What do you ride?

Since I am just joining and we are all basically new here. I was just wondering what everyone rides here. I always recognize the bike before the person, just wondering if I saw some of you guys around on the road.

I ride the following, depending on my mood...
-Specialized 2009 Langster Road Bike with flip flop hub (fixed), carbon fiber fork and seat post
-Nirve Pyro Cruiser with Nexus Planetary Gear: 3 Gears..
-Custom Lowrider Stretch Cruiser with Apehanger bars and banana seat (Single Coaster Gear)

Piks of each are all on my page if you wanna lookie.

What do you ride?

I ride the following two bikes regularly:

- 2006 Raleigh Rush Hour with eggplant DeepV's and track drops.



- 2008 Surly CrossCheck with STI shifters, fenders, and a nice pair of Salsa Poco bars. I only keep a rack on very long distance rides.



- 2006 Dahon D7 folder. This is used for getting to rehearsals during the year...and yes...I have jumped it off some sweet jumps, gosh!!

I have two Fujis (by accident, not by design) - my Fuji Track SE:


And my Fuji Newest road bike:


You can always tell it's mine because of the sticker (that I'm in love with) on the top tube:

i'm afraid the price is already being run up.

in high school i rode a KHS montana comp with true temper tubing. lightest and smoothest ride ever. then the deraileur hanger got twisted and the threads got stripped during a crash and i got rid of it. back then i was naive and all i wanted was as many speeds on my bike as possible. it would have made a fantastic single speed.

I'm probably going to shoot myself in the foot and run the price up by saying this, but I find mid/late 90s steel mountain bikes to be my sweet spot. I hope there enough pristine 18" Trek 930s sitting unused in garages and basements to last me another 30 years of riding.

I moved here with one bike, my Bridgestone XO-1:

Then complete mania took over, and I've ended up with several, all of which get ample attention. The Rambouillet is my main bike, which was assembled using most of the parts from my late RB-1:

1989 Fuso Lux:

1975(6?) Raleigh Super Tourer, that's quickly becoming my go-to, 'round-town, errand runner:

I also have a Bridgestone 500 that I have back in New Orleans, and a mountain bike that sees unfortunately little use. The other bikes are just too damn fun to ride!

I am so glad to see other bike collecting addicts. I was starting to feel alone with this problem.... =)

Old school early mid ninteys Raleigh Technium Optima.... I saw it on craigs list and paid $40 for it. The old guy said he had not ridden it in over 10 years. Was in great shape except for the dry rot tires. I swapped them out for new tubes and semi slicks. I only ride on the road or on the prairie path so no need for knobby tires.
I thew on some from and rear lights, bought a generator and installing some LED lights for safety (I only ride after dark).
