Nice. BMX inspired single-speed road bikes are my favorite thing right now. I figured you meant "not" too expensive.. so it's cool that it has survived wrecks. I love bikes that can take a beating. In fact, I don't feel all that comfortable riding in traffic unless I'm on a bike that I know won't break if I'm in a minor collision with a car. Also, I prefer to be able to ride on gravel and dirt and hop curbs and such.

Good to see a beach cruiser actually being used to cruise to the beach. :)

swim....what do you mean by "too expensive for a road bike"?

anyways....MANY pictures of my baby....a very expensive road bike

the specs :)

early 90s hand welded Ron Cooper frame and forks
Cinelli Centurion drop bars
Cinelli quill stem
hand spoked DT Swiss deep v rims with double butted spokes
Shimano Ultegra SL prototype group....originally owned by Greg LeMond

the only difference now from when i took these pics (right after he was built....somewhere in 2009)....is the pedals....i've since started liking egg-beaters

Very, very nice. Is this the bike that you mentioned "saving from a kid who wanted to turn it into a fixie" a while back?

I'll dig up some pictures of my road bike (an Eddie Merckx Century TSX circa 1990) and show them next.

i never learned how to ride a bike :(

i have a rusty purple one in my basement if that counts. it has training wheels and glitter and all. i haven''t seen it since i was seven. Now whenever i try to ride a bike it's either to big or i fall off.

Never too late to learn! It's so much fun.

My bike got stolen, right out of my own damn yard. So now I don't have one anymore. Here's hoping for a Christmas miracle...

I wish I had my own bike but I have to use my dads when I'm at my folks.
