride quite often in both (it's a long story). Italian, transplanted in the US, Campagnolo lover (as is obvious).

Happy to be here!

Welcome!

I'd love to hear some stories about riding in and around Lima. I've been through there on the ends of two different trips to climb in the Cordillera Blanca, and the city seems like it would be a nightmare for cycling.

Thanks for the welcome. Riding in Lima is crazy with the poor roads, awful drivers, infrastructure issues and of course unbelievable traffic. But I wake up at 4AM to ride and it's not too bad. And then there are Sundays...

All shots taken in Lima:

The bikes...

Renegade Elite (bone stock, but to be converted to Campa before year-end):



Kona Jake the Italian Snake (recently converted to 10 speed Campa with bits laying around the garage):



De Rosa (all Campa C-Record except SR crankset and Shimano DA brakeset because I raced and Deltas didn't work for me):



Cervelo R3 (old shot, same frame and wheelset but now all SR 11 speed - no recent pictures!):

Marc, I think the Rossin looks great as is.

Pete: four bikes is not a problem, it's a solution.
